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.
稍微镜头对准下体几秒，就受不了了？屋顶还没掀翻呢，这才哪跟哪。
不加修饰，现实甚至更加惨烈吧，每个人都应该看看。
B+ #CIBEMABIA# 电影以1.37:1的旧电视格式呈现，缩小了视野，并赋予故事真实性和生活感，Anne的怀孕周期随着时间的推移如同定时炸弹一样不断揪着观众的心，她试图阻止，并付出了代价。出彩的剪辑，使一系列景深和定焦的连贯镜头变得生动，特写镜头则密切地关注着安妮怀孕的身体、心理变化，捕捉这一过程并且赤裸裸的呈现出来，与Never不同的是，它全程都是冷冰冰的。我们大多数人做出的选择通常与社会接受度相符，但我们仍然希望在坚持自我后，被拥抱与接受，即使在精神上拒绝承认这一点，正如片名《正发生》，类似的事会将一直在我们身边上演，禁止不了的是人类的生理结构，而退一万步，社会能做的就只有接纳与照顾，但听闻德州实行的堕胎禁令，让人不禁想问，社会是否正在倒退？
3.5毫无疑问，一个不让女性自主堕胎的国家，就是把女性当没有头脑的子宫，全社会都在“保大保小”中选择了保小，他们否认女人是人，认为女人就是行走的、不能自主生活的子宫。而这样的社会中，男人也未必见得有头脑，可能有欲望和冲动，可能有自尊和虚荣，但是毫无思考能力，毫无智慧。敬畏生灵的轮回，可是毫无长进的头脑阻断了灵魂的升华，群体陷入了无意义的齿轮之中不断受苦。苟延残喘的低质量的生，不如高贵的思考有意义的死。摄影和灯光都不错，音乐学到了
几乎没有避讳用镜头，我不知道伴随而来一波又一波生理心理的双重不适感袭来的，算不算影片带给的精彩。。。头次看到这种犀利直面女性生育伦理的电影，不得不说我被某些画面和自己强作的感同身受给震到了～
最终还是girls help girls，导演很会运用细节，找到堕胎途径前，女主一直抽离在环境之外，周围人后退为嘈杂烦躁的背景音。经历两次堕胎后，第三次没有再直接表现，详略得当。 男老师是全片唯一不惹人反感的男性角色，但也只是因为他没有直接介入女主的困境。支持堕胎合法，物种居于女性身上，但女性也可以拒绝。
又像在全程围观
@某些“少女”（知名不具），不如找心理咨询师“谈谈心”………@鸢鸢：看过！
概念get到了，但处理得未免过于生硬。老老实实拍个家庭片可能还能保证个底盘，现在硬要在开篇走心理惊悚的路子只会让人觉得哪哪都不搭。这个戏唯一值得一提的就是它的疫情背景，但是后半程也写没了，看不到这对中产母女的转变，相比日本同样注重新冠背景聚焦底层生活的《茜色如烧》简直毫无灵气甚至也没有匠气，只能说别再捧杀钟孟宏了谢谢。
一个青少年的心理抗争路程，痛苦与孤独并存！
#Sundance2022 “Who cares what you feel like?”
3.5 又是女人之苦(血腥 小女孩心态变化抓得挺好
想起 #从不，很少，有时，总是，异曲同工之处，刚好遇上美国取消了执行50年的堕胎权，这片还要是在说60年代的，时代一直没进步不禁让人唏嘘
期待了几个月总算等到了，还好没有随着噱头大书特书。
全篇无全景镜头 四比三的选择非常妥帖 通过运动和控制焦点 景深 变焦一系列技术操作来实现信息量的控制 突然get到了 手持四比三偏纪实感的全部奥义
法国1975年才颁布法律允许abortion，而2022年世界上不少地区又开始禁止，太讽刺了，真是”正发生” // 女主演的非常好，拍摄也细腻，代入感很强看的很痛苦
老师问她怎么成绩落下这么多，女孩说她得了女的才会得的病，这种病会让她变成家庭主妇。
013921 安娜玛丽亚·沃特鲁梅全裸 女配全裸
看这部影片，一边对女孩的遭遇揪心，一边唾弃那些冷漠的旁观者。
我可以理解和接受她的忍痛割肉 每个女性都应该有处置自己和决定未来的权利
