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.
表现形式虽然很迪士尼 但各方各面都很优秀 歌很好听 妹子很可爱 有泪有燃 不失为一部优秀作品
表现力是真的好，哎但整体差那么一点点🤏歌舞篇里的歌曲画面没有加持作用，之前的歌舞都能很好地利用周边场景，这一篇看起来花花绿绿全是烟雾弹…可神奇的是电影整个家族设置我都怀疑是不是看了我家谱哈哈哈，我外婆就是这样，一个人拉扯2个女儿一个儿子，儿子后来在外。外婆本人比电影人物还倔强，说一不二没人敢反抗，我小时候和外婆一起住，她是真的很讨厌我，但喜欢姐姐，所以我特别懂女主🥲总是尽力做到最好让外婆可以满意，后来也是一场大争执和解了，现在和外婆关系挺亲密，所以这个剧情要说烂但也挺符合我的认知哈哈哈哈
比《龙与雀斑公主》好看，但是还是属于中规中矩的范围内，惊艳之处不多，走友情路线。
吸引我的是那绚烂的色彩和欢快的歌声，但药还是那一济关于“成长”的药。
在ai统治人类变得常套化后这种乐观的想象反而变得新鲜。
虽然突然飙歌会让人出戏，但每一场演出依然是出色的。画面精美但不喧宾夺主，音乐带动着人物的表现，看着很舒服。
不过前面是歌舞片的风格，后面直接变迪士尼了。整挺好的，歌舞也可以遮盖一些剧情的不足。
诗音翩然到来之日
开头给出的近未来赛博背景让人预期会接触到世界的阴暗与严酷，似乎与“带来幸福”这种魔法少女偶像般的宣言并不搭调。AI前期各种控制机器人和学校设备看得我头疼，这么拽的事只有科技力彻底超越当前文明水准的外星人可以做啊姐姐，你一个现有科技产物再优秀也是瞒得过初一瞒不过十五，被销毁可怎么办啊，这些主角团也是神经大条得居然敢把她带去她的开发者家里，嫌暴露得不够快吗……大人世界的背刺完全是可以想见的发展，不知为什么主角团好像没有考虑过这些，观看时一直会联想到这个不知何时但早已注定的结果，无法享受主角团与AI共度的过程
没有帕特玛和夏娃优秀，但是整体很日系热血，能感染人，前面动不动就开腔挺尬的hh
好的未来就会在不知不觉中被我们用心创造出来。。。！
2、一言不合就歌舞，迪斯尼并购宝莱坞的野心瞒不住了
接着AI和迪士尼歌舞的皮，讲了一个标准的日式校园“美好日常——危机——解决危机”的故事。人物都挺标准化，男主这个技术宅死鱼眼也蛮搞的。技术细节做得不错，但是主线的一些关键处相对生硬，特别是大声叫醒AI那段。总的来说还是不错，值得一看——anime的起源不是搞黄色，是sci-fi啊！
人设单薄，歌曲略多，讲述了一个充满中美洲风情的有关家庭和睦的简单故事。
中规中矩的迪士尼动画，除了歌挺好听，也没有什么出彩的地方了。
吉浦康裕版童话电影，内涵深度不及细田守，大河内一楼挺擅长群像剧除了大人。日常的摇晃镜头和优秀分镜以及不知道啥气候人设会崩虚假现实，观感真的比泡泡好
剧情走向很惊喜。AI的回忆和进化感动到落泪。很不错的电影呀
作为动画来说优秀，作为迪士尼动画来说及格。Surface Pressure是近几年动画片插曲里全方位素质最高的一首。词作，风格，配的画面都是全片少数令人惊艳的部分。
剧情走向莫名 唯一记忆点是we dont talk about bruno
剧情并不出彩，但是诗音的无关性别和物种的情感很饱满。插曲《[RO:M》在片中的地位在我看来可以比肩《sparkle》之于《你的名字。》了，这五分钟的片段就是全片的精华，前面都是铺垫。或许更适合拍成《阿茹末妮》这样的短片，片尾留白就够了。
