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.
故事比较老套，结局中途就已经猜到了。有趣的元素很多，但最后呈现出的故事却有点无聊。心理医生的伤疤由来没有交代，老头究竟干过什么没有交代，pete的死到底是怎么回事没有交代。影片一开始的镜头就让人出戏，一个男人费力把一具用袋子装起来的尸体拖到屋子中间，翻进屋中间的坑里，然后……他点了把火把整个屋子烧了！？？？？你既然要烧屋子，你为什么还要挖坑，还要把尸体装袋，还要把它扔到坑里？？？你就直接点不就行了？
请这么好的演员，拍得这么差，用互联网黑话说就是：ROI太低！
值得一看，但要夸真夸不出什么来，中规中矩的良心制作吧，也只能这样说。
寂寂无名的男人stan ，没有珍惜自己的机会，被欲望所淹没，在杂技团里利用前两个女性，无意酒给Pete反而害死了pete，那是的Stan还有些良心和愧疚，但随着时间的推移，Stan 贪婪越发的膨胀，一步一步，最终玩火上身，把最爱他的Molly 也伤透了，Stan害死了自己的父亲，天道轮回，最终自己亲手把自己变成了怪物。
陀螺最大的优势在于能赋予影片出色的视觉设计与氛围，最大的缺点则是精致的画面下空洞的表达内容。其不知取舍过于冗长的铺陈段落如若在最后不能累积绽放，那对于观众就是煎熬。 2.5
尽搞些花哨东西，故事都没讲清，比老版逊色太多了
故事不错，但真没必要这么长，马戏团部分1个小时大可不必。陀螺你还是去搞环太2吧... | 大魔王“I‘ll live.’”
美工依然是标致性的陀螺style，配乐稍满，不如the shape of water，另节奏实过于拖沓了。
前后呼应还是可以的 男主最终成为了他口中没有soul的geek 但是凯特那个Doctor角色的行为动机真的有点不清晰 还有说的很厉害的那个2号客人那段剧情很虎头蛇尾 把自己的女友叫来装鬼魂 一秒破功是什么鬼？而且这样的大老板竟然被男主这个骗子在自己的地盘赤手空拳打死？头号手下被他用车撞死？总觉得过于敷衍
三星多一点吧，还是可以看的，毕竟大魔王一出场，再美的小花也立刻被秒杀了。那样的厚唇冷脸，谁不想去亲吻一下？而这永远是一个聪明人的天下。
为啥才6.7？虽然戏剧舞台味道过重但跟传奇色彩还是很契合的啊！拍摄不错，表演也不错。整体故事虽然你大概能悟道and有点长，但都不失为一部好电影呀。
可以想象原版应该是部很酷的黑色电影，新版2个半小时真的又臭又长，高潮部分几乎一笔带过，显得莫名其妙，陀螺这回栽了大跟头。
我以为我是来代餐的，哪知道这150分钟我是来看中年白男的人生起伏的。除了大魔王的一些高光瞬间之外这片没有什么拿得出手的。有这个时间我就应该重温《卡罗尔》而不是在电影院憋尿。
陀螺何苦又何必翻拍这。前面不到一小时的马戏团部分显然是最好的，各种奇幻蒙太奇轮番亮相，但作为铺垫又是冗长的，两年后的叙事迅速泄气，大魔王也无法救场，而且跟鲁妮玛拉的对手戏就几句话就没了？定位有偏差，想制作一部古典惊悚黑色电影，但显然小题大做，也不适合如今时代（除了美学）。
AMC 没看过老版的，故事节奏很差，导致两个半小时让我觉得过于拖沓，毫无必要；马戏团真没必要着墨这么多，和后面的故事发展有很大的割裂感。其他方面都很好，有点可惜。好莱坞大概真的拍无可拍了，不是炒冷饭就是炒冷饭，还炒不好，食之无味。
现在的电影都变成两个半小时起步了吗。。。前一个多小时的铺垫真的太长了。叙事节奏慢的要不是托罗营造的精致氛围，恐怕很难看下去。大魔王的办公室也太华丽了！原来和小白兔根本没多少交集┓(´∀`)┏
华丽的空壳 属于眼睛得到了全方位享受 看完没留下任何余味的那类
也不能说特别难看，就是看起来特华丽一道菜，吃起来味同嚼蜡，怎么能有这么虚无又平庸的故事
都什么啊，拍得又长又啰嗦，每个人物都不值得可怜，感受不到情感…
大魔王到底起了个什么作用？很多没有说明白的地方，表达的也比较隐晦。
