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.
比《毒液2》好这么一点点，就像是一个和《毒液1》一样无聊并且还去掉类型爽点的片子。情节上陈词滥调就不说了，一个吸血鬼题材的电影，非常缺乏B级趣味，视觉呈现也非常乏味，而且杰瑞德·莱托的表演极其糟糕，索尼是真的又浪费了一次机会。
👍 还不错啊！画面赛博朋克，兄弟阋墙的剧情也表现的很好。豆瓣5.7分偏低了，比今年那个圣母婊蜘蛛侠好太多！（啊另外，求你们好好拍一部独立系列吧。别再搞宇宙联动了！！！）
设定蛮抓马的，不过莫比亚斯比较符合我个人趣味，电影美术也蛮好，特别是召唤真蝙蝠这个技能，复古且神秘，超英里面独一份儿。这个角色只要能克服没用的道德约束就能好看很多，越早打破人性的枷锁越好，因为他实际上已经不是人类了。况且我现在觉得最没用的就是人类创造的所谓“伦理”，教条只能约束好人，好人除了因此受罪，没有任何其他用途。
纯纯无脑爆米花电影，所有角色几乎没有什么情感铺垫。还有经典俗烂剧情：主角兄弟获得能力后就会变坏...
剪辑好 节奏好 1小时44分钟毫无废话 是气质干净的电影 nice one漫威 只不过两个彩蛋的第一个着实没必要
故事主体情节老套，好像我在没上学的时候就看过，尤其是女主用自己的生命献了第一次也是最后一次血这个桥段。不过想不起来电影的名字了。
作为起源来说还成吧，类似于金刚狼起源电影的设定，情同手足的兄弟获得差不多的能力，但志向不同走到对立面。
The line between hero and villain will be broken.
还真的像网友所说，降低了期待值后发现的确没那么糟糕，剧情土的像多少年前的B级片，特效勉强能看，主角和反派的关系真有点像金刚狼兄弟俩当年，然后主角到底是蝙蝠侠还是德古拉伯爵？造型是真的丑，本来一帅哥最后只能在黑夜里活动了。当然最主要的是这是索尼蜘蛛侠宇宙的一部分，但目前两部毒液，一部暗夜博士，愣是不知道蜘蛛侠是哪个版本的，网友猜测托比虫的可能更大，然后托比和毒液大战险恶六人组，当然最后只能看索尼怎么在彩蛋中继续主线剧情了。女主挺好，变成了德古拉二代。漫威宇宙目前的剧情不明，而索尼宇宙还能扶上墙吗？
作为索尼和漫威联合推出的超影电影，获得资源并不多，特效中规中矩，剧本乏善可陈，及格吧。
什么玩意儿... ...这年头只要和mcu有点关系就没能看的片子了吧？
剪辑不行，配乐不行，故事不行，演技不行，彩蛋不行！你告诉我这是今年的新片，就这质量，蜘蛛宇宙又泡汤了！
看得一边困得想吐，一边问这段是想表达什么。超英都能拍得这么无聊。
主角是一个腿脚有残疾的人，刚学会走路的当晚就直接从轮船跳到公海里。啥时候学的游泳？反派Milo的转变来的猝不及防，前几分钟还是生死之交的好哥们，转眼就莫名其妙的坏到骨子里。可能长了反派脸的家伙都这样吧。主角说好了也要自尽的，可是后来不知怎么的就忘了这回事了。咬别人都致命，咬女主角就能复活，还能传输超能力，这又是几个意思？动作场面约等于无，最后决战不是看不清，就是召唤一群蝙蝠就糊弄过去了。怪不得票房扑街。不过男主角都50多岁了，还保养得跟90后女主角一样嫩，加一星！
估计有最初的一版剧情，希望也能有个导演剪辑版。
观感还可以。。。前半段的打斗和超声波可视化都做得OK，比最近好几部漫威片子都好看一点
打斗搞了个龙珠动画式，以为很有创意吗
(这算是……漫威蝙蝠侠？)
风格上没有那么多插科打诨影响节奏的成分
索尼用行动表示有多么迫切撺一个邪恶六人组的局出来😅
