Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

能在大荧幕上看到会让人觉得值得一活的那种作品
汉斯季默小金人+1，维伦纽瓦封神进度+20%，对原作的取舍很合适，甜茶的表现也比想象好，保罗厄崔迪前半段的纤细感和后段的转变都拿捏到位。原著党满意。
罔顾项目各方可能会产生的变数，或是过于宏大的规划最终无法与更多的人产生粘连；盲目地用「下注」的感觉来设计整个故事，显得几分鲁莽和愚钝。即使有画面与技术产生的活力，或是角色成长的把细，也难以真正实现投入。惊喜是反倒因为电影，对伴生剧集有了更多兴趣；无比失望Zendaya的生涯选择，每年都会加重这份感叹。
这是自失控玩家后，近来第二次被豆瓣评分欺骗了。作为商业片，叙事一塌糊涂，老套的宫廷斗争王子复仇戏，节奏乱因果混人物莫名其妙。忽然就幻觉，忽然就决斗，忽然就叛变，对话云里雾里，人物经常不知缘由的抽搐，大战又不够精彩，死的既不悲壮也不伤感。男主神神叨叨，不像先知，倒像嗑大了。经常给莫名其妙的人物镜头，搞的母子关系总看着怪怪的。剧情毫无悬念，几分钟讲完的事愣是拖几十分钟，都看困了。
千万别看3d，我看的2d imax都嫌暗，大量室内或夜晚或凌晨的昏暗场景。我提前看了几十页原著，确实很难被改编，原著中玄秘的长远战略、精妙的计谋应对、利益的复杂交错，人心的幽微，在电影中都很难明确呈现，维伦纽瓦也的确没拍出多少，两个半小时就演了这么一丁点内容。可是能说它慢吗，细致吗？它又快到前面众多人物走马灯一样没有内心。这个性冷淡电影里只剩下最传统最古典的故事大纲，没有角色能让我共情——在原著里，海王的角色可是唱着小黄歌出场的。维伦纽瓦的视觉风格最适用于被统治者的视角：我靠，这么大个东西来了！到底是啥！用这种风格去看沙虫，庞大又有威慑力；但本片叙述视角多数是属于贵族统治者的，所谓天命，让恐惧感临场感都消失了。总之，感觉像看了一集星球大战，我应该不会追下去了。
这都什么年代了，还在这演这样的太空歌剧，白瞎了十块钱电影票
好的，这下我知道情人眼里出西施有多严重了。（低情商说法：脑残粉有多不可信）
果然是和银翼猎手2049一个导演 用文艺片的手法拍科幻片 汉斯季默配乐咚得我心慌 甜茶在里面太好看了 眼睛垂下仿佛有万千心事 在callmebyyourname里完全没get到他 但这个里面他美爆了 比起意大利的艳阳下他更适合在黄沙里憔悴地吃土
維倫紐瓦似乎不太會拍動作戲，打到過家家一樣。氛圍處理依舊得心應手，在視覺上塑造出古典龐大的史詩氣概，但故事實在依舊是短板，很多時候沒什麼核心事件發生，就是在猛懟視覺音效配樂，至少有半個小時時間有虛張聲勢之嫌。
万万没想到，扑翼机只要一出来我就忍不住想哭，因为觉得某老师一定会喜欢这种大蜻蜓一样的飞机，一定会抓着我的手摇晃说这个东西太好玩了！旁边的人要是看到我每次看到扑翼机都在抹眼泪估计会觉得这个人有什么问题。
尽管不差，仍旧希望维伦纽瓦不要再被大片绑架。
有钱人玩过家家，硬是看出小时代那味，没有剧情的散沙，可真是一盘散沙啊
在我们的文化消费中，有多少人盲目自大，就有多少人表现得「比西方人更懂西方」。两种情境的社会心理驱动力竟殊途同归——看你把优越感建立在什么一种文化归因上。
整个世界观基本在还原西方宗教那一套吧。剧情嘛白人带着黑人奴隶去挖阿拉伯人的石油，斯拉夫人去抢，由于台湾省人叛变成功了。白人逃进沙漠阿拉伯人收留白人。
节奏缓慢，拖沓冗长。用力过猛，干拼演技。神神叨叨，无比尴尬。莫名其妙，不知所云。全片看完，不如预告。
震撼！第一次看甜茶演这么一身正气的少年，很有天选之子的感觉了，有点科幻+奇幻的结合，全程被大场面罩住，IMax前排身临其境
我好烦这种一直在铺垫大战，铺垫了两个小时一直不打，最后一个镜头是一群人向远方走去/飞去的电影。
一部真正的电影，能用上所有感受去认识一个陌生星球：视觉，听觉，触觉，嗅觉…短暂抛却现实，尽情驰骋声色；维伦纽瓦用镜头再造了厄拉科斯，那人体般的沙漠光影和深邃海浪间的沙海大虫奇观，让每个毛孔都浸泡在电影所能极尽给予的感官沉浸中，又不乏留白的余味，可以说是不负两个年度的期待。英雄折戟，祸起萧墙，写就的不单是王子复仇记，更是反英雄、反高潮的传奇；预言与梦境不单是少年呓语，也折射出天选人格的悲悯众生，诘问命运来处。未来之幻影，古典主义之内核，当代之维伦纽瓦。
太耍赖了，应该叫《沙丘1》啊，虽然毫不意外肯定不可能一集拍完但让非原著观众可能会莫名其妙吧。牛蛙是爱甜茶的，拍那么帅，纵观他前作，都是瘦弱病娇又强有力的主角，合作简直是命定的。对原著的忠诚堪称让人感动，我看的时候都产生幻觉了，好几次以为看过这片儿，说明把我看书时脑中的镜像拍出来了，铺陈用心，但有些配角塑造得有些潦草，可以理解。音乐一大败笔，毫无想象力，满得让人撑得慌，别让老头出来坑钱了。还有就是镜头设计太平，剪辑比较无效，尤其不懂留白，很多原本应该击中的中二嗨点过早暴露，牛蛙太直男了，一些细腻抓人的东西他不爱玩儿也玩儿不来。美术做挺足的，合格的奇幻冒险片儿，高糖饮料的饱腹感。
缓慢的节奏，大段大段的闪回，看似很高大上，其实掩盖不了剧情的薄弱，显得非常的空洞，果然成书于上世纪五六十年代的科幻书，到如今已经显得落伍了，而导演并没有能加入什么新鲜的元素，虽然知道这是一部太空歌剧类型的电影，但看到科技如此发达的地方竟然还在使用冷兵器战斗，就感到违和感十足，唯一的看点也就是那只沙虫特效了，总体还是比较失望的
