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.
宗教诈骗集团的发展与倒台。最后为了证明宗教的“清白”还搞了一场主旋律的戏。劳模姐演技赞，简直换了个人，另外大腮帮子妆笑起来特别喜庆，说明要煽动人心讨喜的面相真的挺重要。
剧情幼稚无聊，影院声音刺耳朵，只适合儿童看
为什么我。。。看的是。。。。guo配。。。😭😭😭
电影很一般，但是劳模姐这表演真的挺牛的，难度也非常大，奥斯卡影后候选了。
非常平庸的传记片，劳模演的确实不错但剧本没有深挖角色
可以配搭《Benedetta》或《Mainstream》一起看。開首小Tammy在教堂感受痙攣般神召卻被教徒認為顯靈，一件改變她命運的貂皮草，她是愛神還是愛人或者只想當個被敬愛的人都不重要，因為電影實太在平淡，剩下的就只有Jessica Chastain的易容式表演。
6.2 他们要是诞生在现在，大概率是彻底失去良心的卡戴珊家族
劳模姐和加菲的表演都是一流的，特有年代的色调感也十足，但传记本身并没有给人留下特别深刻的印象，像在平淡的记叙故事。塔米夫妇从发家到陨落，都显得有点稀里糊涂，稀里糊涂就做起来了电视台，稀里糊涂又把事业搞瘫痪了，丈夫稀里糊涂就成了同性恋，和他之前一直大肆宣传的“上帝反对同性恋”相悖。而塔米虽然是一个有理想有能力又有野心的女人，最终却不得不强打精神，收拾丈夫的乱摊子。如果传记想表达什么的话，那可能是“眼看他起朱楼，眼看他宴宾客，眼看他楼塌了”历史给人的唯一教训是没有教训。
给多一星拉高
就影片整体而言非常平庸，所呈现的时代感算是为数不多的亮点。对劳模姐来说这个造型真是反差到挺看不出来的，她的表演也配得上这部奥系女主片其他闲杂人等的陪衬，明天就看是劳模还是骚潘喜提影后了。
我看塔米菲，免不了生出一些“小人物的阴暗”，就觉得一个这么积极天真的人当然会被社会教育。她曾经的美好和坚定缺乏苦难的淬炼，后来好不容易等她经受挫败破茧而出，让她内心的瑰宝绽放光芒，电影就戛然而止在这里。所以我真的很难说这电影的立意在哪里，不像讽刺，不像赞颂，更像是唏嘘。可是我还是觉得一个能在经历过挫折后还想着要关怀青少年的人，她值得更多。
不知道是我年龄大了还是怎么的，看的我直犯困。
劳模姐的表演魅力突破了一层层的特效化妆，加菲只能说不拖后腿吧。
六一的前一天晚上，全家包场看了。不过开场就把我吓到了，旁边三岁娃倒是很淡定，但我这个妈看着看着觉得这个好像不太适合三岁小朋友看啊……
信仰的力量可太强大了...
可以与教皇奥利十世媲美，塔米·菲也是一个虔诚基督徒同时又是一个超级享乐主义者。她和她的丈夫吉姆——男女通吃的骗子，两人创办的电视台在基督教世界里无线风光二十年，一时无两。
叙事节奏有点乱，看完get不到，究竟这个人物的正反两面的点在哪里。不过劳模姐的表演是精彩的，加菲竟然不帅！

54th 还不错啊，至少观影挺轻松的也不沉闷，劳模姐很稳定的喜剧表演。劳模姐在好莱坞兢兢业业认真拍戏这么多年，确实值得奥斯卡提名鼓励。总比某些靠漏阴炒作把表演当做名利和事业回春的工具，表面be kind背后阴招不断捧高踩低的双面人强。
和她的第60部电影
