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.
大型mv电影，歌确实不错，画面质感精美，可以～
拘留室加警局的虐杀很棒！
开场美式《午夜凶铃》/《咒怨》然后滑入《电锯惊魂》和一点B级片再加上新版《阴风阵阵》动作设计，核心是《走近科学》。（但杀时间可以看）
不喜欢这种磨磨唧唧的歌！
恐怖电影风格，节奏不拖拉，各种jump scare，前面旺达使用梦游巫术的部分颇有一些邪典气质。奇异博士和美国小姐第一次穿过多元宇宙好像乱入了动漫里的场景，还有绯红女巫从镜子里扭曲着身体钻出来，性转的超级英雄团体光照会(被全灭了，除了莫度)等等，印象比较深。另一个宇宙的文明看起来还是那种旧制度+高科技的搭配，其中NPC面对一个明明已经死亡的奇异博士在活蹦乱跳还能进行调侃是不是不合我们这个宇宙的常理呢？另外关于恶魂、附身尸体等等设定可能是在电影之外有补充？
设定还是有惊吓到我的，可能我看恐怖惊悚类型不多，层层递进的解谜型惊悚观感很不错，就是有时候战斗力突然超自然性爆表的逻辑漏洞，让人有点出戏
典雅的古典交响乐团、躁动的摇滚乐队、冷酷的电子合成器悉数到场，配合得天衣无缝，更有碧梨小时候参加的唱诗班合唱团亲临助阵，碧梨的演唱也比以往更具叙事性也更有张力。总的来说是远超我的预期。
非删减观影，比《灵媒》好，至少视听和氛围够到位，但这部更像个悬疑犯罪片，惊到的地方都是些生理奇观，本片像是把《电锯惊魂》的变态虐杀和《招魂》的通灵附体糅合，并加以创新，剧情结构还是很温子仁的，只是灵异变变异，附体变双生，这个假人格分裂，配上尖刀杀人，几场戏有《惊魂记》的意思，缝合感太强，太割裂，风格不统一，高潮直接变动作片了......
6/10，多元宇宙讲述了什么故事，又是另一个宇宙的旺达想要自己的孩子，然后就不惜牺牲别人的生命企图复活自己的孩子的命，最后看到主宇宙的旺达和孩子其乐融融的氛围放弃了执念，等等，这不是电视剧旺达幻视的重复2.0吗？所以为啥叫奇异博士2？盘点下我不喜欢其他缺点:
没什么恐怖的，猎奇度倒是温子仁导演生涯的最高，尤其是不怎么难猜但视觉冲击极强的反转。录像带元素结合砍杀段落迸发出浓厚的复古B级片气息，致敬老派是今次的思路之一，血洗警局在上世纪欧美砍杀片中屡见不鲜，辅以温作品中一贯的亲情埋设，和花活依旧繁多的镜头运动，温子仁的确在努力推动新时期恐怖电影的多元发展，打造更多可能性，8/10。
确实有BUG但还算有理有据，恐怖倒也说不上多吓人，但好在没有靠着一惊一乍的jump scare故意搞人心态，靠悬念制造点惊悚效果还是不错的，靠老录相带揭露真相的那一段我太喜欢了。全程节奏在线，演员颜值在线，算是年内不错的恐怖片了。
更喜欢前面一半歌曲，后面似乎好几首显得有些口水了。乐团的形式很加分。
我以为是人物传记的纪录片，结果就是一张专辑的MV，而且还挺，无趣的。
温子仁新作.他们说艾米丽年轻的时候脑子有病-_-这句翻译怎么这么喜感?我觉的他们都是脑子有病,警探不呼叫增员独自抓悍匪,1个弹夹命中率0%..她妹独闯恶灵古堡.开始是遇鬼,然后是恶灵附身,双重人格.emm接下来就特么爽了,这好奇加惊悚直接上天.在女主开了挂的前提下,全体警员命中0%,伤害1,死亡率98%.最后就这么简单反客为主了?incredible.还以为她要自杀,她中了2枪还不死...除了开挂,是很棒的恐怖片了.特别是反转,惊悚+1分.... 9分吧

二专的歌真的很适合现场，看到最后没忍住的泪水流了下来。二专刚出开始听的时候，没什么感觉，但看完碧梨的现场 我真的get到了这张专的。不说了让我再看一遍
本来以为温子仁的电影会很恐怖，做了心里建设，特地放到白天看，结果……期望过高，一点都不吓人，少有的一些悬疑感，也在看到一半的时候就基本明了。
在家里用投影仪看恐怖片的好处就是声音没那么大，jump scare没那么吓人，但绝大部分体验也都还在，感觉很好！看了下阉割版的介绍，要吐了，恐怖的镜头都删掉那还能叫啥恐怖片？
温导，快别尝试新的东西了，求“炒冷饭”拍个鬼片吧！
失控的寄生兽。悬念不强，女囚那段戏挺百老汇风格的，有种打着打着就会唱起来的错觉。拍摄水平很高，剧本普通，妹妹算是人设小亮点，和警察聊灵媒太可爱啦！姐姐最后上法庭会怎么判啊，感觉能扯皮好几年呢，有罪无罪会吵起来的。（完整版1：51：33）
