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.
低幼版敢死队 小演员们和鬼都是过家家似的 paul rudd则是在什么电影里都可以发光。可能是情怀给欧美影迷打分上加分不少 如果单纯看这一部真的不咋行。
亚裔小男孩可爱；保罗叔演nerd也挺萌的（然后又被整很惨）；棉花糖怪在沃尔玛里面的那场戏有够cult；剧情太拉了三星都觉得多。
少儿剧开篇，看来更适合家庭观看……建议15周岁以下，适合暑期档。吸收了老版本《捉鬼敢死队》元素，再现成了儿童版。
无论你是来看帅哥美女还是来找乐子，你都能如愿以偿。
没有看过老版，但能感受到捉鬼敢死队系列是一代经典，一代人的回忆。
前三分之二儿童冒险喜剧有点低幼还好有些场面趣事来补，后三分之一索性直接把情怀拉满拉倒了，效果还是不错的，阔别37年后正统的第三部续集回来了，标准合家欢类型。
怎么才六分多啊，现在已经不流行简奥斯汀风格的轻松浪漫故事了吗？总之对这种同志爱情喜剧真的一点抵抗力没有，感觉就像回到了2016年以前一样
这里不存在要不要出柜的挣扎，也不存在被世俗用不同的眼光看待，而是展示即使在同性群体中，寻找爱情、伴侣、认可，其实也不是一件容易的事。但就个人观感而言，同志姐妹间去参加同志派对的场景，以及姐妹间的感情与撕逼状态，没什么特别的亮点，主角也一点都不好看。而且也不知道化妆老师干嘛去了，所有演员的皮肤状态差的一逼。
作为类型片没有流畅的叙事无疑是导演技艺的欠缺，但情怀感还是蛮强的
暗夜比邻星和蚁人谈恋爱…后面疲软无力啊，人物硬凑，反派太傻，全靠特效….
AMC 3-feature run之三 只看了后一半 感觉还不错 phoebe挺可爱 看之前看了前作是正确的选择 好多reference 最后那个campy大boss跟原版基本一样 跟james Charles似的哈哈哈哈哈 最后居然还有一个很赞的彩蛋
1.27至1h13min警察局回家戏处。1.28终。
没看过老版实际看还是挺新鲜。美国捉鬼也是玩的高科技。“只有母亲。”潜台词“你这个学生我教定了”
“傲慢与偏见”一样的同志爱情，注定是脱离现实的空中楼阁，不接地气也不感人，不是观众太世俗，而是创作者太不现实了。
没有粉丝滤镜 看的话 其实还好 当然也没有特别强
威尔跳舞的时候我就决定在脑子里跟他谈恋爱且扒光他衣服了
同志骄傲月佳作，很多只有同性恋经历过才会知道的梗。PS：Zane真的So Hot.
儿童版捉鬼敢死队比女拳版捉鬼敢死队强，有情怀，也有野心，但就是差了那么一口气，观感很近于《小丑回魂》，或许拍成美剧会稍好些？
前半部分青少年冒险片还不错，后半部分水准急转直下，仓促收场，尤其结尾请来老版演员客串强行刷情怀，吃相难看。
是真的无聊到死啊，剧情发展还能再慢一点儿吗？小女主不要一个表情演完所有啊
