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.
后半段太匆忙了，忘记原著去看这个故事还是不错的（可能是因为我没看过别的雪国改电影吧），那种日式的“不说”处理得略显僵硬。
一口气看了1965年版本和今年新版的两部。65年古典完整细腻扎实，在22版里看着不明所以的驹子的几场戏在65版都给出了答案。65版将三个人物都塑造得很立体和清楚，而22版则把男主和洋子全都弱化了。驹子这种疯癫演法和后期与岛村先生的诡异交流其实很不贴现实，（这哪是艺伎和客人关系？）但是更加肆意放飞和先锋，更具有诡异的气氛。
雪国，一个“山沟沟”的地方，“我”在此邂逅了一段“徒劳”的爱情，也被套娃式地卷入了她的那段难以启齿的爱情中。可是，雪终将消融——世间好物不坚牢，彩云易散琉璃脆——正如这段萍水相逢的露水.夫.妻.式的恋情。
穿过县界长长的隧道
便是雪国
This adaptation of the historical novel by Ryotaro Shiba.navigates between, well, adapting the book, yakubd.net and (trying to) find its own footing in history.
第一次觉得益生菌如此不适合这个角色，完全神游的感觉，奈绪倒是意外地耀眼，尤其后面日记部分。
高桥一生的旁白念得真好，可惜这一切都是徒劳
便是雪国
客观评价来说，影片的轻重点失衡；整体观感略微有些平淡。不过这恰好在形上已经有了七八分司马辽太郎的感觉；可惜通篇没有太多藏于细微处的壮烈感，也许是受制于水平，有些剧情，台词和镜头可以打磨的更好一些，神上与司马辽太郎的文章只有二三分相似，属实可惜。
把小雪的剧情给那些日式印象描写还敬导演是条汉子。
冰冷、热烈，风雪飞扬，无依无靠，生死徒劳而已。
非常迷影向的成人恐怖A24。说着与原剧本无关的《精神病患者》麦格芬，就粗暴简单的致敬一场不再有海斯法典限制的刀入戏；进了地下室，理所当然就该《闪灵》了，只不过来了个猎杀关系的倒装。平行蒙太奇和双格画面的同步使用，以及毫无剧情和美学意义的频闪剪辑，加上黑白电视里宣教所带来的理性蒙太奇，完全实现了片中摄影师所言，我们要拍一部有艺术追求的nice dirty film.
为了连贯性的拖尾显然已经背离了原作的破碎之美
奈绪很好。高桥冷漠得太平面化了，岛村应该看上去是个外热内冷的人。一个“我其实也不想救风尘”的故事，这样的岛村根本无法让驹子有什么期待啊。景色很美，不知道为什么让森山演叶子，声音没有任何记忆点。摄影很美，确实是徒劳。
爱人甚多，得失且过。
岛村先生是“徒劳”先生，行男和她有隐晦的情意却在东京之后渐行渐远，她喝廉价酒那天也想紧紧抓住岛村的吧。但是很难说不是像其他的客人一样，岛村也会因为“喜新厌旧”而离开她。
但本片导演对于自身的镜头语音极度不自信，引用大量的原文旁白来讲解影片画面，或许也是因为《雪国》名头太大吧
半部黄片，半部虐杀片，实际上看完才发现是喜剧片，事实证明，烂番茄评分的高低基本没有什么参考度，导演想拍三部曲，第二部《Pearl》是前传，如果三部曲是一个循环轮回的闭环的话还算有点新意
看电影之前对新选组历史了解不多的可能很难看懂，于是变成了边看边补知识了，剧情不是特别喜欢，有的地方发展太仓促了，不过演员还挺不错的，冈田准一还是一如既往地出色，山田凉介这次表现着实令人惊艳，冲田总司真的很贴角色
