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.
如无意外应该是Ruben Fleischer最高作？
改编自索尼的同名游戏，寻宝探险永远是吸引人的主题。
其实倒也还好 有点赶进度交待往事 捏脸太诡异了 还有东方月初请把衣服穿好
剪辑略崩 挺娱乐的 荷兰弟走打星路线有望 / 马克沃尔伯格的片酬真好挣 全程几乎无高质量的动作戏..
这是月红剧情的补充，画风变了，因为是外包的日本公司
三分之二才看到海，神秘在哪儿？这类型冒险寻宝片上次看的还是瑞安雷诺兹的《红色通缉令》，同质化严重，彩蛋也雷同。
It's hard to find a good partner in this game.
电影结束的苏苏。。我眼泪狂飙，感觉一下子到了平行时空，转世续缘一定好好的TAT
了金子省我所有人
荷兰弟坠落。最爱看这种惊心动魄的冒险寻宝片了！荷兰弟完全与Nathan Drake纯爷们的外形和气质不符。荷兰弟演动作片怎么一股挥之不去的“小蜘蛛”感？？！一开场的日常戏还以为在演《蜘蛛侠》……连女搭档后来的发型都好像赞达亚。模仿成龙影片的光管之战分外吸睛，后半段核心的“神秘海域”剧情反而落入俗套，文武戏乏善可陈，更像是《加勒比海盗》。难得两位女主都比两位男主抢眼，大花臂黑人妹子魅力夺目。Drake兄弟两位小演员太养眼可口了！！！由始至终竟都没出现哥哥的正面着实气人，拉丁美男班德拉斯大叔中途退场更是气人！PS：映前有PlayStation宣传片，还有赞达亚的Burberry广告，哈哈哈故意的么！
（5.0/10）又回到了游改电影普遍难看的那条老路上了。在电影这门艺术里，真正吸引人的东西是“人”而不是那一道道关卡。
对于观片量少的观众来说这部影片真的是很爽，很大制作，大场面了。夺宝题材一直是我的心头爱，但随着时代的发展，天外地下都已经被科学揭秘的差不多了，世界对于人来说不再是一个充满未知的领域，所以在地球探险多少有些尴尬。相比之下，像《头号玩家》和《失控玩家》那样，在一个全新的未知虚拟世界探险，还相比更让人信服。影片最让我兴奋的点在于SONY和PlayStation的片头，太难得了！冲这个，我想看续集，我也愿意支持主机游戏改编的电影。
CGI 部分有点好笑，但是空中撞船什么的还是比较新鲜的桥段。荷兰弟赶紧长个吧，胸肌什么的已经可以了
5.5，跟去年的丛林奇航差不多，平平庸庸，无功无过，只能说夺宝冒险片套路就那么些，上限确实是太低了
腾讯，爬
观感像美国版《古董局中局》，而且观众年龄层还要低，真的是和游戏一样架空，完全是漂着的，想到哪儿就是哪儿。三个顶级男演员只有荷兰弟算全心投入吧？这片子最大的好处就是不搞角色身份的政治正确，算是颇有古风吧（连逻辑不通也像老电影）。
中规中矩质量及格的爆米花片，动作场面不错，解谜寻宝太小儿科，拍得没啥新意也没啥野心，有点浪费了这个游戏大ip
Holland合格了，Wahlberg just being Wahlberg。但，我还是宁愿去重看一遍cage的National Treasure，真的要好很多～编剧和导演都.....十年前的老梗太多.....想用游戏分来赢得票房可能不容易。
虽然觉得夺宝奇兵的年代过去了 但是动作设计我无法抗拒
看了个寂寞 真的连三星都不想给 感觉马克演的很勉强 荷兰弟也是主角光环 然后剧情到底是想干嘛 不是说跟游戏毫无关系吗？我觉得这电影还没有游戏做得好 做的流畅和连贯 烧钱还搞个高空动作戏 腰居然都没有折断还安全降落了 我真的好累啊 浪费时间 连红色通缉令都不如 虽然那也是个烂片
