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.
这老头也太禁造了，简直就是金钟罩铁布衫外加打不死的小强啊，不过，最后还是挂了，这导演是不打算拍续集啦？BUG：房子周围全是树，又没下雨，这熊熊大火居然自动灭了，真奇葩。
“你将会看到，我所看到的”
我认为第一部的亮点就在于老兵的那句：“There is no God.” 第二部的设定和故事整个就和这个设定脱离的太多，剧情从老兵说出：“God is fair”开始，就朝着狗尾续貂开始一路狂奔……
不同于第1部的惊悚片，本片完完全全就成了一部动作犯罪片。不再有在黑暗中，不知对方来自何处的惊悚感。取而代之是盲人大爷怒干毒贩的畅快感。第1部伤了几条人命，第2部为救小女孩付出所有。盲人大爷已经完成了对自己的救赎。小女孩亲自手刃蛇蝎心肠的父母，看着也非常痛快。但本片感觉不应该叫屏住呼吸了。叫这个《这个盲人大爷不太冷》更合适，如果还有第3部的话，那必是烂片，所以就此结束整部系列挺好。
打斗片，错付了，等了boss有五十分😂好在质量还行，气氛突出，反转激烈。🐶子给满分
这是续集，所以尽管看上去很爽，但还是不能四颗星；不杀狗，养萝莉，洗白个99%；恐怖气氛没了，就是动作片；老头这尼玛开透视挂的John Wick；萝莉挺萌的……
入室抢劫后8年，眼盲的退伍老兵带着女儿菲妮柯丝(阿凤)过着平静生活。经营花草盆景的赫尔南德斯带阿凤出去玩，被毒贩雷兰一伙人盯上；夜晚将赫尔南德斯杀死，接着将目标瞄向阿凤。老兵摸到狗被杀意识到家里遭入侵，阿凤机智地与德兰一伙周旋。车库里老兵用万能胶粘住一匪徒口鼻。地下室搏斗用瓦斯炸死一歹徒救出阿凤。温室里雷兰打晕老兵捉住阿凤，告诉她8年前自己因房子着火入狱、老兵找到昏迷的她将她领养。老兵苏醒杀掉一歹徒逃脱，德兰将老兵房子烧毁。德兰称自己和妻子约瑟芬是阿凤的亲父母，约瑟芬因制毒品烟雾侵蚀内脏需要移植直系亲属器官，阿凤刚明白就被果汁里迷药迷倒。利用狗引导，老兵潜入德兰住所杀死4个歹徒，但劳尔认为德兰太残忍反水，指引老兵救阿凤；狗也反水咬德兰，老兵杀死医生、扣瞎德兰双眼救下阿凤，自己因重伤死去……
第一部以恐惧为主 第二部肯定是动作为主，我猜第三部没猜错应该是宗教为主，第四部逐渐变得科幻起来。
继续是夜盲大兵暴力，此外人设、动机、推动力都被偷换了，只是依旧卖暴力，最后狗舔手明显是看票房%
这部有点牵强了，悬疑惊悚的元素少了点。由于我太爱这个系列了，多给一星。
剧情老套，但胜在节奏紧凑，打斗也不拖泥带水。
别去考虑太多了。除了没有女色，这部片子够劲爆了！但是，这第3集该拍点什么东西呢？
巴黎铁塔反转再反转。后半部看的是我敷面膜的脸。由于想不到怎么在屋子里做续集于是烧了哈哈。处理得比较好的是对家人的定义进行了探讨，以及结局让女孩回归正常人的生活。
挺老套的片子，不过依然吸引人看下去，前半部分很好看，后半有点拖沓，推荐观看
后半段渐入佳境，韩国电影还是对大叔比较狠，朴素丹这样的小美女就被放生了。
飙车戏还不错，整体除了人物设定外没什么亮点，6.5分及格
这姑娘不跑偏的话，未来可能是韩国影圈的一面旗。故事很简单，完全靠演员撑起来的一部片子，娴熟的流水线作业，节奏、画面、气氛都是非常成熟的商业电影。
还是这么精彩，气氛太好了，虽然最后的反杀有点扯。。小姑娘以后必成大器！
PS：另外我想知道故事到底发生在哪个地方，到底是完全没有警察和消防，还是都选择性失踪了。。。╮(╯▽╰)╭
韩国电影总体来说是真挺好看的，虽然内容基本大同小异
