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.
身为漫威迷不错过任何一部漫威电影 尤其是我最喜欢的漫威女角色之一的旺达在电影里sha疯了太酷了 镜头也好多 故事都是围绕着她开展的 看完电影感觉博士的存在感有点弱了 我脑海里都是旺达的画面
最后洗白的时间，我突然在脑海中回顾了旺达的"一生"，我发现她真得好惨啊。
【YVR-5th】个人而言，是漫威宇宙最重要五部甚至前三部的电影。这种重要性体现在类型片的选择和表达上。当然了，超英片有的问题它都有（故事逻辑，战斗力混乱），该有的彩蛋也有（新的人物介绍，继续拓展宇宙边界），但不同于以往乖宝宝一样的导演执行，这次能看出Sam Raimi（毕竟大导演呀）的个人风格 鬼玩人。随着第一代演员的离去，越来越多对续集电影的排斥和对超英片大同小异的指责，这时候漫威能拿出一部这样的作品（当然，奇异博士不是它们的王牌），就算有试水的嫌疑，也是值得表扬的。而且wanda的支线和自己的电视剧连接紧密，大呼过瘾；而哪怕没看过WandaVision也不影响理解。支持
PS：貌似迪士尼要和中国翻脸了
😂同样是multiverse，处理的就比同期的everything everywhere at once浅，也更加套路一些
搞恐怖很有意思，毕竟太多的把戏都已经在动画等地方用过了，卷腹这张脸啊哈哈哈哈哈，眉毛也搞笑，就是主线差了点，不过超英电影别管这么多了，就当作是电影版的what if吧。
”I love you in every universe.”狠狠戳我
"I love you and I love you in every universe." damn😢
能够在电影院里看一部黑暗血腥恐怖的漫威片，太不容易了。人类自以为是的科技，超能力在魔法面前都是渣渣。红女巫，复联最强战力认证。
形式大于内容，从头打到尾就是说…看的略累……结局也是有点“就这❓”但多元宇宙的概念和构建非常好！有些画面非常惊艳…再加上本尼迪的出色表演，还是值四星的😍
猩红女巫致敬威尔史密斯:Love will make you do crazy things.
疯狂多元宇宙（❌）疯狂女巫妈妈（✓）
好看的！就是旺达现在太强了吧，一人秒杀光照会，对比下来主宇宙的复仇者联盟简直都是战五渣，后面的战力该怎么平衡下去呢
I love you in every universe
看完了枪版。剧情上感觉很完整，至少整个故事都讲好了，没有说啥很刻意的转变，这点好评（因为最近的漫威电影感觉故事都怪怪的），等正式片源出来了再二刷吧～
惊喜不少！卡特队长，黑蝠王，黑惊队等等…总体感觉就是太赶…其他不说…惊队居然被压死的…怎么可能…单挑灭霸的存在…感觉是为了时长随便安排她去死…听说改了又改…希望有导剪…
比想象中要好一点
好敷衍的剧情哦，，，其他宇宙的神奇先生卡特队长惊奇女士x教授的酱油也太齁嗓子了，，，，仿佛美剧搞笑篇，倒霉旺达又洗不白了，，一黑到底吖，还不如看漫威剧集带感

这不是奇异博士2是猩红女巫1，奇异博士在自己的独立电影里打了个大大的酱油战斗力不行不说最后的心理战还是靠的是阿麦丽卡的大招。好看是好看但是太tm惊悚了。X教授出场的时候简直沸腾了这是什么跨世纪梦幻联动！可惜转眼被旺达拧脖子总有种不孝女旺达弑母的感觉23333... 旺达演技大赞贡献了好多泪点～另外法师和法术攻击终于站起来了嘤嘤嘤！！！
