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.
每个孩子都有一个小白的时代，社交建立在固有的网络模式之上，非理性跟风显露，号称的坚固友谊死板单一全不可靠，与此相对的，跳脱程序的阿荣在一穷二白的情况下与巴尼真心相处，开发了更适合孩子个性释放的交友准则，怪胎不怪，只是缺少足够的理解。
影片末尾望去黄昏海岸线边的城市，点点灯光，导演自然有自己具体的私人回忆涌上心头，但对于屏幕前的人，只是一种用几个形容词描绘的抽象感触，说是共情更像是自我感动，所以对于电影便是微微领略他人异域生活，找一点喜悲品尝，没那么多情感洪流。
7.5/10.0。对那不勒斯和球王的追忆不及前作中阿尔卑斯山和罗马城的众生相。受限于自传题材，费里尼式新现实主义梦境的想象力被大打折扣。但这部片子依然精确保留了《绝美之城》巅峰之作的些许柔软隐秘的影子：少年、地中海海岸、启蒙的姑娘。索伦蒂诺作为意大利古典风格的传承代表，与大洋彼岸的马力克似乎构成了应对虚无的两面：前者是构建新现实主义的半真半假，后者是借用摄影机而抽离的第三只眼。
真情实意才是朋友交往的基础，小白和大白有点像，都是我们的好朋友。
看到太多其他动画的影子，可以说是毫无原创性可言。

私人影像好难懂啊，那不勒斯很美，不过还是更喜欢《痛苦与荣耀》
我只想死在，或者时间停摆把我留在那个夜晚的加油站
我們童年時的玩伴，隨著成長軌跡各異漸漸各行各路，而巴尼童年的玩伴團體瓦解，只因「腦友」大數據演算法的「不敏合」，孩童時期玩耍燦笑的時光隨著科技的蓬勃轉瞬即逝，我們習慣地把笑容留給了科技，把冷漠留給了世界，忘卻曾經我們可以單憑面對面交流相處而與對方成為知心好友，「失靈腦朋友」透過交流知曉巴奇的生活習慣和愛好，是一段關係能長遠發展的致勝之道。
哭了哭了 两人一起逃跑进森林 太快乐了 也太悲伤了 用贴纸和输入信息联结成的code 感觉像是alive 当你心情不好的时候 我就会回到六英尺范围之外 来自代码的可爱和悲伤 程序的单纯对位情绪的复杂
也是最可笑的那类美式动画。
1.旧朋友会离开，新朋友会到来，旧朋友也会重逢；2.情感细节：怕光的小男孩，给他光，光让我们辨认彼此。
属于索伦蒂诺童年的自传体电影。碧蓝的第勒尼安海，那不勒斯的浮光掠影，夕阳映照下空虚的少年。没人知道在1986年的那个夏天，从天而降的迭戈马拉多纳对于这座海滨小城而言意味着什么。我们不知，也许少年也不知。只记得他用墨西哥世界杯上的「上帝之手」为阿根廷带来了大力神杯，那不勒斯的两座意甲奖杯也恍如昨日。这一次索伦迪诺没有遵照传统的叙事结构去处理，反而是用无序的少年视角去探讨青春的苦涩与懵懂，通过琐碎的生活小事、对姨妈的性幻想，搭配上费里尼式的碎片剪辑，虽然还是意式风情的传统基调，却也显得非常真诚，浅尝辄止又意味深长。遗憾的是终究那不勒斯再美，追求梦想的少年还是踏上了去往罗马的火车，一如马拉多纳5年后的远赴西班牙。因为人，始终不会在一个地方停留。本片代表意大利冲奥，祝愿索导好运。
大白的续集小小白……温暖而有思量！
生活中真挚的友谊却在减少。
最近一连看了好几部好像是大数据拼出来的片子…
后半段的私人情感叙事不仅是对前半段费里尼式的狂欢影像的反叛，也是导演本人对其创作脉络的一次反思和重组。创作的痛点究竟是来自于故乡本身还是离开故乡的找寻，灵感究竟是枯竭还是被主观抗拒，索伦蒂诺用影像叩击着自己，和回忆的痛与隐秘和解。
It's not easy to have friends. So cherish them.
这是一部导演自传。有什么电影会比导演拍自己的故事还有说服力么？
天上掉下个傻缺机，傻缺机治好了全球孩子的缺友症，然后卒
