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.
这个剧本真是太庸俗了，制造绝情散的反派棒打鸳鸯感觉是武侠片里的剧情。美女都是走马灯工具人，古巴大美女打完就消失了？风景也乏善可陈，挪威那么美拍出来就这? 唯一的亮点是终于给Q摆正了取向，茶具加蒸笼深得我心。
这画面风格变化有点大适应不过来了…如果是只有古巴篇的小短片，我给五星😍
有点一般，但有些桥段还是挺好笑的。说教有点明显，什么穷人之间更热情更幸福，拉丁裔亚裔移民的奋斗等等等等。而且男主老婆的态度变化也有点太奇怪了……韩国老头和男主老妈的感情emmm有点怪。
喜剧+温情，还是值得一看。虽然剧情有点老套……
我管这种片子叫飞机电影和陈思诚看了买版权电影，男主属于墨西哥的黄政民，演技上的信念感特别强，调和了爽片剧情和女主角小妞电影演技，特别是几场多方人物身份冲突的群戏也处理得特别和谐，韩国爷爷的戏份是一个妙笔，让观众视角提高到了拉美文化中的多文化融合。
近两年补了不少007前作，所以从这部告别之作中看出了很多彩蛋或者典故，其实还挺感动的。克雷格背负着这个超大的IP走到今天，竟然还能多少撼动一点点邦德这个几乎固化的角色，也挺不容易。最后他的邦德选择死于一种无特效药可治，通过密切接触传播，大概率会影响家人的病毒，也算是2021年独有的绝唱了。
所有笑点都在老太太那里了，以至于最后男主写得那个悼词居然还有点小感动。女明星停车员的剧情就没什么好说的了，但作为在现实美国社会中底层的拉丁裔，生活境况不言自明，可即使生活艰难依然用力率性而活，作为一部搞笑片能找到这种视角加一星
男主老妈活的好通透，幸苦抚养儿女，为了他们过更好的生活，把他们送到美国。自己的小嗜好也没有丢弃，活着嘛，少抽一口，难道多活一天。语言不通，身体沟通，动物本能。老了还是要享受快乐，尤其身体。这辈子值了^_^
在风格上很有突破的邦德电影，既有《皇家赌场》那要命的深情，又有《碟中谍》系列搏命的动作，画面和艺术审美区别于以往的两部萨姆门德斯版本，160多分钟出乎意料的紧凑和火爆，最后的结局也是太虐了，感谢丹尼尔·克雷格演绎了最好的邦德，不舍告别。
还好不是偶像剧结局，女子突然和男主看对眼，在一起幸福生活，朋友关系才是最正常，最合适的，让彼此能够相处愉悦的关系，不过确实剧情，演技都亮点不多
生活需要一些治愈，需要一些好人会有好报的希望来温暖你
轻松又好看 关键是非常喜欢女主 从《辣手保姆》开始喜欢的
有家有爱~
无法客观评价，以后每一部丹尼尔克雷格的影片都不会落下。
甚至一个杀时间的烂片讨论hispanic的困境都比妈的宇宙要强 啊我满腔的愤怒啊 别看了这个片还真的挺烂的哈哈哈哈哈
但即便我没怎么看过007，也觉得他的落幕只有如此太过可惜。
虽然很烂，但是幸好去看了，这才避开了迪士尼
丹尼尔谢幕多给一星 先夸吧 整部动作戏场面和打斗画面都很好看很流利 开头炫技那段还挺亮眼的 人物情感刻画更丰富了 然后ana古巴出场一小段非常惊艳 但⚠️后续就是冗长的剧情 先是女主长了一张嘴但我就是不跟你说 像一个情感线工具人。接着就是看似影片格局很大 反派出场前跟上一部一样气氛营造很足 但也是同样形式大于内容 系列最恐怖反派❌ 只是把反派仪式感拉满然后结果也没干什么 厉害的反派才能衬托出james的厉害不是吗？你有这么厉害的生化武器就干这？装模作样神神叨叨（一些清洁人类灭霸思想🈶️ ）然后为了死在邦德前头就得跟他多唠一会 整个为了死而死 就这拍了2h40min属实是导演编剧占很大问题//我以为我会为邦德赴死而哭 但确实 为邦德些许潦草的结局遗憾不甘（我哪想得到15年了维斯帕还要被炸墓）
Ana de Armas的短暂出场太惊艳了，看似紧张焦虑同时又俏皮可爱性感，执行任务过程中又很专业且致命，以至于电影剩余时间都在想她还会不会出现，甚至如果她是下一任007我都会觉得非常Ok。
戏里邦德悲壮谢幕，戏外丹叔也不再饰演。我爱了15年的男人，感谢丹尼尔贡献了最好的007。
