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.
谍战戏份潦草粗糙，没线索没来由；人物形象更是扁平无趣，比如周也饰演的医生，就是对剧情毫无推进、没有必要出现的角色。除了雪地、列车的氛围烘托尚可，三星为了纪念铁道游击队
开场拿腔拿调、遮遮掩掩，进了真刀真枪的主线就彻底露怯，剧作内里是千疮百孔，动作场面全无行动逻辑，个别人物甚至中途从天而降，邪魅的反派也是外强中干。明显是华谊兄弟在《八佰》之后表忠心的电影，毕竟战前动员戏直接拍了入D誓词；可是要这么整，还真不如丁晟放飞自我的那部《铁道飞虎》，全程摆烂搞欢乐喜剧人竞演，也不失为一种失心疯的主旋律风格。
拧巴的片子，导演放了姜文讽刺的梗。谁？我。还有几处也像，但片子能力密度实在太低了，但也比丁晟的好。
摄影构图都很有电影感，漫天的大雪给残酷现实带来一丝浪漫，范伟的故事线略显张力，张涵予故事线拖沓没什么新意。动作场面混乱，缺一个动作指导。大雪从头下到尾，真是这辈子见过最能下的雪，下着下着，从浪漫变成了单调和离谱。
前半部小黄片，后半部恐怖惊悚片，算是符合各种口味。就是剧情有点无脑，冲着女主演们的颜值得给三星
剧情比我想象的还要悲情。影片的色调偏冷，与故事背景的冷肃相辅相成。此外，动作的戏份较少。比较有看点的是范师傅演技的丰富。
20220219 剧情太拖啦，范伟都救不回来了，画面还算不错，不多的亮点！
成龙版喧闹，范伟版沉闷，都不如旧版。
非常适合CCTV6，开场很多镜头都是大近景，特写车轮、背影、脚、手的镜头特别多，直到8分半才出现范伟老师的脸，这是什么新的拍摄手法……故事其实不复杂，用硬字幕来加强故事的真实性，谍战、动作、战争元素混合，文戏比重大，且对主线剧情都不痛不痒，所以节奏就感觉很慢，动作战争戏也不够精彩，使基调更倾向于谍战片。张涵予已经成了固定角色的演员，范伟老师演技精湛，如果没有范老师只值一星，不过本片对日本人的刻画没有妖魔化，思想态度和与中国人的关系上把握的都恰当。就是大反派的设定太商业，能文能武且话多。有两个地方不吐槽心里不舒服，晚上穿白披风在雪里也就算了，靠近车了还不脱，是怕敌人瞄不准吗？还是“英雄”必须要有披风？张涵予把炸药绑在腰上就很迷，身上中几枪就不怕打中炸药？这炸药也很迷，几根手榴弹威力像核弹。
成龙版喧闹，范伟版沉闷，都不如旧版。
真的很难看，红色教育抛开不说，单从电影的角度来说，真的不及格。故事不连贯，人物多余，为了说教而说教。
太过普通，但还是会落泪，最好看的还是范伟。
略显失望，故事本来有个很好的根基在，可惜导演水平不够，所有的事情都做得太行货，太平庸，前面觉得某些氛围的营造还是可以的，到总体节奏失衡，单有氛围就容易故弄玄虚，观众对这样的故事已经很熟悉，而剧本的处理还一直顺拐，所有情节都做得理所当然毫无悬念，演员阵容不错，两位主演也很卖力，可惜缺少细节，导致人物塑造留于表面，很难引起观众的共鸣，而且最让我出戏的是高潮戏有些连动作都不接，明显缺了镜头吧。7
基于鲁南“铁道队”的真人真事，很本格的主旋律电影。看得出主创反“抗日神剧”之道而行的努力，展现了地下斗争的残酷。在美术、服装和道具方面认真还原时代背景，人物也个个立得住，除了非要“当面会会对手”的日本满铁军官，这算是抗日电影的俗套了，反映出那场战争给中国男人带来的持久的男性气质焦虑。主要问题还是叙事和节奏方面的，花了很大力气铺垫正邪双方的出场，斗法过程却并没有出彩，让人觉得冗长拖沓。范伟点头哈腰的“tomotachi”，让人想起他在《南京南京》中的角色，仿佛穿越过来为女儿报仇来了。
以下内容很主观，我想到哪说到哪—— 剧情不刺激，喜欢看血腥片的肯定不喜欢，甚至觉得过于平淡不出彩。 我觉得某些东西蛮有趣的：转场，音乐（金发妹唱的那首我还挺喜欢的），视角。洗澡的那位男演员，镜头俯视；逐渐步入正片，一轮圆月下远望一座孤独的小屋（要die了）；血色氛围中跳舞的老妪。 女演员都挺好看~电影前半段都在讨论某些东西（浅显的），后半段是“正片”。 老年人战斗力这么强吗？但因为恐怖片主角们都要分散才能推动剧情so…… 性能让人心理扭曲吗？有点牵强（恐怖片嘛我实在不能要求它逻辑自洽）。 老年状至于化成这样吗？我以为我在看致命弯道或者德州电锯什么的。可以打破这种模式吗？这种乱糟糟头发的老变态我看腻了。 叙事首尾相连，像讲故事。最后一幕，警长说“这大概是tmd恐怖片吧”，哈哈哈哈哈哈。
挺幼稚的。其实看此片之前并不知道A24是个啥。
扑空的鳄鱼 扎进脖颈的利刃 一枪射中胸膛 车轮倾轧的头颅 血腥倒也还好 主要是节奏有点太慢了｜启示1 要做就抓紧时间做 等到做疲乏了也就没什么向往了 不然念念不忘 心有余而力不足 会很惨 启示2 如果别人硬要和你做 你就做吧 不然容易死掉
一开始是被营销号骗了的。全片看下来就差找《农夫的女儿》正片看了。一开始在色色之余惊悚氛围其实也还好，只是色色完了开始杀杀杀模式的时候突然发现就这？然后就一脸问号了。
类似题材虽不少，但每一部作品都是让人铭记历史，一次次前仆后继不怕牺牲为抗日付出宝贵生命的无名英雄们默哀和致敬！
摄影和剪辑让人眼前一亮，就是故事欠打磨到最后草草收场，有点可惜
