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.
最终的最终章，回到了剑心何以成为剑心的本质上。是为了崇高的理念、新时代的建立而仗剑杀人，还是脚踏实地去珍惜身边最微细的幸福。在时代的洪流中，没有绝对的正义，选择了一种理念，就只能自欺欺人地坚持下去。革命无不流血，这些血到底该不该流。“剑是凶器，剑术是杀人的伎俩，无论用多美丽的借口掩饰，这始终是事实。”一纵一横两道刀疤，那就是正义的原罪。
原作得是初中时候看的了，真人电影也算是圆满结束，这部比人诛篇明显剧情充实多了，但村花实在不是我心中雪代巴的样子……
天呐，雪代巴所背负的情感也太沉重了吧(TOT)
《人誅篇》帶給我的失望，《追憶篇》都補償回來了，相較於前者失控的群戲和剪輯，這一部專注於塑造劍心和巴，即便女間諜愛上仇人的戲碼不新鮮了，也拍得能夠讓人忘記薰才是劍心的最後歸宿，再加上對新舊交替亂世的刻畫和乾淨利落的動作戲呈現，明明是真正意義上的系列開篇卻異常悲壯，為系列畫下了一個完美的句號。無論《人誅篇》怎麼拖系列後腿，《浪客劍心》五部曲都是日本真人漫改的巔峰，而且目前看來連潛在的挑戰者都沒有。
2021.02.19 黄金周再会。// 2021.12.07 w/达西先生 猫也看得很认真。
平庸至极
如此唯美柔和的剧情片，刀光在白雪与鲜血中交错辉映，雪代巴的匕首不轻不重地划到剑心的脸上，这样的场景实在太过凄美了，只能说在乱世之中，哪怕是剑术高超的剑心都无力保住小小的幸福，更何况是千千万万的普通人呢？
十年生死两茫茫，不思量，自难忘。
解释了刀疤的由来，第一刀是女主的未婚夫砍的，剑心和女主归隐田园，女主其实是卧底，杀剑心途中，剑心听力和视力暂时丧失，误杀了互相相爱的女主，女主也划上一天刀痕
果然是之前看过的，又害我看了一遍，雪景yyds，巴——————————！
圆满了 追到这里 总觉得村花气质不够冷啊 可能我被OVA洗脑
剧情上的细节改动让故事更紧凑连贯,且逻辑合理化.但却也让片子的味道彻底变了.原作党可以理解,但无法接受.尤其是不能接受对桂小五郎角色的改变.
剑心最悲伤故事。这部从前几作的15+变成18+，打斗少了，但是文戏部分差点看哭😢
之前知道是什么故事了，觉得很拖沓拧巴，剑心，巴都是这样，束手束脚一点不干脆，剑心之前应该是个杀伐果断的人，有了十字疤后开始蜕变，没想到片子里呈现的依然优柔寡断，而且面瘫寡言
没啥意思，属于前传。目前该系列我觉着最好看的还是第一部！
剧情紧凑，格局很大，打斗招招见血，出血量让人惊叹。拔刀斋（佐藤健）牛批！
以始作终，打斗画面犀利、不含糊，尤其开头屋内那段刺杀更是远超前面几作。画面精美，和雪代巴的感情更是描绘得细腻到位，也为后面拔刀斋的经历铺垫了情感基础。可谓是最优秀的前传，或是终传 @Netflix
2、限于电影篇幅，对于女主角移情别恋的铺垫还是有点不够吧。
在漫画里就被誉为剧情天花板的追忆篇，真人版也没有让人失望啊。虽然打斗没有前几部多，但出血量多啊。更为关键的是，将源头的故事作为最终章，反而深化了故事内核，无愧于片名的the beginning
年轻的剑心和巴。孤独人冷沏心扉却刻骨的爱，在终于触到温度时结束了所有，都是为了维护孤独患者天生的尽忠之心和孤煞之傲。先看这部深情深刻的爱情故事，再看最终篇的低剧情爆打是正确姿势。我看反了。
