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.
所以为啥中断了时空旅行，主角还是没有马上消失呢？……
2050-2022带孩子-2018
萌鸡小队为什么只有妈妈？它们的爸爸去哪儿了？
说烂不算烂，但也全片看的提不起太大兴趣
科幻元素大乱炖，靠着演员喜爱度看完。（ps：疫情期间特效也跟不上了，那个年轻的玛雅是认真的么…）
瑞安 你一出现就带给我快乐 当然 童年的你更胜一筹
网飞流水线片，雷诺兹正在变成演什么都像死侍
中规中矩套路科幻片，又想搞笑又想走正剧煽情的结果就是两边都很别扭，不过以 Netflix 科幻片的前科”中规中矩“不让人看得如坐针毡世界上最漫长的两个小时的话已经是成功了。
和蜘蛛侠3构成互文，三代同聚和父子重逢，都是相当感人的场面。当然除了打情怀牌以外，两者剧本都一样毫不意外的无聊至极，电影还是维持着肖恩一贯的水准，和《失控玩家》一样只玩特效。
中规中矩的爆米花片，最后还挺感人的，小男主演技真不错啊
6.5分！喜剧人物小贱贱在2050年再次化身爱妻狂魔偷走飞船穿越时空回到过去，试图拯救爱妻，不料坐标错误回到了2022年，为了挫败反派阴谋拯救爱妻和世界，小贱贱带着12岁的自己又回到了2018年求助多年不见的父亲，最终三人合力干掉反派，拯救了世界；故事剧情算是比较俗套了，穿越的老梗，但在亲情部分做的还不错，男主对父亲的思念也溢于言表，科幻飞行器战斗场面和打斗场面也还行，但没有太多亮点，整体而言算是勉强合格但又平庸的科幻温情商业片；
三星半，毫无营养但可口美味的快餐电影。穿越时间线什么的谁关心呢，RR可以让我流口水就行了。有些父子笑话以及我和我的笑话get到了还是很有趣的
全篇的科幻部分都应该砍掉。跟自己对话的部分最touching，你是最值得感谢的。卡魔拉在这里真磕碜...还是漫威宇宙里的她好看。
还行吧，当做爆米花电影可以，主要还是看小贱贱和他孩童时期的碎嘴
最新的电影，却透出最酸腐的陈旧气息，全片不管从什么角度都完美诠释了什么叫“不思进取”。演员依然在演过去的角色，科幻设定依然是80s的大路剧本，艺术指导依然是各个科幻电影里东拼西凑的大杂烩。
不错的好莱坞电影，科幻+亲情，整体流畅，演员演技在线。就是这个未来老婆实在年纪实在太大了，要说在大学里遇见这阿姨，这脸没一点年轻的胶原蛋白样子了，一见就沦陷了好像有点不符。
但适合科幻片入门小白！
2050年由于时空穿越飞船发明出后，妻子劳拉驾驶飞船意外失踪、父亲死因不明，亚当怀疑时空局的玛雅有问题；为查明真相，偷一架时空穿越飞机准备返回2018年找到发明时间机器的父亲路易斯以阻止研制，但却意外穿越回到父亲已死亡的2022年，遇到13岁的自己，需要二次穿越回2018，且反派老板玛雅带机甲战士杀来，危机之时妻子劳拉驰援而来。原来，劳拉4年前发现玛雅违规穿越回2018擅自篡改历史以控制世界，玛雅为掩盖罪行炸毁了劳拉的穿越飞船致使劳拉困在2018年。再次穿越至2018年，此时路易斯已发现磁粒子加速器可产生虫洞，进入虫洞就能实现时空穿越，并研制出一台磁粒子加速器。取出加速器的硬盘后，玛雅持枪挟持13岁的亚当索要硬盘，争斗间，2018年的玛雅被打死，继而2050年的玛雅消失。最后，13岁的亚当谅
感觉九十年代以后这种傻乎乎的合家欢快乐科幻片就越来越稀少了呢，不得不为情感加上一星。
2、演小亚当的小演员模仿RR的话痨、语气和动作模仿的超级像。
