Elijah Wood is a Reluctant Sidekick in BBC America's DIRK GENTLY Comic-Con Trailer

Chronicle writer Max Landis is a wildly divisive figure in the film industry right now, but he's gotta be doing something right, because the dude is always working. One of his new projects is executive producing a new show called Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency for BBC America, and the show's first trailer hit Comic-Con this past weekend.

The series, which stars Samuel Barnett as the time-traveling private detective Dirk Gently and Elijah Wood as his exasperated sidekick Todd, is based on the characters created by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy writer Douglas Adams in his novel which shares this series' title. I really like the execution of this trailer, which zooms in and out of a bunch of screens to tell its story. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency hits BBC America on October 22, 2016.
