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.
被名字和画面吸引进来，故事蛮喜欢的，故事脉络要是更清晰一些就好了，人物线条也可以更连贯一些。很多镜头特别美（例如天台谈心那里，两个演员依偎在一起，情感交流镜头在长一些就好了，看的时候感觉刚进入情绪，镜头就以正反打结束了，就觉得我的情绪都断了）但有些镜头都没什么内容，有点无聊，以及枪战追逐戏好像和本片无甚关系，感觉有些冗余。
好看，最近看过的电影类最佳。
怎么 怎么说呢 能看得出来努力文艺的痕迹但用力过猛就会让人觉得很无聊 结尾的反转还可以 但是剧情的人物关系很牵强 两天前看的到现在都不记得具体发生了什么
这个名字的字体设计很喜欢！是不是在暗示什么。居然是根据真实改编，那就没有暗示了。。节奏有点儿慢，摄影好像行，也不是摄影，几个空镜很不错。超现实探案，一个画像直接把最难的地方不用写了，这种设定都是设定了也不好说啥。。略傻逼的角色好写，但是难看啊。为什么要写模版式的角色。说的就是那个警察。整个剧本好像还挺可以的，最后能成闭环。还能模糊化，让人遐想，谁是谁，谁死了。色调不错，暗黄暗黄的。
调色我实在太喜欢了，片子也挺好的，两个小反转，林音那个演员找得挺好，主要是气质很好，其它姑娘也挺好看，是跳舞出来的那种气质好看
光影色彩和服化道打造出的年代感十足，芦苇荡练习和最后的舞台独舞拍得很美，几场空境也如倪云林的水墨一般诗意。BUG的确不少，还有许多尬味说教台词，但瑕不掩瑜，你把它当文艺片而不是悬疑片看，也许会更容易入戏些。
（画面真的很好看）
导演审美很高，风景和光影拍出了中国水墨话风格。
文艺悬疑 日记本念出来的时候就猜出来大概了 一般般吧
就像短评区一个网友说的一样，喜欢这种娓娓道来的感觉。 其实刚开始有点看不下去，因为国产烂片太多，特别是网络电影，所以不敢抱什么希望。刚开始觉得节奏很慢是有点觉得无聊的。然后在画师开始调查线索开始就看进去了。不过林音和严华身份互掉这个结局早就想到了。虽然很多地方都经不起推敲，但两位女主的友谊挺打动人地。 希望这位导演以后出更多好作品。
年代感还原的很不错，除了女演员的下巴。悬念还可以再复杂一些，节奏还能再快，整部电影完成度好，导演还算比较诚恳。
感觉电影想告诉你什么，可是并没告诉我什么；电影的整个色调想反映什么，可是我也没反应过来到底是什么。比普通大电影还是好点的。
文艺大于悬疑，很值得细细回味的片子，bgm也很好。很难想象这是一部网大？
旧日记讲述过往，警察画师抽丝剥茧。好姐妹意外殒命，芭蕾演员借尸还魂。摄影优秀、色调怀旧，粗线条推理之下揭示特定时代的人生惨像。剧情演进恰如片名充满文艺气息，远山如梦，淡影似幻，山影交融，亦真亦缈。
怎么 怎么说呢 能看得出来努力文艺的痕迹但用力过猛就会让人觉得很无聊 结尾的反转还可以 但是剧情的人物关系很牵强 两天前看的到现在都不记得具体发生了什么
与其归类到悬疑片，更像一部文艺片。案件本身并不算复杂，但是观看的过程中经常被忧郁的画面和悲凉的台词转移注意力。人生无奈别离何，一明一暗两位女主，映照着一强一弱两位男主，生命的交替，命运的轮回，故事总是重复地在上演着。
超出预期的一部。女孩子之间的相互救赎永远能打动我，有一条弹幕说“林音是严华自卑人生中的美梦一场”，于是她决定放弃自己的人生，延续她的生命。最后一场舞，她们两个一起跳完。
三星半吧，氛围营造的很好，南方的隐喻和潮湿看的我风湿都要犯了。推理逻辑基本在线，日本有个推理小说《绝叫》，本片结局与其相似。整体来说不错~
中国版杀人回忆+悬疑版芳华+盗用片名的远山淡影
剧情、立意、画面都值得学习，如果毕业作品能拍出来这个效果就太绝了
