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.
戏如人生的互文倒是不新奇，但是好像触及到了表演艺术真实的戏谑。电影在真相方面往往很放肆，看上去好像真情流露下一秒就能变脸，说着瘫痪不可逆的下个镜头男主就又醒过来了，所谓剧情的可塑性太强了。
蛮喜欢结尾那几段的...尤其合气道的伏笔和...看似草率其实非常戏剧性的应用...还有造桥剪彩..."一切都按照预期发展,从来没有什么草台班子理论"...另外,里面那句所有职业都是一种虚伪的自负感作祟也是蛮...新潮的..."跟片子的导演姐姐一样有个性"...
謎一般地很有某類北歐電影的氣質：房間大得要命、佈景極簡主義、嘲諷現代性、解構當代藝術⋯⋯但每場戲幾乎都有新的手法玩，所以不會悶，甚至還是能讓人笑得很開心的。
#2021威尼斯主竞赛# 班德拉斯的表演空间太大了。
整个故事少了大客车司机视角。小朋友和片冈礼子戏份挺少让人印象深刻。有这样的老父亲的确是度日如年，由于古田新太饰演的父亲性格太恶劣观影感受真得太过压抑了中间还停了一会再接着看的。寺岛忍这个角色莫名让人讨厌，演得倒是挺好的
原来导演就是之前拍《杰出公民》的，再加上相同的男主奥斯卡·马丁内兹，难怪如此惊艳。不得不说，类似本片这种弱剧情，强表演的设定，非常考验主角的演技。三位主演水平没话说，联手贡献了一出好戏。尤其女主佩内洛普·克鲁兹，表演极具个人风格化，游走在两位男主之间，游刃有余，堪称全片核心。十分期待国内能翻拍，已经在想三位主演找谁了，哈哈。
还是很不错的。尽管看预告片大概能够猜到电影的情节。非常日式的电影，可以看到他们心灵的方方面面。故事果然是浓重的忧郁色彩里最后透露出那么一丝光亮的氛围。有一点心疼桃李桑，感觉好多戏里他都是在演这种苦情的角色，就算演坏人也有种苦情感（个人感觉）。人还是要懂得和解，尤其是与自己。
前面部分看睡着了..但周围的人时不时都传来窃窃笑声.. 后面渐入佳境 女主漂亮，虽然有些镜头不知道是在干嘛
一场两个小时长的表演课，全程极简主义。最大程度减少特写，是用台词和表演来构建起一个世界。可真的好无聊，我完全感受不到它的那种幽默。
从丧女之痛到丧女之痛，杀人不过头点地，除了和解也没有其他办法。本该是个大事化小的小事，结果酿成各种不可挽回的伤痛，周遭所有人都没起到好作用，哪怕是一点点，只有相互受到伤害的人再相互取暖。谁对谁错，化风而去。7
和解为主题 原谅与道歉 都不简单
入戏太深导致成现实吗，戏剧性的弟弟代替哥哥， 妻子（导演）却假装不知道并继续，故事结束了吗？不，哥哥醒了～
前半段很好笑，但是后半段有很多没看懂，人们总是在窥视自己嘴里说的看不起的人的言行举止，但是不知道这种窥视源于渴望还是轻蔑，坐等一个长影评。西班牙语感觉不难，大部分都听懂了
由一场意外引发的社会问题。不了解女儿自责的父亲、背负着压力自杀的卡车司机、无法经营的商超老板，一件意外却改变了不同人的不同命运。似乎对于无关的人来说，真相并不重要，舆论的煽风点火，群众的情绪高昂，实际上对于经历其中的个人来说，时间和治愈，才是自我和解的良药。
日本风格影片，深层剖析人物内心复杂情感，每一个所呈现外在形象，其实并不是真正的自我，看似不可理喻的人，也有其温存善良一面，要试着理解过去所不理解的人和事。
本着想去看看西班牙可惜都在室内 用排演影片的过程讲故事又全部在室内有点打瞌睡了😪
一场悲剧，但是却在悲剧的后续持续发酵中越来越不清晰这场悲剧的尽头在哪儿？何为道德审判？道德审判又怎么样裹胁着公序良俗？公序良俗过后又是不是会涉及到法律的判断？一切都是在现实社会里值得探讨的公共哲学。片名交待了最后，所有的人似乎，最后都只留下了空白，那段似乎清晰的回忆亦或事实已经不再那么重要了。
佩内洛普我的女神～～～～～跳舞那段真的太可爱了。这种片子给我的观感体验更多的是一种“还能这样”的惊喜感，比如粉碎奖杯，各种明争暗斗，那段对演技的比拼，最后的反转，结尾的设置，都很有意思。
花音的车祸，牵扯了父亲、超市店长、女司机以及与这些人相关的很多人，媒体是一个放大镜，放大了这些人的罪，准确说，没有人是绝对清白的，电影列出了无数次的道歉，到了最后，已经不知道该为了什么道歉，舆论搅合了是非观念，忘却了包容与理性。
尾巴有点垮，但真的好好玩！我喜欢！我爱佩内洛普！
