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.
摸不着头脑的前30分钟过去之后
能够坚持到最后的追梦者都是英雄，无论梦想是否成真。
音乐歌舞类电影在我这自带加分。
看的时候还在说很像《吉屋出租》+《Smash》，原来男主的原型是《吉屋出租》的作者。几乎每一首歌都很棒(这个大大加分)，影视化上做得中规中矩，是不是音乐剧的表现形式差不多就都是这些了，提线木偶和天台唱歌内两首真的感觉似曾相识。期待更多一些创意(内种生命力的感jio~)。
贫瘠地燃烧，燃烧到贫瘠。电影一般，内核动人，一流的故事、二流的剧本、三流的制作。很Beatnik，很社畜关怀，依靠free writing和improvising的创作完全解构世界的隐喻和意义、摆脱了象征秩序的压迫，叫嚣出最原始最纯粹的自我表达。我们为什么要玩火？当一败涂地的现实与热爱共存，人就获得了去挣扎去燃烧的所有动力。
1、叙事节奏很奇怪，始终不能进入故事氛围，无处不在的割裂感无法聚焦成清晰的主线；2、唯一值得称道的是中间有首抒情的歌蛮好听的，其他都感觉平平。
TTB明显是为奥斯卡设计的，剧中剧、音乐剧和传记片放在一起，又有同性恋、毒品这些议题穿插打底，剧作的设计感太足，得奖的使命感也过于直白。对于一个没看过百老汇《RENT》的普通观众而言，很难共情，即便是本该成为亮点的音乐，也被剧情拆解地支离破碎，有佳句无佳章，况且编剧对于Jon的生活境遇处理地过于敷衍潦草，艺术之于生活的纠结也是浮于表面。剧作扎实的音乐剧还是Walk the Line，有神鬼演出的Joaquin Phoenix都没能拿奖，加菲猫明显这次更不够格了。
电影里呈现出的Jonathan Larson，其实和他的那部最著名的作品一样，充斥着某种程度的自私、自以为是、自我中心……但是，我无法讨厌这一切，因为我无法拒绝其中蕴含的真挚和才华。看了不少关于Rent的各种缺点的小论文，很多我也无意反驳，但它始终打动我心，Jonathan Larson也始终让我无比难过——如果他能够继续下去，他一定会创造出不留任何遗憾的作品。
导演居然是林聚聚 震惊一秒 导演很聪明没有选择Jon更加戏剧性的作品rent 而是选择了他并不出名的tick,tick...boom 这部他从毫无名气到被业内认可 最终或许是前作的失败铸就了他真正的成功 很喜欢导演用舞台剧当作内心独白 穿插在Jon的人生画面里 虽然中间有些部分过度煽情持中立态度 但通过这部电影 让我们稍稍了解了一下这位耀眼的天才 愿Jon在天堂继续他下一部 下下部 下下下部作品 他的才华终究会被更多的人看到 waiting for your next one
年度歌舞好片，加菲尔德也很适合这个角色，虽然是音乐家的传记片，但是每个人都能从中看到自己的影子。这种年龄焦虑、事业焦虑、同龄人焦虑三管齐下的状态也正是无数人深陷其中的，尝试追求着自己理想的生活方式，但频频精神内耗自我怀疑。
本来不太喜欢的。后来还是看哭了。八岁认识的小伙伴才会在大吵一架之后第二天还会出现。我怎么会不在你最重要的场合。所以打动程度远远超过那段游泳池里写出的歌曲。看得懂重要性但情绪铺垫还是俗套且单薄了。关于不停的写下一部。也还好他有才华有运气。但是总觉得也有英年早逝的成分。有时候真觉得冥冥之中自有天意。顺便提一句，好久不见把加菲拍的太奇怪了吧。
林漫威的自我投射过剩。。唱段拍得挺动听的，但离动人有好远距离，有那么多情绪充沛的时刻却至于看完一遍后没有任何一段留下印象
表演很好 曲子很好 主题也很好 遭不住实在水土不服 从舞台搬到镜头前不代表可以罔顾电影逻辑 林漫威别拍电影了还是
4.5 Sunday里的致敬太让人激动了…一本充满了强烈情感色彩的传记。
和醉乡民谣、爱乐之城相比，这部可能缺少些沉淀和让我感动激动的东西，歌词过于接地气，好听的歌曲不是太多，故事有点单薄。
你完全可以相信安德鲁加菲尔德Andrew Garfield
游乐场那一套打发开始内卷到音乐歌舞片了，卡的不是音乐的节奏，而是娱乐的爽点。可怜加菲，老天赏饭吃的少年脆弱感没有遇到真实走心的好团队；也可怜加菲，全身心交代的勤奋较真劲过度匠熏以桂椒。所谓买椟还珠的笑话还要被重复多少次？还要被笑话多少遍？
