Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

[DanaC]

So - there is a new attempt at bringing this character to the screen...


Please, please don't fuck it up.

The last attempt was ok...the lead character, played by Stephen Mangan felt suitably Dirk Gentlylike, but overall as a production it felt flat.

I have my doubts about any adaptation really - it's such a bizarre story and I feel like it would just become a slightly oddball detective tale the moment it gets to a screen.

The promo has not relieved me of that doubt.



I wonder if they'll tell the Dirk Gently story, with the electronic Monk and the multidimensional element, or just take the character and do something entirely different with it.
