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.
偷窥者其实在被偷窥，摄像小哥老婆挺狠啊，直接毒死大胡子，还伪造成自杀，这不是画蛇添足么？女友给自己带绿帽子，自己自杀？女主最后把他们变成了瞎子也算是复仇了。。。（女主身材一级棒，很大很凶）
画面真好，主题也很鲜明。#梅拉尼罗兰补完计划#
关于女性意识/形态，就感觉差了一口提神的气，是不是剧本没有打磨好还是本就是如此粗糙。《飞越疯人院》＋《第六感》＋《小姐》的容概版，其实就是将《小姐》的思想束缚换了个背景。对于宗教，对于上帝，对于西方鬼神之说。"有的人看见神明就是正常的，而我看见鬼魂就疯了。"可怕的不是看见鬼，而是惧怕鬼的人。一幕幕残忍的歇斯底里症治疗，一层层想要和解的鬼魂述说的纱窗，一件件华丽的衣服，一场最后高潮的舞会，就是一群疯女人的一生。有的人取悦男人沦为案板上的鱼肉，有的人因为残疾只能供男人泄欲，有的花枝招展只为疯狂一舞。疯女人的聚会，疯女人的宿命，疯女人的残忍与束缚，尽在最后的高潮里了。
题材是好的，立意也是很好的，感觉就是功底还不够orz
高级的猎人往往以猎物的方式出现。开头有2021《后窗》的感觉，结尾拉垮，不血腥也不恐怖。
现代预言。结尾反转，像是用“不合理”解释“不合理”，前半部分还是很好看的。
生动诠释了灵魂出轨&肉体出轨，同时高能反转让人直呼过瘾（甚至轻微涉及了lgbt议题）anyway我真的好爱Cassie妹纸！！
最后的反转确实掉分，男主的摄影展不展示女模特，而是展示别人家的隐私，真能出名吗
当你凝视深渊的时候，深渊也在凝视你：刚乔迁新居的热恋情侣在因为好奇心从无意中偷窥邻居夫妇赤膊上阵、盘肠大战，到一步步陷入肉体、快感和诱惑的欲海沉沦，在偷窥与被偷窥中，一张张高清照片让个人隐私荡然无存，甚至引来了死神的光顾；然而螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后，善恶到头终有报，玩弄人心的衣冠禽兽也必将受到受害者绝望的反戈一击。被荷尔蒙操纵的痴男怨女们，永远理不清肉欲和爱情的先来后到。
俩女主身材爆喷血啊！啥惊悚，就是个香艳情色片差不多
从质量上来说只是及格，但从影迷情怀来看这是现在少有的悬疑情色b级片类别，还受了希胖的影响。最近正在发现那些几乎被历史遗忘的、属于传统好莱坞风格重要基因的、当下这个虚伪的艺术时代几乎不会出现的风格，性感、罪恶、毫无避讳，它本就是满足特定想象和释放快感的一种娱乐方式，而却不被这个“政治正确”的时代所接受。所以这样看这个片子，质量不高但绝不能叫纯粹的“烂”，它真正释放的电影味道是那些只靠特效“轰炸”的现代烂片永远不能做到的。
那麼
好奇害死猫的佩奇最后反杀，只是弄瞎了他们是不是太便宜了他们啦
所有情色电影在jerkoff后失去观影乐趣 不过后面的剧情反转倒是可以 就是那种好又说不出哪儿好差也没有差到哪儿去的电影吧
4-，看清别人，也就看清自己。影片中看不见的灵魂，便起到这个作用吧，由此带入沟通与情感，对主题和冲突来说，是因也是果。但最后以自由做结，还是简单了点。双女主气质迷人。
画面真好，主题也很鲜明。#梅拉尼罗兰补完计划#
四星，故事三星，结尾反转给半星，女主身材和牺牲给半星，不过最后的复仇不合理，女主怎么给他们的酒下药的？
估计是对希区柯克的电影拉片拉了500个小时拍出来的
最后的反转就感觉有点多余，刘承羽和张雨绮长得太像了吧，出戏了。
电影一般但真的没人能抗拒Mélanie Laurent
