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.
世界观不需要多新颖，主线剧情和节奏可以公式化，但细节上灵光满满，就能很好看，比如原地跳和不停蹭墙的玩家，还有一些个令人忍俊不禁的慢镜头和客串。然而大局上缺乏深意也让愉快的观影结束后，少了一些回味。
7.8分才这个水平也是没想到，不及2018年国产真人游戏题材大片《动物世界》的十分之一。明年希望能看到动物世界2。
sort of like WestWorld
最后的结尾很浪漫很惊喜，美国这类片子的想象力已经内卷到一定地步，以至于说，搞成这样都没什么太大惊喜了。

原以为是这个时代的《玩具总动员》，结果不过是又一部《头号玩家》👎🏻
结局还挺好，但大boss的能力就是砸服务器？！Taika估计自己演的时候也很郁闷吧…
特效粗糙，逻辑缺乏，主题暧昧，演员被导演整得拉夸。
“我只是写给你的一封情书，写情书的那个人在那个世界。”探讨类似题材的电影数不胜数，耳熟能详的《黑客帝国》《楚门的世界》《移魂都市》等等，如果我们的世界也只是别人创造的虚拟世界，那么世界的真相到底是什么？
【A-】

3.意想不到的是问题出在我和一起看的女孩子都是多年从事游戏行业的…游戏里的一些关于开发的设定极其脆弱甚至根本不合逻辑，我们出来吐槽了大概20分钟。不过最后还是觉得，电影是面相更大众的，他的娱乐使命确实很好的达到了，迪士尼的IP随便用确实很土豪，影院里惊呼与笑声此起彼伏已经说明了他作为娱乐片本身的素质是足够的。

赛博政治正确 AI LIVES MATTER，字幕翻译血烂直逼贾秀琰，稍微有点看够了瑞安雷诺兹剥削DP形象，第二幕过于稳健昏昏欲睡，直到DUDE大战才笑出来，总而言之还是小打小闹的玩意儿
我去，梦魇融合怪！瑞安·雷诺兹现在演什么角色都是一股死侍的味道，爱情线跟古早的浪漫爱情喜剧差不多尬，特别是渲染暧昧关系时候用的音乐都是听到耳朵起茧的那种老歌了，更加强化了这种印象。结尾处又在打嘴炮呼唤爱了，我可去你的。个人认为是几个主角夸张甚至有点傻宝的演技拉低了我对本片的观感分，本质上就是一部套着游戏皮的浪漫爱情喜剧吧。
最后从游戏回到现实还挺感动的，其他的很流水线。
黑印度人只会高技术，不会用脑子思考的唯命是从
3；每一句我爱你都写进了原始代码，是中杯咖啡奶油加糖，是泡泡糖冰淇淋和秋千，无论如何智能变幻，里面都是想要亲吻你的永恒浪漫；
不要压榨程序员了🆘，他们满脑子想的都是free
嗯，可能我期望过高了，就还好，故事情节非常老套，看点就是演员了，有一些些搞笑，没了。
