Filming has begun for Us, BBC One’s four-part drama adapted by David Nicholls from his hugely popular novel of the same name.
Tom Hollander (Baptiste, The Night Manager) will be joined by Saskia Reeves (Luther, Shetland), Sofie Gråbøl (The Killing, Fortitude), Tom Taylor (Doctor Foster, The Dark Tower), Iain De Caestecker (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The Fades) and Thaddea Graham (Curfew, The Letter for the King), with casting by Sarah Crowe. It is produced by Drama Republic and Bandstand Productions.
Douglas Petersen (Tom Hollander) is blindsided when his wife Connie (Saskia Reeves) tells him that she’s not sure she wants to be married to him anymore. Agreeing to still go on their planned family grand tour of Europe, Douglas vows to win back the love of his wife and repair his troubled relationship with their son Albie (Tom Taylor).
Reflecting David Nicholls' signature mix of humour and heartbreak, Us brings the Petersens' poignant and often hilarious story to life, taking viewers with them on their once-in-a-lifetime journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world.
David Nicholls says: “It’s a huge thrill to see the novel come to life, and with such a wonderful cast and production team. We want to make something funny, touching and beautiful, to really explore marriage and family life, all against this incredible backdrop.”
Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod say: “We are delighted to be working with Drama Republic and the great David Nicholls in bringing his beautiful novel to BBC One. The trials of the Petersens will strike a chord with many - a family tale for our times.”
Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, says: “We feel so honoured to be bringing David’s beautiful novel to BBC One and to have the brilliant Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves playing the leading roles. We are thrilled to work with David and Drama Republic once again and also with Bandstand Productions on their debut drama for the BBC.”
Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn, Executive Producers for Drama Republic, say: “David Nicholls is a unique and rare talent who miraculously manages to intertwine profound emotion with full-on humour. This glorious adaptation has attracted an exceptional cast in Tom Hollander, Saskia Reeves and Sofie Gråbøl. We couldn’t be more excited to begin filming.”
Us is executive produced by Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn for Drama Republic, Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod for Bandstand Productions, Jo McClellan for BBC One and David Nicholls. It is directed by Lisa Siwe (Temple, Modus) and distributed internationally by BBC Studios. Filming will take place in London, Amsterdam, Venice, Barcelona and Paris.
感觉在看花木兰+功夫熊猫，元素杂糅，自以为是的中国风，花里胡哨的颜色，老套的故事
画风依旧冷冽、暗黑和血腥，但已然没了前作的精致考究，史上最寒碜的王子复仇记，空有影像，毫无内涵。
就从来没在这类型的内容里看到过干干净净的北欧人。皱着脸看完的，一句fokk都没有，笑不出来，不能否认有着强烈的美感。复仇题材能写得让人想要两边都活着，就是好的。不过仇人们在瓦尔哈拉相见了怎么办。
I guess this is what peak testosterone looks like...killing people and fucking women. The casting is exceptional, though it inevitably feeds into racism (as it probably was back in 600AD: the bastard is black-haired, everyone else blonde. Desirable women and bearers of kings can also look like Björk, no?
