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.
当埃德加赖特将关注视角放置在女性身上时深刻感受到了至少是心理性别带来的理解隔阂//霓虹灯强烈的视觉效果却没有77版《阴风阵阵》直观上的惊悚效果 全片最惊悚的还是年代更迭之后女性依然互为镜像依然逃不出以男性主导的权力控制而她们的奋力挣扎与反抗依然是如此无力甚至会显出某种反应性的歇斯底里//前奏过长 到中段已经疲倦不堪 还好最终落点足够用力 不然整片将陷入导演无法掌控的拖沓和无趣//和1的远程观影
前半段基本就是文艺剧情片，大量冗长无用的对白只有豆瓣的文青能够看得乐不可支，作为一部英国电影这算是老传统了，紧凑是什么对于他们来说完全不重要，秀肌肉才是他们想要做的事情，但是对于一个爱看纯粹惊悚恐怖的观众来说真是受了大罪了，要忍受过前面大量穿插的废话以及桥段然后才会呈上大餐。看很多豆瓣文青对前半段大夸特夸，并大言不惭地表示“后半段垮掉了”真是好笑，你爱看文艺片就去挑几部文艺片看呗，这部电影走向还是惊悚为主，你说后半段垮掉了，那要不要给你们再跳一小时的舞唱两小时的歌才算不垮呢？豆瓣这种群体实在可笑，跑惊悚片来装文艺，去服装店买皮鞋，说多有病就有多有病。
如果说Baby Driver质量欠佳但依然是一部纯正的Edgar Wright影片，那么本片就可以正式宣布他作为一个auteur的死亡。曾经赖以成名的剪辑风格完全丧失不见，标志性的英式幽默也荡然无存，但对铅黄风格的模仿让前两幕至少字面意义的好看，直到第三幕的彻底崩塌：影片高潮极其拧巴的处理以及完全画蛇添足的尾声。可惜了戴安娜·瑞格女爵士完美的谢幕演出
就以为是恐怖片然后带本来已经挺尴尬的dating对象去看了。。结果这个大型恐男厌男现场。。两个人看完回家路上已经可以说是相对无言了。。优秀。。
前后端撕裂严重，出色的表现主义影像和OST也改变不了剧情的单薄
看到我们学校的logo大剌剌地打在屏幕上，且多处硬广（如信的logo、学生卡挂绳等），由衷地感到尴尬。以及这是伦敦时装学院的校区，并不是圣马丁。故事直白得生怕观众理解力不过关，艺术家追梦、男性凝视、艺人潜规则…用一种老套的方式呈现出来，而影片高潮纠结混乱的处理方式是最泄气的点，观众以一种极其矛盾的心情试图感受人物弧光，结果大失所望。不理解女主感情线的作用，最后时装秀的作品相当敷衍了事，可惜了讲究的灯光、配乐和布景，唯一的收获是种草了那件white vinyl trench coat。另外当成伦敦soho夜景打卡还挺有趣的，在soho的影院看完出来立刻能看到电影中的取景，沉浸感挺强
歌舞惊悚片……现在恐怖片都这么内卷了吗，什么花活都用的上
几年前大卫·芬奇就已经把抹脖子拍成那样了，现在这立意倒退步保守得近乎平庸乏味了。
Edgar这部跟极盗车神性质差不多，歌好听和物理上的好看。拍的很好，下次不要拍了。
那么你就会看到《奇奇蒂蒂：救援突击队》。（怪不得你俩比不上另三只花栗鼠火哈！！！
真的不懂Edgar Wright是怎么写出这个剧本的…
两星半，作为惊悚片过得去（导演优势），作为悬疑片不及格（剧作缺陷），梦境/幻像的铺展毫无悬念感，房东身份的反转在前情里找不到一点映照，无论符号层面还是视听层面，警察作为烟雾弹真的纯粹只是为了迷惑观众，女主角的专业跟主线表达完全脱钩，无脸鬼魂们寻求救赎的真实意图揭示跟此前一直被用来制造恐怖的功能对照起来成了一个尴尬的冷笑话，至于伦敦的城市性格，大概在片尾字幕里终于被想起来了。

原来这东西还真有老动画..?迪士尼自家的版权就是可以瞎玩梗，真好啊。
埃德加·赖特视听上的派头还是好，肉眼可见地从不少恐怖惊悚经典里汲取养分，但问题其实和Baby Driver一样，技术的圆滑更衬出灵光不再的尴尬。剧作是基本做到环环相扣了，但真的无甚惊喜。结尾的设计能强烈感受到女编剧的存在感，卷土重来的父权亡灵乞求“正义”，但无法缔结同盟的女性仍能相互共情，复仇的罪孽就留给火海涤清。
里面已经说了，伦敦每一个房间，街头都有鬼魂。而这，就是一个关于伦敦的鬼魂的故事。风格也不错，不过，感觉也是想说的太多，尤其是结尾的处理，实在是有些无趣了。
童年的英雄，很高兴再看到你们。
太离谱了，你以为是girls help girls,结果是仇男，然后又变成平权（？），然后又是离谱女权？最后那段呲牙咧嘴的鬼说一句“help”直接笑出声。女主憨批圣母设定真的是太讨人厌了，前一个半小时神级开局，好好看，如果保持这个感觉，定位成时尚+悬疑恐怖应该会很精彩吧, 现在整一个究极缝合怪，什么都讲不清楚
1小飞侠和索尼克算是被毁了…
有时候“对味”的感觉真是妙不可言；虽然这个恐怖故事的“恐怖”非常小儿科，但电影的氛围和调调太迷人了，癫狂也如此自信昂扬，疯魔也如此惊艳万方，在纸醉金迷和灯红酒绿的堕落中，一袭殷红魅影噬魂般的游荡与嗅探，所到之处凝固了时间，尘封了悔恨，收殓了罪恶，最终在地狱之火里褪去了束缚，解脱了秘辛，回归了自由，结局虽平淡却也算完美。//PS. 运镜与配乐非常棒，安雅简直是人间尤物的存在。
