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.
三星半。很美化这位“国王”了，传记类又几乎没有拍缺点，唯一无法回避的污点也是一笔带过温情收场。看后面的真实片段，主演模仿得很像，这种浓重的爹味的确给混乱环境中的家庭成员以保护。我这种根本不关注网球的人都知道这两姐妹，只是没想到大小威是真的姐妹。确实牛逼。
因为我自己看网球，所以本片比其他传记片有更多打动我的地方。Richard Williams本就是争议人物，在艺术化的加工下，Will Smith成功演出一个在康普顿埋头培养两个女儿成为世界第一网球选手的父亲、一个自负又独断的领导者、一个把精神健康文化水平为人处世看得比胜利金钱重要的男人，希望奥斯卡圆梦。无论如何，威廉姆斯姐妹是成功的，为世界上的女性尤其黑人女性带去的重大意义溢于言表，但她们的成功之路绝非随便可以复制。三星半
Will Smith演得确实不错，但作为一部将近两个半小时的电影高光点并不足，像Queen之前的传记片一样把重点放到了本来就有全面纪录的赛场上。
这样的体育片岂止是不如陈可辛，甚至在态度和反思上也不及最近的我心飞扬。
套路痕迹有点明显 但是good entertainment
（对我来说所有奥提中这个排倒数第二
最后又打俄国人。但输了……这点比俄罗斯电影好；黑人赢了，内讧到和解的过程……家人的判断选择，但没有体现这个运动的美……还是会感动。
一般，乏善可陈，很“正常”的一部传记。没有惊喜。
名字起的太烂了，叫暴君理查德都比较好。大威小威真的是我们这个年代的明星了，看她们的故事感触颇深。故事中塑造的父亲形象没有那么的伟光正，比起《当幸福来敲门》，更显的真实。运动片自带的上场紧张感真是好用。
搞不懂亦碰不得，代际关系欠沟通。
（看完才知道这个父亲现实生活中私生子一大堆还家暴，电影还属于过度美化了…
国王理查德=大小威父亲，用近乎专制的父爱指导家里的女孩们，要么好好学习好好打球，要么沦落街头被警察抓走，以强大的自信颠覆各种固有的球星培养路线，好在他的策略是有效的，且两个女孩都非常争气。很佩服他要求女儿坚持学习的想法，但整条路有借鉴意义吗？我打了个问号。
搞不懂亦碰不得，代际关系欠沟通。
回到影片 威尔史密斯拿影帝的作品 把一个有理想有抱负的成熟男人演得不错 虽然我不觉得这是他演技的巅峰 但对于一个成名已久且多次提名的演员 在今年这个竞争不激烈的年份拿了也就拿了。
黑人，双网球名将之父，精明，偏执，独裁，自大又自卑，爱家又滥情——传主的身份和性格精准地迎合了新时代获奖传记片大数据。剧作延展也在预料之中：网球不过是个壳子，内核还是家庭和种族。
对于威尔史密斯的偏爱我想要打高分，但是剧情并不足以打动人，虽然看上去是一个网球版《摔跤吧爸爸》，但是那种关于梦想和努力的元素实在太少，更多的还是表现理查德这个国王计划孩子们未来和成长的故事。

Be funny when you can
小孩子的思维总是自由自在，而大人的思维总是拘束在一个紧缩的空间，从小孩子的角度看世界，有些奇思妙想是长大后遗忘的，所以和他们相处，如果能认真地对待他们，也能渐渐地发现自己丢失掉的东西，小孩子从你那得到的爱，同样也会回馈给自己。
不觉得史皇能拿下小金人 这电影也过于平淡了
