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.
格兰特真有副唱摇滚的好嗓子...删掉了最喜欢的两首歌，好在this was me也足够好听！从Hugo的录像带里有感受到戴安娜是真的one of a kind。
按照故事线来看不应该设置主演
A附身B，附身C，附身D，附身E，都是只为保护一个女人。
剧情有点跳脱但是总体还不错，打戏很多就是了！
不喜欢结尾人人都开心，就应该让傻逼老师和bully都角落里哭去，还有傻逼老爸🙄
故事设定还行，算是有趣，完成度也还可以。不过叙事的清晰度上差一些，故事略显凌乱，同时整体有些中规中矩，没有什么太亮眼的点
开头挺惊艳，越到后面越无力。整体太碎片化，一首首歌像MV串烧。作为电影，还是需要更多剧情衔接。想必舞台的效果一定不错吧，想看现场。
韩国编剧的脑洞开得很大啊！这设定很新奇，主角被注射新型毒品之后，每天0点灵魂在犯罪现场的几个人之中随意转换，目的都是为了救自己深爱的女友。人世间，爱很辛苦。但很值得……几个被换灵魂的配角演技都OK啊！开头只要讲清楚这个设定，没必要只拍主角的，这样反而显得很乱。这个设定完全可以拍得更好，期待有哪位导演翻拍，另外灵魂行者这个片名比灵魂脱离者更高大上吧？
整体剧情就是男主不断魂穿几个对手的身体，寻找自我记忆和身体的故事。前半段还挺刺激的，节奏也很紧凑。
12小时一次的魂穿设定不错，这拍法也解决脸盲的障碍，一开始悬疑感蛮好的，动作戏飙车去啥的还行，但是那么快就和女主表明这操作也是绝，中间部分就乏了，bug太多了，乞丐大叔倒是蛮出彩的。其实故事就是黑帮的故事
以为是个正派主角和反派boss斗智斗勇的故事，结果搞最后是个爱情片？如果选择不同配角来完全诠释主角应该会更出彩，搞面部切换真的是拉低了层次，不过也算更好地照顾到了受众面吧
3.5，比隔壁家DEH实在是好太多。首先是加了些与时俱进的细节，避免看出来是几年前的本子；然后得益于本来原版就比DEH有更多的编舞，所以场景化更戏剧但合理；几个演员的表演也是比较电影化的，所以整体看下来还算比较顺畅。
尹启相费这大劲就演了个警匪枪战版的内在美？！
有创意，就是坏蛋最后面把大佬，大佬的大佬，合作方大佬轻易就都干掉了，太扯
题材很好，只是剧情结构太轻易让人知道后面的发展，差那么一点意思。
Everybody wants to be themselves.
逻辑性还是差了点，失忆这块还是伯恩玩的好。
6.5。女主不错，但是花瓶。创意还行，但叙事还是韩国那种爱情戏。剧情借鉴了永无止境和其他一些磕药电影，但是灵魂转换这个比那些电影还扯。
剧情的设定是完全站不住脚的，实际上换一个起因会好的多。越来越觉得林智妍长的漂亮了。
前面极其精彩，最后反派突然降智，有枪不用，以至于十几个人被一人团灭。
