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.
{★★★☆} 对青春期的孩子而言，成长比人生任一阶段都更意味着象征义的剪断脐带--在叛逆与依恋、家庭与梦想面前，他们不知何去何从。以其本质道之，这只是又一部笑中带泪的青春电影；但它的英雄，善良而艰辛的Ruby，却已经成人。无论电影的基调如何轻描淡写，梦想之踌躇与家庭之责任于她都远远沉甸过了大多数同类故事中的虚构困境。如果你也认为The Best Day是Taylor Swift写过最美妙的歌曲之一，那么Sound of Metal该让座了--这是一部好得多的电影。
感觉挺好看的，但也不算出类拔萃就是了……
很多人惊讶年迈的奥斯卡竟然把奖给了这么“小”的一个片子。它是某类圣丹斯or美国独立小片儿的样子，自然熨帖，真心觉得比《驾驶我的车》里那种无甚卵用的互文和辗转反侧看起来要舒服得多。渔夫设定确实好，带着海风的气息和潮湿（包括患病），这些怪咖之感搭配点到即止的感情拉扯，再次印证了“不整事儿”的真诚。总之爱是幸运爱是奇迹值得被一再书写。
有些细节处理的不错 ，但是还是法版好看。好莱坞的原创力也越累越乏善可陈了。
不需要刻意煽情，也不需要特别同情，听障一家人依然过得非常好，爸妈开明有趣，哥哥也相当支持妹妹，我喜欢哥哥那句“让他们去摸索怎样和聋哑人相处”，即使我知道是碗浓鸡汤也愿意喝下去，因为实实在在被打动了。用手语唱出的Both Sides Now似乎更动听了，有时间把原版[贝利叶一家]也看一下~
只看10分钟就知好坏 突然让我想起了《歌舞青春》系列 美式青春浪漫爱情片 再加上有意思的现实题材和轻松好听的音乐 太符合年轻人口味了 看到母亲说的那句 交友软件大家都可以看 但音乐软件大家却不能一起听 一句话囊括了整个故事的大方向 今年看到的第二好片👍
1、这部电影是和老婆一起看的，好听，好看，感动满满，我们都哭了。
【4K】导演思维0，剪辑0，调度0，一部非常非常普通的改编电影，最后一场戏决定了这部影片仅为商业电影，不是艺术电影。（奥斯卡真没得看了）
剧情俗气到直让人怀疑是不是美国达人秀加长版幕后采访，歌也是那种耳朵听出茧的pop曲目，但是还是被校园音乐会那几分钟失聪静音的处理给感动到泪目了，一开始还以为是蓝牙耳机没电了。。。
静默的那一分多钟真的“煎熬”，大概是全片最震撼的地方，可是啊，有听障的人们却要忍受一辈子…
根据法国电影《贝利叶一家》的翻拍，美国导演夏安·海德非常成功的将原作嫁接入了美国的土壤，并且将这个关乎家庭、残障与梦想的故事，用有趣且充满细节的镜头，展现出了家庭亲情关系间朴实真挚的情愫，使《健听女孩》在润物细无声间带来了不逊于原作的感动。

在这么悲苦的底色下讲了个阳光乐观的故事，有点厉害。相比原版，这一部节奏畅快得多，女主也是人中龙凤级的美丽，原生家庭明明个个混球，导演却刻意回避了那些没心没肺的索取，是为了最后能凑个happy ending吗？一家人的转变不能说不合理，但实在感动不起来。属于一定得不到奥斯卡但又一定属于奥斯卡系的配菜，就酱。
真好，如果你静下心来进入角色用心去看这部片子，就如同父亲用手去感受女儿的歌声一样。
好看！！ 热评有一个说是佳片有约会播放的电影，怎么这么阴阳怪气呢？看个电影还看出优越感来了，可笑！ 什么时候这种简单叙事，工整的电影也被人诟病了？ 有那么多奇奇怪怪的电影，赶紧去看别的电影吧你！
温情治愈，感同身受。很团结很有爱的一家人，女孩的成长之路，爱与理想不冲突，加油吧，女孩。
现在看什么好莱坞电影都觉得太模式化了，我怕是有什么大病。全片看完就是一部很工整的美利坚主旋律电影，颁奖季少不了这种类型的。
聋哑家庭中唯一一个的健听女孩，这人设满讨巧，让人回想起那部老片《生命因你动听》。大部分时间都还蛮cliche的，但是手语之间的沟通，为本就沟通不畅的人际关系又更为丰富了一个层次。父母对小男友做手语那场笑死。
1.无声的戏让我窒息
一直即视感，后来才发现就是把贝利叶一家重拍了一遍，何必啊何必？
