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.
..........................................
四个故事恶趣味一脉相承，录像带元概念优秀但不出彩，而且有简化故事结构的嫌疑。故意做旧的粗糙感太过，镜头切换很无厘头。看后兄弟们一致认为3>2>1>4，我个人的顺序是1>2>4>3，有时候越是basic的恐怖故事越令人印象深刻。
区别于录像带系列的完整叙事的分段式故事。开头的神秘编号和挖眼珠营造了诡异气氛，下水道硫酸鼠人＋守灵女孩遇诈尸＋疯博士人机实验＋反动派生物见光死炸弹＋呼应开头的“看录像必死”诅咒。分段叙事前三个故事都还不错，气氛＋叙事到位，吸血鬼炸弹那个设定没看懂。整体属于完成不错的B级片
短评有一位说到了点子上，伪纪录的精华在于恐怖点的“藏”，不仅是拍摄者的让观众身临其境的“藏”，也在于对未知事物的直白特写的“藏”。而这部作品明显只做到了观感的酣畅淋漓。
《守灵》、《鼠人》最佳，印尼那个属于自嗨，和主题根本不搭。
电影的做旧感很好得加深了它的恐怖感！看完实验室那个片段得停下来缓缓，真的太恐怖了。
缝合怪内容，缝合怪电影。四个短片，下水道鼠人+守灵丧尸+缝合怪机械人+沙雕团灭。只有第三个值得看，其它就随便看看吧。而且3也是比较忠实借助VHS的手法，怪博士整合出一系列缝合怪，和人类队伍对抗，用铁头女的VHS记录双方战斗和自己的痛苦。重金属暴力蒸汽朋克，血浆里是女孩的无奈，4星。其它2星，平均3
鼠人部分和科教频道中大真探系列里面的“蜥蜴人”有的一拼，甚至还恶搞了九头蛇的口号，创意不错。
为了续集而续集，几个故事之前更没有前几部的贯穿性，越往后越无聊，倦了，累了。
四个简单而混乱的噩梦，立意到表现都没啥优点，只能卖个邪典复古的人设了。
依然保持那种录像带画质增加纪实真实感，一个总故事串联四个小故事，还是最喜欢第三个那个实验机器姬视角的，恐怖血腥暴力是主打。
几个故事都挺无聊的，也就第二个机器人的故事还稍好一点
基本都是怪异秀，鼠人，机器人，丧尸，吸血鬼什么的，只是用另一种不同的方式呈现，重塑的点子，一次两次还好，多了就有点油腻了
几个故事的恐怖血腥程度也都还可以（除了最后一个搞不太清楚），但就是画质全程保持录像带的质感实在太难以观看，模糊的质感看的头晕，看完全片都没看清任何一个演员的脸
第三个故事不错，博士改造杀人机器，失踪的女孩还有意识，军人小哥良知对冲 。。
血腥程度够用就是画质太垃，非得用伪纪录片的拍摄方式干什么呢，拍的乱七八糟
港真其实没必要非得弄个从头串到尾的故事在中间儿做衔接...
这风格，i了了。看到画面 我退出重新确认了一下文件大小，确实一个多GB
纯正的邪典的味儿，它回来了！鼠人、守灵夜、人机合一、囚禁吸血鬼，依然是印尼那part最佳！21.10.24
本来打算做字幕给大家的，可惜精力有限，没做完，交给BtoZ群里的朋友接手了，字幕今晚发。 说说片子，挺好看，希望这个系列一直走下去。