外媒口碑爆棚而中国口碑遇冷的最大原因是文化差异，这种基于历史传奇的神话色彩浓厚的类似于莎翁舞台剧情节对白的电影并不适合中国观众。但不否认它可能是明年奥斯卡的大热候选。两个多小时的复仇简单直接猛烈血腥，是直男式的史诗般作品，加上神秘主义和宗教色彩的融合，看的像是一场关于命运轮回的幻术。
今年我最喜欢的动作片，纵然是老套的王子复仇记，但是这是我想看到用影像拍出进入英灵殿，我不是北欧人但是这部电影让我看到了北欧人、北欧宗教、北欧仪式感，美丽的冰岛让我相信这就是北欧人。喜欢整体的仪式感的营造、构图光影的美感，但是剧情的薄弱人物塑造上的羸弱，动作场面虽设计感但是不能满足，太多夜场打斗还是看不清，对我来说最失望的还是r级动作片拍的遮遮掩掩不够r级，整体依然瑕不掩瑜。正如前作《灯塔》去拍克苏鲁这部《北欧人》拍的是英灵殿，主题上剧情就不是导演想拍的东西，只有奥丁、瓦尔基里、瓦尔哈拉是他的核心，成本提高之后带来的不一定是一加一等于二，有可能是0.8，当然我更喜欢《北欧人》，毕竟我是帝国时代玩家我爱精锐维京狂战士，我最爱还是《刺客信条》系列，那船歌那北欧风音乐那奥丁的石像，这就是我的菜。
内容上继承了前两部关于"在超自然影响下人之间信任的破灭"主题，但在英灵殿与宿命论的来回暗示下，最终揭其背景，最可怖的回归了迂回的人心。
第一句台词，标准普通话，一出来就愣了，山水间梁朝伟和陈法拉的“太极”邂逅直接沦陷。除了武侠风的动作戏，山海经的取材，金庸式的爱恨情仇，形神合一的内功修为，舍得救赎的思想内核，中国元素完全不仅仅是流于表面。Marvel十年老粉很激动，终于有了代表自己的超能英雄，亚裔也有了自己的”黑豹“。
除了冰岛的景色一无是处。。。顶多还有乔伊的美颜。。。enmmm
好风景，好摄影，好屁股，好。。。无聊！视听体验优于叙事本身。看第二章时就在嘀咕，这不就是哈姆雷特嘛？等神神叨叨&打打杀杀闹足两个小时后，好吧～这货是带有强烈莎剧感的维京版《王子复仇记》。
这个复仇的故事太接地气了，解读性就少了，反而不利于Robert Eggers的发挥，毕竟因为文化隔离的存在，哈姆雷特的故事在你国土壤是真的不受待见。发疯的Nichole算是唯一亮点吧。
安雅好看捏~。剧情的叙述方式和莎翁剧差不多，先预言再通过实际行为去印证，最终导出结果。复仇的题材很多，主要是看故事的包装，但这部剧情上的包装也过于粗糙。不够引人入胜和曲折。玩过刺客信条英灵殿之后对于维京或者北欧人的生活（衣食住行，神明祭祀种种）和战斗的展现也见怪不怪，没什么新意。摄影和取景非常棒，导演的审美不戳。地狱之门的对决以及白马入英灵殿的桥段拍的最有意境和特色。两星半吧，如果没看过其它北欧人题材的电影可以给到三星到三星半。
7/10 摄影配乐牛逼 巨幕观看冲击力强 试图入睡多次被吵醒 一贯的暴力美学风格 无奈剧情太弱 较前作也有不少妥协之处
熊与狼的力量在体内翻涌，总有神明指引着复仇之路。国王想要死在战场却躲不过弟弟的冷箭，神剑想要嗜血吞心在火山口斩草除根夺回属于自己的一切。从迷到信，哪有什么神明，不过是你在乎的东西支配着灵魂，让信念支撑着维京血脉。
导演与片方的撕扯总是没有好的结果，脱离了A24制作上的把控本片提供的视听效果完全败给去年更加纯粹的《绿衣骑士》，冰岛远景的长镜头摄影毫无新意。本来期待罗伯特·艾格斯与安雅的再次合作，安雅却完全沦为了港陆合资片里的大陆女演员，纯纯的女工具人范本，献出的裸背毫无惊艳可言。直到最后两裸男在地狱之门前的盘肠大战，也只能带来一个哈欠。
故事好瞎哦，原来是北欧版王子复仇记，可是他老妈比哈姆雷特的老妈毁三观多了，更不谈那个结局了。。。想看北欧维京人故事的可以看美剧维京传奇和维京传奇衍生剧英灵殿，战争权谋宫斗，个人觉得各方面都比这个拍得好。
比起女巫，虽然更加主流，但古典而暴烈的底色依然战胜了更高投资带来的期许压力。与此同时更是期望有更多像新蝙、沙丘抑或本片这样极力雕琢视听的商业精品，不媚俗，更不陡立门槛：毕竟电影本身就是视听的艺术，同时也是依附于商业的载体—-studios和artists的斗争或许是永恒的，但无穷的创造力不就是在不断妥协中诞生的吗。
这不就是性转版本的“地狱之刃：塞娜的复仇”…这种北欧神话风格还真是挺怀念 众神低语…果然北欧人均精神病
真的是我的取向狙击，极致的肉体野蛮中生出的极致的精神浪漫，献给莎翁的情书
野蛮低能 又臭又长 制作的华丽也无法掩盖故事的空洞 这都什么年代了 谁在乎什么狗屁国王荣耀啊 大家都是普通人 都有自我意识 你搁这想感动谁呢？
