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.
晚上整理网站无意间点进这个电影页面，然后就看了几分钟发现还蛮好看的，就索性熬夜刷，打戏很精彩，拳拳到肉，马东锡依旧那么能打，毕竟吨位摆在这，打的姜海尚想哭都哭不出来，这姜海尚也是挺狠的，见一个捅一个，砍人利索，下手快准狠，脑子也好使，唯一的缺点就是砍人没有特写。。
20220718，Fantasia。Somehow比第一部好看不少。跟著觀眾一起做反應可太幸福了！
鸟为食亡的宿命使得极端暴匪不能断臂求生，最终在影片后段被马副班长一伙围在笼中。遗憾的是，崔智白雇佣的队伍给人带来的集团式犯罪和幕后操纵错觉的出场，最终还是变成极端个案离场。大韩警官诙谐暴力，粗中带细，隐忍痛击，锄暴安良，快意恩仇。第一部捍卫韩国主场，第二部远征越南。合着韩国也拿民族主意赚钱卫国。第一部中国朝鲜族是首尔社会问题，第二部韩国黑帮成为胡志明市社会不稳定因素，还杀抢本国越南游客。哈尔滨张晨到哈尔滨张谦，不到5年（2004-2008）中国人从反派主角滑落到边角秒端盒饭杀手。聪明人可能都借着改开和法改春风出口转内销去做合法生意了。张夷帅这个名儿，挺合身的。
好喜欢这种拳拳到肉，绝对压制的戏码，哈哈哈
简单直接，感觉体量也不大，定位非常明确，就是让观众看个爽。剧本基本上就是一本道，但这种剔除所有其他元素，专心提供泄愤通道的做法无疑非常成功，优秀的动作戏和演员演技也让这个系列暂时没有走上家人侠那种纯纯非人类的道路，期待下一部。
作为韩国巨大爆款对比极限职业之类的片子，完成度还是很高的，比第一部更加直给，案情的设置更粗暴，动作戏也更升级，更血腥也更娱乐属性。越南韩国两地取景不免让人联想到当年颠覆的香港，韩国类型电影真的崛起啦
——这是SUV啦。
虽然续集的豆瓣评分高于第一部，但是观感明显弱于第一部。第一部的精彩在于多方黑帮角力，再加上刑警的介入，戏剧冲突既丰富又激烈。续集的戏剧冲突较为单一，黑帮元素很淡，主要是警匪追逐战。
换了个导演，整体有种803破案的感觉。没上一部那种身边的街坊好警察戏份，少了些接地气的内容，但笑点更多了。反派刻画也少了一些，就一个纯粹的悍匪。继续延续上一部不开枪的风格，这次至少开了两枪。整体还是挺满意的。
剧情简单，感觉演员很少，不知道是不是因为疫情，电影规模都缩水了
其他角色再凶狠，在你马哥面前那也就是几拳头的事
非常简单的故事和脸谱化的人物，打斗追逐包括酷刑都一般很淡口味，居然评价这么高无语
但马东锡战神还是战神，实力证明砍刀没有拳头强👍🏻（bushi
3.5啊以西，西八，keiseigia ～溜溜的
7.5分。比上一部强很多啊~~~特别是前半部分在越南的部分，使得很多内容都有了合理性。主要的进步还是反派杀伐果断的程度有增加，脑子也好使很多，相比之下马东锡依然是一力降十会，馒头大的拳头下啥都留不了~~~~几场打斗戏份比1有进步，不过么。。。总感觉这些年韩国片总体尺度似乎还是下来了？？？？
电影也没啥优点，就是好看，马东锡野兽刑警的人设基本捶死，动作场面一直都是韩国电影的长项，拳拳到肉的感觉完全可以让我们忽略合理性！
打的很爽，故事还是那个套路，但是就是看起来很爽。
打戏没得说，文戏就有点闹着玩儿了啊。而且借着第一部的基础，续作明目张胆地偷懒，配角们都单薄成纸片了。
3星半，简单、粗暴的针锋相对，一言不合就抡起拳头，人设就是为马东锡量身定做，感觉身材怎么越来越壮，孙锡久饰演角色的凶暴度完胜上一部反派。
马东锡:我来越南只干三件事，扇嘴巴、扇嘴巴还是扇嘴巴。背景音乐:See Tinh，丁丁叮当丁丁当叮叮……
