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.
看得我破口大笑，痛哭流涕…妈妈想不明白，但是妈妈奋不顾身要去每一个宇宙找你。故事gist真的很简单，但是怎么能这么飞这么炫…还很整全…太喜欢joy的长相身型了。杨紫琼太有灵魂了，简直想不出来如果不是她能是谁。想妈妈，想和妈妈一起看，为了妈妈也要好好活着。但我妈肯定：你看你就是我的讨债鬼～😭
东亚的父母，只有变成石头的时候，才会为操控子女而道歉。
有一些超出预料的东西跃动在银幕之上，尤其“形式”建立所涉及的媒介自反、维度交互与灵魂通感几乎在一些单场戏里形而上到了《EVA》的程度。但问题也就随之而来，“内容”搭载的真正落脚点在于一种“家庭和解式”价值观输出，这种输出看似普世，但也指向了某种东方式训诫，而创作者对于这种束缚的态度是有些暧昧不明的。当然，最有趣的是，主人公“秀莲”（是的，就是这个名字）几乎完全站在杨紫琼本人的对立面，也因此，当“杨紫琼”本人出现时，主人公似乎就成为了一种“客体化”存在，而在主体和客体不断交互与争夺的过程中，“载体”逐渐变得不重要，一切精神力的集合，最终还是导向了“爱”。而杨紫琼本人，应该也会因为这个角色而更加坚定自己在现在身处“宇宙”选择的道路。
观感很好，脑洞很大，我一直着迷的every母题呈现得很好。但用爱为借口去粉饰认命，用和解去认同回归中对自我的抹杀，完全是一种美化后的旧路，并没有人真的得到自由和自我。
这什么玩意儿？八十年代的美国中式家庭吗？挺简单的主旨拍的乱七八糟。这TM也叫天马行空？千万别上中国院线，纯属骗钱！
有非常多的影迷梗，致敬了很多的电影，在这里就不一一细数了。本作本身作为功夫奇幻喜剧，算不上神作，但完全能用“才华横溢”来形容，天马行空，想象力爆棚，剪辑技术炸裂，这是一种从未有过的，全新电影体验！脑洞发散到无止境，一切的混沌归根究底还是收束到普世价值观的层面——
满分大麻电影，反大女主的救赎电影，主题成人化+Z世代烟火气，这种双重定位和形式夸张可能会导致本片主题被低估。——行无相而度众生，是菩萨行。
游走在严肃与无厘头之间的那条细线上还能玩得如此花里胡哨，真的是怎么吹都不过分了
看了5天才看完，豆瓣推出负一星吧，只有负一星才能治疗我看这片尬出的内伤，脚趾抓地把家里的地板都抓坏了
个人觉得电影到变成石头的时候就可以，后面中国家庭式的团结和好太理想化了，父母和孩子之间的矛盾并不是通过说教才能化解。
真正的东亚和解：饭煮熟了
看看隔壁Morbius, Lost City, Uncharted之流，票房扑街的背后是灵感的枯竭。这几年好莱坞热衷于拥抱各种主义、各种套路、各种公式，已经逐渐被反噬。很久没有在大荧幕上看到这种喷薄而出的创意和天马行空了。把东方元素演绎的又丝毫不做作，把简单内核描绘的丝毫不刻意。如果今年能有比这更好的片子，那该是得有多好。
虚假的东亚和解：妈妈错了
原定17号上线，然后鸽了，再然后被偷跑了...你说这是何必，最后还是17号相见。预期太高有点小落差，前半段无聊，后半段MV无厘头剪辑花里胡哨，但也没觉得有多新鲜。演杨紫琼老公的是成龙越南分龙吗？！简直特型演员，连动作神态都像
学渣理解中的多元宇宙就像被毕加索误读的汤姆森和爱因斯坦，徒剩满屏裂碎，可毕加索好歹对着追问敢于朝天放枪，这部电影却偏偏还要絮叨地自圆其说，连石头都不允许沉默（还奢谈什么爱的包容呢）。
如果停在石头被推下去能有多好。其实作为和解题材这部已经做到很好了，但，但我们实在是看了太多太多和解了。
这不是电影，是命好题目的短视频集合。列好框架，一直打磨往里面加散装素材，最后扣题，太生硬，太学生了。
这里面不还是一样的对中国的刻板印象吗？功夫就不是刻板印象了？这简直就是B级片。
并不排斥B级片，但怕只怕B级片装深刻还带上大段说教。节奏杂乱演技稀烂台词尴尬，这些问题不是套个存在主义思辨的皮就能掩盖的。两块石头那段其实挺好的，非给你整一堆中心思想，现在的电影都生怕观众看不懂，恨不得把心肝肺掏出来写上字给你看，这可能也算是你国当代电影的一种文化输出
大家是不是对讲“爱”的电影PTSD了？塑料小眼睛才是最重要的呀！看见每个时间和每个空间不同的自己，都同样面临问题；看见每个人，敌人与爱人，都有自己的生活中具体的所爱之物。我想这不算空谈了，它讲了非常具体的事儿。让我们少谈些主义，多理解别人！是吧。
