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.
3.5星，为原帖加半星。在微博上吃的安利，看完了之后觉得原帖更简单更好磕一些哈哈哈大冰奶的梗我可以笑三天，湾湾人说话超可爱的！感觉女主李沐拍照更好看一些，动态有一点点囧囧的，但她的腿真的又直又瘦。周兴哲我刚开始一点都没get到，后面我真的觉得他好帅5555单眼皮腿又长声音很沉稳真的很想跟他谈恋爱（不是）后面才发现主题曲《想知道你在想什么》也是他唱的🆘剧里面大鹤跟张元硕告白那个情节我真的会笑死哈哈哈哈哈哈有些剧情很鬼扯但是不得不说湾湾真的很会拍这种校园小清新，我蛮喜欢的w
那个时候碰到喜欢的人会自卑会没有勇气会猜测会假意祝撮合她和别人会说服自己，会遗憾但是仍然有很美好的回忆啊
就是很轻松的青春片，虽然没什么亮点，但看下来还是很开心的，女主的吃相非常喜欢。
很平易近人的浪漫故事。荧幕上很久没见过这么没有JK味的JK了。
怎么没看都像一部烂片的名字啊，片名太随意了。大杂烩多元素混合到一起的刷锅水。
典型的韩寒片子 但是这次时长太长了 明显节奏把握不好 中间实在太拖沓 最后也没拍好 观影体验很差 如坐针毡
没有网上传的那么差吧。年少的喜欢总是是举重若轻 就想电影主题曲 喜欢和爱的区别 年少的我们不懂什么是爱 却是爱最浓烈 最恣意的时候 两个人想给对方一个惊喜 却付出了生命的代价 像麦琪的礼物一样。 欢颂梦想的房子就一门之隔 他们有房卡 却怎么都进不去 小城市的底层人在大城市想实现梦想 也是如此吧
好喜歡！好喜歡！好喜歡！有別於一般校園愛情故事的節奏，早餐非常有質感，故事娓娓道來，令人幸福感爆棚～
建议过年这种片子不要放到贺岁档，大过年的看这种片子压抑的要死，郁闷😒 看完整个人都不好了👎
“饭团🍙”“奶茶”“菠萝包”我也想吃清爽的饭团 溏心蛋…不过最后好感人…终于把自己的内心想法表达出来了…
好清新哦，主角们没有很好看，就像身边会发生的故事。
Only Fools Rush In，显然韩寒已不再是年少的他，针砭时弊的话语不以文字的方式满腔愤怒喷薄而出，取而代之的是埋藏这部电影里的暗线：留守的小镇青年，另有家庭的父亲，网贷时代的欠债，身份证代表的阶级，以及永远他们都不会打开的211大门。城市化的残酷无情，被迫离开家乡的人们，现实主义题材不会是这部电影的主题，叙事前后的割裂，只能以各种堆砌的段子和音乐烘托推动情节发展。唯一的女性角色虽然刻板僵硬，寥寥草草的台词里一句“那你和你妈对接去吧”，倒也彰显出女性主见的魅力。好在家乡仍然是可以做梦的地方，亦如我们脱下虚假的面具死去，回到肆意生长的最初。“梦里不知身是客，一晌贪欢”。
爱情线、兄弟线、亲情线、成长线，每条线都刻画得别扭又矫情，白瞎卡司了！电影看的生气，开年第一堵！
看到网上对四海的评价，不禁怀疑自己的审美是否也是格格不入。可我确能体会到韩寒的情怀，对山河，对故土，对放浪不羁人生的向往。故乡的云歌词里这样唱的“我曾经豪情万丈，回来却空空的行囊。”这种遗憾和惆怅感是我看了电影之后一直挥散不去的感情。孤独是人生的底色，阿耀的孤独，让我想起了自己在某个夏日的夜晚吹着空调散出来的冷风，想象着符合心中文艺调性的画面。我以前一直不能描述这种画面，电影却让我有如此似曾相识的感觉。四海这种自由的词语下，充满了无法按耐的梦想同时又有一种渺小感，而这些，我确实也在这部电影中感受到了。
4.刘浩存的演技在本片几乎为零，韩寒看上去也不会调教演员，一直让刘浩存用招牌但套路、模板的笑容。后来不笑了，又开始瘪嘴了…（懂了，刘浩存在电影里的定位就是工具人）
一份充满爱心的早餐，配上饭团之后有了微甜的滋味，它无法让每个人都满意，却捕捉到曾经历的青春滋味。真人真事改编，投射出了自己学生时代的青春记忆。
很意外
更适合暑期档 青春的阵容 略带忧伤的基调都不太像贺岁档的片子 韩寒年轻时残存的灵气写几个段子逗人开心绰绰有余 有几场城市流浪戏很能调动观影情绪 用人物遭遇的突发性困境逼迫人物成长可能是今后一段时间青春电影的主流 刘昊然真正意义的第一部大男主电影 成长很惊人 刘浩存眼里有星光
又是一部过了两个月我必然会忘记曾经看过这种片子的type。电影里唯一的高光就是饭团看着都挺好吃的（。
故事线太乱了，支离破碎，强行热血，刻意怀旧。刘浩存太尬了，挤出来的笑容和0分台词，看得我脑仁疼，跟刘昊然的感情线也是拉垮。唯一值得夸的就是运镜。总而言之，3颗星给韩寒吧。
