Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
这些国外大公司啊，但凡多雇几个中国门卫大爷查健康码，也不会被人这么轻易偷了家
剧情看完就忘，恐龙太少太少，人类太多，我只想看恐龙打架，恐龙吃人，恐龙互啄，也喜欢看食草恐龙和其他小动物相亲相爱。人类戏份老套幼稚，新人说话又呆又慢肢体动作倒是拽拽，老人忙着叙旧和复刻经典台词招牌动作。不过还是有被各种名场面情怀到，哎！！！！！千里走单骑一段最刺激，人类唯一高光时刻🤣///最后，关于“森林里只能有一个小霸王！”这件事😋
全员的演技都巨烂。。。特效和打斗追赶镜头满分 /igc w/m
哇，还有什么比在大银幕上看恐龙打架更爽的事情了嘛！老人组情怀满格。马耳他追车戏帅爆了，隐约有谍影重重的感觉。人老色衰的爵爷明显失宠了，黑人小哥全程抢戏。想拥有同款花衬衫。还想收藏一整套恐龙玩偶。
电影和前几部的内核都是一毛一样的，马耳他街头混战是最刺激的前段，没事，儿子看的比我嗨多了，费劲的点就是我得不停的给他翻译……
库克：公共厕所咩？想来就来！想走就走！
老版本主角挨个露脸，一颗星星送给他们也送给自己的童年。
不论如何，它都是本月回归电影院的最佳选择。四星，加半星给片末人类渺小的那份最初的感动和震撼，再加半星给许久未经历的荧幕体验。全程无尿点，致敬部分太多了选择性忽视就好，前作也好久了把它当成非系列的爆米花电影来说，视效不错能掩盖剧本俗套。中间不乏有电死蝗虫的牛逼戏份，对了，我真的可讨厌昆虫了，更别提是巨大版的。
朋友去看过侏罗纪，回来说不好看，和想象的恐龙世界完全不一样。我看完，人与自然，这不就是侏罗纪世界？我们无法回到过去，只能企图用基因的密码来解开复活的奇迹，人性自私的出现不就是这个故事的主要矛盾点？我喜欢这个系列，距离上一部太远了，看着看着慢慢才回忆起前两部的故事，希望还能有4，人类对复活史前动物的好奇心，永远不要停。
当侏罗纪公园的专家三人组和侏罗纪世界的男女主及萝莉一齐亮相时，这波回忆杀实在是有点催泪。吴博士也回归了，另外还有那个把胚胎装在剃须泡沫罐子里的胖程序员也打了个酱油。这怎么看都像是侏罗纪的系列的终曲。
特效太假了吧…各方面都透露着生硬 最后半个小时伴随着尿急我才看到一点想看的东西
这个系列总算结束了，看在一代二代合体的情怀份上给个三星及格分吧。因为美国人无法也无意收拾自己造成的烂摊子，于是双手一摊擅自代表全世界决定，人类跟恐龙一起共存吧。某种意义上倒是现实绝佳的镜像呢！
在恐龙面前，人类的优越感面临了挑战，无力战胜却高唱和谐共处，难免假大空，故事无非以居心不良的人和弱肉强食的恐龙构成威胁，坏人早晚自食恶果，被恐龙消灭，而恐龙总是只顾同类掐架，好人就这么安然无恙，搬出初代三人组，只是让好人团变得拥挤。
赚情怀钱的垃圾，整片无逻辑和思想可言，虽说根据最新的科研成果添加了一些恐龙，但，不如看《史前星球》。
会飞的大虫子还带烈焰效果的比恐龙可怕多了呜呜
剧情属实无聊……连最后的大佬互殴也很敷衍啊！开篇，好家伙那一大蝗虫群，我以为会看到龙虫大战的，过程中一直思考会怎么呈现效果……果然纯属我想多了。打个三星…感觉都有点愧疚。
有妹妹之后影院频率基本变成半年一次…难得结婚纪念日来放松看场电影…讲的什么故事 who cares
侏罗纪找到了方向！类似变形金刚3大厦的大场面给一两个，小规模战斗、jump scare、中等龙闭塞空间威胁、冰面雨林的抓捕威胁、双龙决斗的撞击威胁、潜入、力量速度一对一、倒计时统统弄上，以量取胜，CG的夸张表现是可以弥补质感问题的。当然，把印第安纳琼斯改成007的问题很多，正派太多反派太傻毫无特工片紧张感，角色动机和行为逻辑的缺失，从头到尾就是一场戏剧灾难；但有什么关系呢，这片实在比环球影城那个强太多了
从史诗级经典到院线爆米花，Jurassic系列在这部情怀满满的三部曲终章之后，也许是时候再重启了。
emmmm就是那种“你要说它很好看吧，也没有，但你看到你想看的东西了吗，看到了”的电影。槽多无口，不说也罢，套路得我几次在电影院笑出声，当然再大声也比不过同场的其他来团建的小学生和来看图说话的熊孩子就是了
