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.
有好看的地方，可圈可点
要啥没啥
大部分时间都是黑漆漆的，没啥亮点，太普通了。
剧情拖沓无燃点，演技公式无亮点，满屏大雪都像在大东北，满目工具人毫无感觉，这部电影如果没有范伟，只配打1星，也因为是有了范伟，使得本片多了一丝悲壮。
故事不是拯救人类了，是救老婆了。
电影中设置了不少 callback ，有巧思，起到了推进观众情绪的作用
又想悬疑，又想动作，又想枪战，同时还想装逼，结果就是毫无节奏和带入
不难看，就是太无聊了，半个小时的内容，整整拍出两个小时也是一种本事吧。。
当下观众不吃那一套了，于是《铁道英雄》依托着真实故事，来了一部质感更佳也更符合当下语境的抗日电影。
这玩意的真正片名应该叫《黑客帝国22周年重聚特辑》
很“元”，各种意义上的。开篇调侃华纳，中间调侃观众，最后调侃自己，从数字媒介到女性议题，从娱乐至死到催眠洗脑，侃来侃去还真的侃出了些颇具时效性的思考，算是对上个十年人们共同探讨的一些大母题做出了回应。诚然动作戏难看（如果那些升格和抽帧不是为了解构前三部的话就实在是太蠢了），但这也好像是作者的有意为之，毕竟这么多年过去了，她似乎变得比任何人都更相信“爱”，更相信“实体”的重要性，所以你看，虚拟世界中的奇淫巧技皆是虚无，有真实温度的“触碰”才是永恒，宇宙大爆炸的起点不过就是“两只紧紧握在一起的手”，它们属于Trinity和Neo，它们也同样属于我们。
远低于预期，故事很平很散，甚至如同嚼蜡，偶尔紧张的片段几乎无一例外都戛然而止。但也有为数不多的优点：没给小日本鬼子降智，范伟演技是看点。最后<弹起我心爱的土琵琶>让我湿了眼眶。 论剧情最多两星，但因为范伟的演技值得多一颗星！
多一星给范伟的演技。
很好看又很可惜。好看是因为每位演员演绎带感，特别是范伟，所以到了泪点高潮段可以自然释放情绪，甚至最后令人唏嘘。可惜是没看梗概前期都有点看不明白，实在太平，平到快40分钟才让人觉得“这有点意思啊”。带这种豪华队伍，我觉得导演需要再加把劲了。
格局与内涵（从对机械未来的恐惧/缸中之脑/福柯存在主义哲学等，降格为《失控玩家》？《新全面回忆》？“和世界对抗只为与旧爱人妻一起飞”？），
就是拍得很无趣呀，范伟OK。不如编剧导演好好再看看几十年前的地道战。
能细品的两个镜头
当时在影院看到海报还挺期待，现在庆幸没有去影院。就这点故事硬是能拍2个小时，人物没弧光故事没新意，武戏很差。
4.在临城却有从头下到尾的大雪。本来是增强浪漫和严寒天气的助力器，结果显得画蛇添足，多此一举。
先不提meta策略的有效性（《双峰：回归》曾经给我们作了榜样），失败之处在于它本应该是关于空间的电影，但却变成了心理现实主义电影（甚至连反派人物都从“建筑师”变成了“心理咨询师”）；诚然，在《矩阵革命》的结尾，尼奥和史密斯在雨夜中毫无意义但又无比炫酷地打了十分钟的架后，沃卓斯基对于设计动作不再感兴趣，任凭其沦为好莱坞程式化的“无影像”，连续性的武打节奏变成了高速剪辑的碎片、飞溅的爆炸物和人体形状的残块，正如某角色所言，它失去了曾经的“优雅”，Matrix变得张牙舞爪，直白到吓人地展示其武装暴力与愚民策略的恐怖；因此，即便当沃卓斯基将主题切回到尼奥和崔妮蒂的爱时，这些连带的拖泥带水之物让捕捉这些情感变得不大可能（而这点在前作里就做得更好）。
