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.
一如既往Aaron Sokins 风格的作品， 用词精挑细选 逻辑繁复严谨(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) 哈维尔讲话时观者脑海里闪现的是杰夫 丹尼尔同学的身影。。。。。＿φ(￣ー￣ ) 但是然鹅可是。。。。。本作不是艾伦最最最擅长以当代背景媒体对社会深刻反思的主题，这次挑的是上世纪好莱坞黄金时代虚构喜剧秀男女主角戏里戏外悲欢离合 起起伏伏 女主自强不息（好像也不完全是 。。。。ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(;￣◇￣)┘）妮可基德曼扮演的是喜剧秀里美丽聪明的女主人公
我觉得还是酷的，室内戏调度打光非常希区柯克，尤其是结尾暗室戏非常非常《后窗》，zoe真的是印象中的cool girl，这个造型和角色完全量身定做，再拍十部我也能看哈哈哈哈
叙事稍微有些流水账，但是剧情绝对是经得起推敲的。
妮可基德曼大概是复制不了(前)竞争对手芮妮的盛势了。这路角色她已经演过很多了。再加上今年有打击命题作文的趋势，估计提名都悬啊。
虽然厌恶社交碎片侵占屏幕的影像语法，但KIMI不可思议地以紧凑精炼的类型框架将新冠时代科技惊悚流派与超级英雄悬念技巧结合。短小篇幅热点议题也和流媒平台配合默契。门缝和隔窗窥伺正如信息流无孔不入，割喉刀刃反面即是自卫钉枪。远程交流互相隔离的沟通和日渐蔓延的群体焦虑在疫情之中得到天然掩体，现代社会真正的流行病。预知情节熟稔于心，幽闭视角聚焦特写面部表演，摄像诡计最大限度操纵氛围，家庭空间有序舒适和室外天地混乱危险相形构成难以名状的恐怖。数据罪证可以一键清除，杀人灭口却劳神费心，监视者自造的绳索也会成为结果他们的圈套。光明结尾似是呼吁虚拟数字世界真实依托还在，摘下口罩更换发色，自由肉身仍和数据海洋共生共存。作品本身就像恐慌发作的物理浮木，正义得偿一刻清除了体内交叠的疮疤枷锁，线上线下暂时相安无事。
索德伯格这是被德帕尔玛附身了？媒介游戏玩得出神入化，又是《后窗》又是《凶线》——后新冠时代的『媒介幽灵电影』很当代，很时髦。整个美术设计、数字摄影质感可圈可点。女主造型也蛮潮，有经典潜力。🦊#近期喜欢的电影
叙事稍微有些流水账，但是剧情绝对是经得起推敲的。
理想主义的女人和他擅长危机公关的老公鸡糟的一周 就挺无聊的
本届奥奖片最丰满的女性角色，完全为女主征服。妮可的脸上能不能不要贴东西了。
3.5 剧本和演员的状态都很到位 后半程也能感受到女主散发的坚韧与力量 可惜拍得有点乏了
Lucy just wanna move on, and she did it.
最佳女主角妮可，閃回想起了「時時刻刻」，重新解構歷史有意義嗎，當然！誰掌握了過去就掌握了未來！
索德伯格的新题材尝试，我感觉有点像“后窗”+“网络迷踪”的混合风格。女主身材棒！是一部还不错的惊悚片。
其实看到后面觉得还可以，当然相信多数人撑不过前面的剧情。
终究是美国人的一段历史，就跟我们说射雕英雄传一样，美国人也会觉得无感。
耳目无限放大的数位时代后窗+凶线，索德伯格能玩
最后她选择在剧中装傻，但现实中还是骗不了自己。
剧中以曾经的一部热播肥皂剧回顾并讲述好莱坞的一个历史断面，讲述一个人戏里戏外人生的选择。不喜欢
作为上世纪就出道的60后导演，却有股年轻导演的冲劲。索德伯格属于少数的既能保持别具一格的作风，还能不断尝试自己喜欢的想法。这回是希区柯克穿越到现在拍了一部《新后窗》。★★★☆/7.4
看得好累，尤其是各种闪回片段。女主对艺术创作锱铢必较，却不愿接受丈夫出轨，等到最后一幕终于选择放下，便在表演里也放弃了自己的坚持，看得我仿佛吞下一口屎。完全不了解人物原型，前期我一直以为一周内发生的大事是直播怀孕对职业甚至人生造成不可逆转的影响。
