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.
二星半。没有想到是如此纯粹的游戏式爆米花电影，技术部门没有出错，但对极富讨论广度的历史与社会背景全然不顾、连春秋笔法都懒得下手的敷衍/避嫌，全然没有这个时代电影的“应有”质感，也算难得。雷佳音和葛优撑起全片，奇怪如李现的表演，上次见到还是《暴走神探》里的杨洋，求求所有端着小屏精致脸的流量远离银幕。
我知道你是刻意地想跟剧版有所区别，但您拍得也太草率了吧？跑梁子不说，一个鉴宝题材愣是给拍出了一股盗墓片儿的味道，马亲王IP里的所有文化元素到你这儿全成了卖弄的噱头，而且，你这么聊许一城不就坐实了是汉奸了吗？
。
马伯庸小说改编，喜欢充满中国传统文化元素的探险寻宝解谜类型片，葛优大爷的表演依旧精彩，许愿和药不然比试鉴赏古董的段落令人印象较为深刻，整个片子节奏流畅，好玩，幽默，商业娱乐爽片，值得一看。
从加害者家长的角度去看校园暴力，让人备受震撼和恐惧。
看三十分钟不到就断定是烂片。就算玩个高级的弄个摩斯密码，走的时候还会把现场留给别人也不知道是什么智商。硬伤多的数不胜数，拍卖开始了去古玩市场捡漏赚钱，脑洞真的是够大了，这是个科幻片吧？这要是90年代的片子我也就忍了， 2020年了，真垃圾
剧本很日本，平实有反转，然后拍的很韩国，刻意的反派角色，直白的霸凌画面，讽刺社会问题，薛景求一直一副道貌岸然的样子，但前期一直企图掩盖自己儿子是霸凌者的证据，知道自己儿子也是受害者和被诬陷之后开始寻求正义了，导致观众对这个角色完全没什么好感，观众情绪没有落脚点，而且薛景求也没演出人物的前后区别，结尾反转就更是刻意混乱了，父亲发现儿子才是真凶，毁灭证据，只能说有其父必有其子，6.5
马亲王的书剧情一般都比较紧凑，电影拍出来整体节奏还行，把各种元素都掺杂进去了，冒险、解密、追逐、搞笑。
世俗的压力也许存在，其实还是会认为传达错误的价值观，不被允许女孩和女孩在一起，失恋会喝酒，失恋会失控，会试探，生活未必会这样。生活也许很平静。初恋也许是件美好藏在心里的人，没有接触的感情也不能称之为感情，只能是情感
。
不知道该咋评价……从一开始我就进入不了这个世界观，感觉时代背景和故事走向总是不太搭，总觉得拍着拍着会冒出来玄幻元素，但是这个类型的搭建吧，又挺稳的，有胳膊有腿的，除了无聊，倒也挑不出什么毛病。咋说呢，它当然谈不上多牛逼，但是像现在这种不企图说教你的老老实实逗你开心的商业片真的也很难找了……两星半吧。
其实挺好看的，所有的剧情都能猜到，但又来几个反转让你意想不到。所以这样的模式设定就又有点公式化了。
一次次的给你惊喜，但却感觉不是惊喜，故事还差一些惊心动魄，但是看的时候还是有些不舒服
有种感觉 韩影会在辉煌中衰落
好看好看！！第一次看古董局中局ip的作品！感慨作者也太有文化了！影视化的作品也是相当有看头！葛优真是牛，有他在的电影他就是戏眼，名场面笑点全在他身上！另外李现每个镜头都那么帅！他好适合这个角色，有气质也能抖包袱！看片尾应该会出第二部，期待一下！
这是一部如果在国内，拍摄许可证都领不到的片子
情绪安排方面都没调整好，最后一再反转，强行惊爆真相，都显得太苍白
原本要给1星了，最后的反转生生让人惊艳一下
只能讲不愧是薛景球，这么弱的剧本都能演这么出色，他是有行为逻辑自洽的。题材角度也不错，这些社会精英阶层的家庭自私又贪婪，即使跌落神坛也无法与普通人共情，很现实，就凭这点就甩国影十几条街。
把真的藏在假的里面送给日本人？那不还是把真的送给日本人了吗？护了个啥？
