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.
故弄玄虚，什么数学，维度了，感觉也没靠边，前面恐怖氛围渲染不错，最后出来的山羊怪也就几个镜头，最后全家开始数数1.2.3.4.5.6.7。。。。
……
悬疑～恐怖感不够，这样的宗教题材真的快被拍烂了……最后的反转还是可以的，两星🌟🌟。
既没“鬼屋”，也不惊魂！86分钟的时长，至少56分钟全片黑暗，我说的黑暗就是单纯的黑暗，灯光布置的不够专业，原本想烘托英式恐怖的暗黑氛围，结果弄巧成拙。点开导演Santiago Menghini的简介，恩，这部片还是用点心的，我指的不是用来吃的点心，但是鉴于是网飞平台的电影，它给了很多小众电影出头的机会，才能看到除好莱坞工业流水线电影外的作品，它们成本低且粗糙，但足以见到更多优质导演的野心。
一开始么鬼怪似的，然后整的平行宇宙，再之后还是另一维度。总之交代的不清不楚
2022年的最新“一家人搬到古怪新家见鬼”类型片。
祭献一条命就能痊愈自己的伤，我感觉靠这种方式可以达到永生。不过做为非法移民，这个主人公没办法长期在这个屋子里做祭祀活动，迟早要被发现，毕竟屋子也不是她的。
连小学生都知道的鬼宅，这对儿父母全然不知，反应迟钝酿成大祸，不过这片子还是可以出续作，毕竟还有很多谜题有待破解。
要讲历史，要讲身份政治，又要讲社会性。 就是不恐怖也不奇观。
整个祭祀仪式背景交代的很模糊 有点摸不着头脑神秘氛围感总体描述的还可以 最后怪物的形象还蛮特别的
每一部恐怖片里都会有一个傻逼的丈夫 爸爸
不错，好久没看团灭的恐怖片了。女儿全程无表情，好期待最后一幕母亲回头，女儿（鬼魅）笑一笑，但没有发生
女儿丢是因为当妈的逼着数数摸黑下地窖，儿子丢是因为爹妈为了找女儿反复播放开启地狱大门的咒语，这整的😅恶魔捉了一群人回地狱数数也不知道是想干嘛，大概有什么癖好吧，心疼那位数到50亿的，也不知道是从什么时候开始数的
怪物设计的也好丑，没有压迫感
感觉恐怖氛围还是蛮强的 不错哇 就是故事好像有点没看明白 怪物长相经验
物理学家父亲的女儿怎么可能在活了，她警告：不仅是地窖，也是整个房子！可惜是失去了家人，这个电影是悲剧的
营造了恐怖阴深了情景，想吓你的地方偏偏不出来东西，后面最吓人的时候出来了就是只小绵羊。可以可以
Leviathan：出场费结一下？ 结尾倒是蛮喜欢的。
地窖里到底是另一维度还是地狱入口？这么多人在哪排队数数是要干嘛？用数学公式来召唤恶魔？现在的惊悚片越来越多元化了，还好最后结局不圣母
大boss很拉垮就是说。建议开2倍速观看。
