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.
「五个扑水的少年」20211005
最有意思的是这个导演还拍了赤狐书生。一个脱离了迎合奇怪市场需求的导演，也可以拍出截然不同的，意气昂扬的青春片。记得原版更加纯粹，更加青春，但这个翻拍版也挺好的。不过最后的表演好到过于魔幻了，一下就间离效果了，把人从感动中抽出来了。
爽吗？ 不爽！！ 不爽就去行动！ 今年最好的青春片。放在常日一定是一匹黑马， 起承转合流畅自然。选角非常贴角色，眼睛根本“看不过来”/狗头。基本没有让人不适的地方，没有荤段子不谈恋爱不扯性别议题不盲目打鸡血不麦麸，适合所有人观看😏
又被感动到，我就是那个不差不好的孩子，总是这么混在人群中，觉得也没那么不好，其实是没有勇气踏出去的那一步。
【五个扑街的少年】
有点台湾青春片的味道，最后的集合表演太燃了，在搞笑木讷热血中度过。
3星。很励志、很青春、画面美、剧情不狗血、小演员演技也很好，音乐也选的好，说起来都是优点，但全程无法入戏，整个感觉平淡，和那些常规的CCTV6影片观感没什么区别。
内心很复杂。其实很多时候我觉得人应该按着既定的路线一直走下去才算成功。但是看到这样不在学习的青春，还是很羡慕。高中写过一篇作文，主题是无用之用方为大用。有时候不必太功利，也不必把一些事看的太重要。
这部片子真的很让我惊喜了！本来不抱期望，没想到看到一部超出预期的热血青春电影。青春+运动本来就很容易燃起来，当然编剧和导演也没有浪费这个组合。故事还算饱满，节奏也很不错。虽说全片的发展也都在意料之内，但是并不影响观众的接受度。不过美中不足有两点，本片的五个男孩性格刻画其实可以再丰富一些，王子、队长、学霸这三个人太让人脸盲了，所以全片看完我都没怎么分清楚谁是谁。还有队长的感情线其实也没必要加，对剧情没有任何的推进作用。除此之外我还是对这部片子挺满意的，是近几个月难得能让我夸得出口的院线电影了，这种可以让人会心一笑的片子多一点排片吧。
一起努力过的日子(五只花样跳水少年)。
国庆档的一股清流，虽然很模板化，虽然是翻拍，但起码好好讲了一个故事，比那两部献礼片好看
不被理解，不被支持，排除万难，劳动换来训练的机会，却在结尾被临时取消了表演，临机应变在颁奖仪式前突发抢镜上场，是青春的宣言！因此“最佳参与奖”应该颁发给每个人的“青春”。
借着热血青春的名义拍的这么俗气拉胯，是这么多人都没看过优秀的青春片吗？？确实看着是挺青春的，也挺有活力，但是所谓的热血我觉得挺狗血的。而且传统中国大陆式青春片的盲目自嗨，真的让人嗨不起来，本来开头看着还可以的，后续越来越不行，乱七八糟，为了热闹而瞎热闹。不是拍了点夏天的阳光、大海、少年就是青春片了，讲故事手法能不能别再这么俗，这么不符合实际了？！自嗨无前途！
如果说 ，我的世界 不能等到 万里晴空，
翻拍里少有的没国籍痕迹的。有哭有笑，少年们，冲！
日版是真的很神，我跟朋友都推薦過。本土化版本的前半段還不錯，後面全面崩壞，太尷尬了...教練就是個陪襯，改變命運的竟然是個操着方言的抖音網紅，一場比賽媽媽就感動得不行了...?
2021.10.5 至潮影院 打卡一个新电影院。这排片也太虐了，但是真的比另外两部更让我快乐和放松。剧本里有青春片常有的尴尬与老套，但是故事和题材都不错，节奏和剧情很紧凑，再说谁不爱少年明媚的样子呢？我们总要去尝试做一些事情，就是普普通通不好不坏，也要去发现一下自己的闪光点。
其实这部改编更有共鸣，日本原版那种日式的夸张风格本来就是一个不是很喜欢的点，不过当初看日本原版很惊艳的最后一场，这里面依旧很激动。
青春 热血 稚嫩 单纯 这才是中国青春类型片应该往的方向走啊
蔚蓝的夏天和蔚蓝的泳池，男孩们的快乐好简单
