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.

把Officer Johny换成 Officer Pal. 是不是就凑成美剧四大路人角色——Guy Buddy Dude Pal 了
好莱坞制式。属于那种，如果我没花钱，看的盗版资源，看完后会觉得有些浪费时间，的电影。
往大铁球上跳的时候，BGM一响，真的戳我笑点了。
3星半，想法很好，铺垫不错，奈何高潮落入俗套，结尾沦为平庸。盖和米莉怎么就不能真的相爱呢？盖怎么就不能率领一众NPC反杀现实呢？米莉和键盘的世界怎么就不能是另一个游戏呢？
还是那个味道，全片亮点都在片尾马东锡暴打恶人的场景，前面全是铺垫，不像敏捷性的动作演员，马东锡全靠力量，绝对的力量压制。不过都2022年了，韩国警察不仅没枪，连把刀也没有，全靠肉体去抓凶匪- -
冲着NPC爆笑版《黑客帝国》以及小贱贱主演的期待去看还是蛮低于预期的，尤其前些年有那么多近似的佳作在前，《头号玩家》《乐高大电影》《无敌破坏王》…是的，一部都比不上，观感跟导演的《博物馆奇妙夜》类似，创意很期待，成片不咋地。应该让演反派的那位来导这部片啊
《楚门的世界》+《明日边缘》+《头号玩家》+《勇敢者游戏》，太多好莱坞的残影，太多陈词滥调的主题和情节，却足以在疫情时代的电影院撞出情感的暖流。它完成的仍是对观众而非游戏玩家的指涉：电影院是自由城，冲破海滩的银幕就能抵达极乐净土；尽管每天/每部都在单调的循环之中，但商业片们确是陪伴影迷多年的老友。塔伊加·维迪提饰演的反派越是刻板，越成为好莱坞的某种自嘲；NPC的自我意识也不光是对人工智能的展望，更是对诸多经典银幕形象的生命力的礼赞。于是，老套暂时变作了老派，容我在美队盾牌出现的时刻献上惊呼。
比头号玩家那种堆砌元素的电影内涵，也有趣多了
拳拳到肉的爽片，从越南打到韩国，还有最后的公交车大战。
唉，韩国连战狼都拍得这么好看，真是令人羡慕。
乐高电影换皮，nice guy 果然到最后也只能是nice guy啊……
其实人类才是困在现实的游戏里，游戏里的人才是进入了真实的世界。超越预期，剧本很棒。死侍让我无限闪回楚门里巅峰的金凯瑞，情感戏和内心戏好细腻，酷到炸甜进肺管子，几次反转全转在我的审美点和情绪点上。Guy被强吻回档那里，画面瞬间爆发霓虹的存档，真是浑身鸡皮疙瘩。

拉倒吧，拍到日本人的片段就是西装革履在干净的街道上，拍到中国人就是在拥挤阴暗的中餐厅，下一个镜头切到印度也是一堆人在脏乱差的环境。问号脸，美式的永远看不起人的刻板印象式幽默
当然，被达斯米奇收购的福斯，在高潮还是忍不住秀了一把版权肌肉，漫威和星战一拿出来，瞬间嗨翻全场。
我看过最可笑的爱情片。唯一有趣的是第三幕21世纪和迪士尼的联动彩蛋和CE。 游戏要怎么做出电影感，斯皮尔伯格早就给出了完美的答卷。除了廉价的流行文化元素堆叠和老套到极点的故事模版空无一物。如果让小变态和RR就这么来一段可爱的柏拉图式的罗曼蒂克或者扯淡点把RR拉到现实里都还算过得去，结果来了个脑残到极点的反转。 片名Free Guy就是个笑话，他的dream就是个笑话。本质上是对影像，角色，游戏，代码最不尊重的行为。处处强调AI生命的鲜活力，但人和代码终究是不一样啊。怪奇物语里的小哥一辈子都不可能变Ryan Reynolds！RR他表演并赋予情感的整个角色从来不曾有任何意义。Guy不仅不是真人，就连代码都是别人向他的梦中情人表白的工具。俩小时感情全tm浪费了
虽然设定不算新鲜了（楚门真是滋养了一大批影视剧项目），但好久好久没在电影院看到开心轻松且感动的爆米花片了。kiss出代码、致敬梗乱入（福斯有迪士尼靠山了真香），还有最后头号玩家那一下子把我看到飙泪，码农的浪漫真的太可爱了。我小时候经常胡思乱想，会不会很多人都是一个宇宙级程序里的NPC？玩动森时也会对小动物们真情实感。我们现在每天的生活，又何尝不是NPC呢。有成熟AI技术的NPC早晚都会实现吧，期待那一天。
PS2：马东锡就应该跟着范迪塞尔加入飙车FAMILY，正好巨石强森闹不和了队伍里缺个肌肉
