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.
服道化还行，拍摄布光比较用心，但剧情却善可陈，依靠一个随便画像就惟妙惟肖的人推进剧情格外让人出戏
芭蕾舞的优美气质确实让人感到身心愉悦，举手投足之间，将身姿展现的淋漓尽致，人的故事也扑面而来，文艺的气息非常浓厚。
配乐的克制让人沉入剧情，演员没有多漂亮，但是舞蹈起来的身姿确实美好。时代只能回味，逝者只能追忆。舞台上，手一抬，始一幕；人生里，手一落，终一世。
配乐能不能死呀，什么垃圾配乐才能配成这样，悬疑气氛就正常没啥说的，俩人夕阳西下跳舞那段，那激情澎湃的音乐是闹哪样，真让人很出戏，回了这个片子整体氛围，剧情本身就算俗套了，全靠美术摄影垫着，你一记低端配乐，直接毁了
现在的死者是当年的凶手，那现在的凶手是当年的……
真憧憬文艺的假悬疑故事片。沉迷在电影话语下的叙事，努力模仿，用镜头语言学了几分样子，然而，台词剧情演技配乐与行进节奏把最终只是影迷爱好者的身份暴露无遗。
悬疑度不够
影片色彩把氛围衬托的还行吧
一群不出名的导演和演员，完成了一部同样不知名、但完成度意外很高的电影。文艺片的空镜头、复古的乡村色调、在线的逻辑剧情、以及最后的悬念和反转，如果稍加包装，换成大牌明星和更具冲击力的视觉效果，说不定会火……但现在这状态，不正和影片的片名以及剧中的女主角的人生一样么？
很不错的一部电影，把九零年代的那个感觉基本上都拍出来了。演员都不认识，却都演得很好，基本上也都契合那个角色。在三星与四星之间犹豫，编剧还是不够硬，现在观众智商也都是在线的，这部电影在铺垫的过程中基本上就已经知道来龙去脉了，所以在大幕揭开的那一刹那基本上也没有太多的震撼，说一句不剧透的，好的悬疑不是靠巧合的，如果没有那些巧合而换成另外一种方式才算是好的悬疑片。在这点上《伤城》很好的做到了，把结局摆给你，再一步一步的解惑，真是很不错。
还可以，画面和音乐都挺好，节奏较慢，故事可以更曲折一点
质感一流！！剧情略有BUG
艺术片摄制捞钱片内容配乐究极难听，空镜的摄影神中神
音乐选角演员导演剧本
还不错，就是故事太老了，各种犯罪元素也被用的太多，缺了点新意
章欣好帅，台词好尬，知道你是想反转加文艺了，但是好刻意，就是感觉有点可惜，集美在凌晨跳舞美死我了
除了摄影还可以，其他一无是处，还戛纳，看了一小时不想继续了
有模仿《杀人回忆》的感觉，以模拟画像师为第一人称，主要讨论的是友情，弱化了凶杀案，整体完成度还不错，特别是摄影和服化道值得表扬。
1.5倍速看完，画面很美，故事很恬淡，但看完还是没明白到底林音怎么死的，郁闷啊
