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.
动作场面一般！黑列宁有点意思！😁既然是前传，儿子玩死了（此场景导演别出心裁，战壕救战友一路开挂，你以为开挂？终点挨炮弹，战友死了，你以为猪脚成英雄，砰，被自己人当做间谍干掉了😓），老子没办法亲上阵，做掉了所有坏蛋，成立了Kingman联盟！但是传承者是谁？儿子的那位换名者？
就真的扯淡～自己儿子死了，替他完成未完成成就。问题是他自带主角buff，死的也过于仓促了吧？没被枪林弹雨伤中，被战友当间谍一枪毙命。实在是不知道该说什么，真的荒谬。合着英国特工解救一切？还有这么黑列宁实在～
最后！我还是遗憾本片的「华丽」太拉了！视听控表示一本失望.....
再写下去是不是二战结束都是带嘤的功劳了？
堂皇欧战可能是几个弱智表兄弟的沙盘游戏，
给羊的镜头就知道最后肯定有她
大阴帝国保皇党？这年头还有这种怪物招摇过市？
帅儿子这条线纯吐槽，性暗示充满整部影片，美国总统怕丑闻而拒绝参战极度讽刺，黑化列宁极度扯淡，全世界仆人都听英国老绅士贵族的，一战的时候没有法国，法国…真纯扯淡。大概是不乳法，却乳法的最高境界了。最后五常加黑军需官，怎么就这么扯呢。只要不从了英国老绅士，就全是阴谋的世界么？一个全是英国头领的非英国政府的独立情报间谍组织，为了保卫世界和平，这就是NGO么？娱乐程度三颗星，值得吐槽减一到二颗。
稍微有点亮点的在战场上的那一段片段，其他剧情都乱来一通。
服化道和场景都很棒，剧情实在是稀烂，除了本身节奏切割成好几段之外，还加了很多奇怪的X暗示桥段。导演和编剧这是彻底飘了，觉得自己非常无敌，所以要通过高级的电影叙事手法来恶心人（隐姓埋名的英雄无比憋屈地被抢杀），并把周边所有国家都给嘲讽一遍？这个系列恐怕也就到此为止了。
美总统不参战是因为玛塔哈丽的仙人跳，
Cringeworthy. 而且怎么不从盘古开天辟地开始拍呢
但那样的高尚地位
不像今天是荣誉的象征
走向一种搞笑动作片的范畴了，非常适合贺岁档，尤其是电影业非常不景气的这几年
这部前传不伦不类，但是，调侃历史并非原罪，作品本身也不是纪录片（纵然纪录片也有各家观点），不能一句虚无就掀桌子。更何况本片的立意在于反战，所谓左右之争只是笑话，战争是可以被操控的。电影问题在于：作为一部快节奏间谍动作片，铺垫着实太多，等机构真正开始做事，已经直捣反派老巢了，大量篇幅被浪费在描写过度保护欲的父亲和叛逆的儿子这段关系上。精彩打斗屈指可数，比如昙花一现的拉普斯京舞蹈Battle和结尾大战（反派简直不要太好猜，极其套路）。另外，系列电影的搭档戏不见了，两个人物的反差变成了一个人物的成长，不仅牵强附会还让人觉得精分。
唉，太为难老头了，国外倒是没什么年龄歧视哈，挺羡慕的
萨维尔街的全英梅讲LORO PIANA不过是意大利最好的面料🤣所以我只对那条开司米围巾多少钱一条感兴趣，章小蕙写过一篇公众号吹的人间少有
架空歷史部分感覺不真實，但總體來說電影流暢度不差，笑點部份很多。
疫情之后少见的合格大片，动作设计非常有意思，甚至有那么一点点深度呢。
