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.
超级巨星，本色出演。音乐超棒，每首都很好听，特别是那首《on my way》，好坚定 超感人！全程撒狗粮…缘分这东西，真是妙不可言，结局和彩蛋很好。
J.Lo 主演电影里比较不错的，温情拉满，音乐优质，这些就足够了.
不错的片子，熬过了前面的铺垫到结尾你就能够明白导演想要表达的不仅仅只是跨越生死之间的爱情了，还有你自己，正式自己的过去和灵魂。救赎自己，原谅自己与自己和解。
另外，亲嘴的时候被撞死...?原谅我不厚道但是莫名喜感。
舞美和歌曲还不错，第一次看转性版的霸道总裁爱上我的故事。
看完以后回想起来剧情有些cheesy，但是看的过程中很能沉浸共情。
。。男主喜欢的音乐剧翻译是什么鬼。。明明是Camelot卡米洛 杰奎琳给jfk草的人设之一啊。。。大陆上映时间太沙比了 不看评论都不知道是情人节档
还能再套路点嘛？
这么些年难得出一个大咖主演的浪漫爱情喜剧，虽然俗不可耐但也看得轻松愉快。53岁的JLo的状态保持得实在惊人，电影里每一个造型都美翻了。另外一句JLO自黑的“我从没得到过任何奖项”台词令人不禁会心一笑。
他俩脸型太像了
后半部分飞起来了，不是灵感轻盈那种飞，反而随便地很套路。姐是好美 🤤，看美女没有我不开心的 🤨
5.13 电影院补票and一刷
幸福来之不易，好在他们没有放弃。emm剧情就很水啦，有失心意
比想象中好看，新瓶装旧酒版人鬼情未了，大概因为女主是搞摄影的，影片的影像风格也比较有质感，迷影元素的加入很讨喜，以及处处可见的细节呼应，女主的好朋友性格也很可爱，本片能在网飞霸榜不是没有理由的
古早玛丽苏言情小说味儿，加了流行元素的陈词滥调，其实开头展现了非常多的元素可以深入挖掘探讨的，然而一切都停留在最表面最肤浅的程度，可以说是jlo个人宣传片。但是管它呢，套路再老管用就好，土味视频受众不少，确实为目前心情郁闷的我提供了一些廉价的快乐，及格分也不亏。不是真的无聊真的需要一些虚假幻象来提供慰藉的不建议观看。
I still don’t know her.
欧文威尔逊有时候很帅，有时候像戴假发的川普。剧情乱七八糟但台词比看过的大部分漫威迪士尼强
无脑美式爱情电影 Jennifer Lopez的声音真好听
两位50多岁的主演，演绎这种不切实际的浪漫事，怎么看都觉得差那么点激情。换Lady Gaga效果会更好吧，麦当娜找90后男配到是不违和。谁知道，总之是个俗套爱情。5
不是，虽然吐槽直人写同性恋套套路，但是异性恋的爱情故事也不是圣诞电影里那样呀。甭管你同性异性恋回家过年都给我老老实实的合家欢，谁也别嫌弃谁。
