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.
原来他们那也有JC任意拘捕屈打成招的恶性事件，然而电影并没有拍成一部一般意义的爽片，弱者并没有使用简单的暴力去反抗，相反，他们选择了最难的法律武器去维权，幸运的是法律最终真的保护了他们——“贱民”们，或许这就是法治最大的魅力吧。
很不错！是青春啊！番长好帅( ⁼̴̀ .̫ ⁼̴́ )✧
伸张正义才是正能量，掖着不让说不让拍不是。
印度低种姓这种按照种族划分人群的制度至今依旧存在，影响是根深蒂固的，极其负面。影片基于这样一个背景，揭露这种体制下种种不公正待遇。一个抓蛇人含冤入狱被殴打致死，正义的律师克服万难，冤情才得以洗刷。但凡有关人权的议题，都与我们无关，一个在我们这无从展开的话题，就连探讨别人影片的内容都成了禁忌。递刀子这事肯定不能干，别人拿着刀子自己捅自己，我们驻足观看都不行——这就是现行审查制度铁一样的逻辑所在。与后来的《宿敌》立意接近，关照现实，意义深远。就表达方式和技巧而言是陈旧的、甚至是落后的。
7.5分。印度版本的《辩护人》，这个评价还是挺高的。故事本身拍得并不是太精彩，舞台感很强，但一想到这竟然是真实事件改编，就感觉背上发凉。说到底印度的种姓制度至今还在影响着印度的社会，这种顽疾何时能够清除，现在还看不到尽头。。。
地狱空荡荡，魔鬼在人间。不是每一次的伸张正义我们都要当史诗一样去歌颂，但是每一次以个体对抗体制的勇气都会让我们感觉心潮澎湃，用良心去追案，用良心去拍电影，也许人间还值得！
电影情节的流畅度让我感觉理所当然，律师的伟光正让他疾步如风，警察坏得肆无忌惮、蠢得直截了当，但在看到底层人民遭受到如此暴力与不公后，在逐渐积蓄的愤怒和不停泛滥的同情以及嫉恶如仇的正义感等强情绪的推动下，我的心告诉我这是一部很精彩的电影。

铁肩担道义，为弱鸣不平。正值某地案件天天上热搜期间看这片，提醒自己这个崩塌中的世界还有普世价值
卖惨片，依旧对印片反感，平面化人物，特色是坏人必暴力，但大家都诚实，多好的法治环境，然后硬插入特色歌曲（这次没舞蹈），不知所谓。
除了這部，印度的電影院還出現了同志片，這就是差距。
很多人都在马拉松那段看哭，确实很热血，说出了不少人的心声。
主线部分的剧情有些扯，竟然是为了爱情，但结尾还是燃啊，那些话真是句句戳心，你们可知道等你们长大后会越来越疏远。
反精英，鸡娃的悲哀，当中的推理过程让人感到惊喜，相当精彩的基本演绎法，风间作为这个制度与思想的牺牲品真的好可悲，代表着的依然是现今许许多多这样的人，同时又毁掉了多少正常且充满能量的人，这个让人窒息的世界永无休止的继续着，无意义的事才是最重要的，当被一味的追求吞噬，最后才会落得一无是处，所以青春是恋爱，是孤独，是自卑感，是闪闪发光，是后悔，是人情道义，是狂欢，是曾经有过，是当下，是Fire！！春日部防卫队Fire！！
鸡蛋终究会孵化，越过石头。
3.5
难看！难看！难看！
印度版《辩护人》，案子很简单，不如《辩护人》有那么重大的本国历史事件作为背景显得那么宏大，但是对于印度千年来的“以种族姓氏来区分阶级”的制度来说，电影中的案件已经可以代表印度的大事件了，拍摄可以，表演还能更好，剧本还可以再自然一些。3星。
主角必须毫无污点么
好电影 女演员演挺好的 但是什么时候能把中插MV给去掉啊
