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.
有点好哭，我真的很喜欢那个站在台上不停发光的梅艳芳，她说不能缺席演唱会，她说我要做的事情一定会做...作品只是人生的一部分，梅艳芳为人处世的态度，对待自己作品的珍惜，让她真正地嫁给了舞台，致敬一代巨星！
比较冲击人心的是张国荣去世的那件事，但说真的，这感动本身是由事而起，跟电影又有什么关系呢。
生晚了一点，没来得及接受梅姐时代的港文化熏陶。传记电影的作用，除了尊重史实以外更大的使命应该是打开我这样无知路人对人物和时代产生兴趣的窗口吧。但，这个片的窗口，半开不开的，有点尴尬。其中的历史影像资料看起来会更舒心一些。
无论是梅艳芳还是张国荣粉丝都不愿意买账的电影
看完后走出影院，眼前还一帧一帧掠过银幕上的画面。作为一个之前对梅艳芳毫无了解的人，看了这部电影，已然爱上她。
不了解梅艳芳的人，看完这种流水账，估计也不能加深对她的感情。太了解梅艳芳的人，真的没有必要看本片。
拍得好平庸无聊，男主选角不喜欢，好干瘪又驼，没什么魅力演得也不吸引人，多米诺和男主妈妈都很美（一看演职员..导演就是男主…

吃饭的时候断续看完的，结尾太墨迹了，确实像林克莱德，前面台词很精彩，导演兼主演有些才华，Joseph长得不像律师，像瑞典足球运动员或者帮派成员。
Prob the cringiest this yr
曾遇上几多风雨翻，曾遇你真心的臂弯。对“香港的女儿”的缅怀，要客观评价不那么容易，有遗憾，作为传记片手法上平淡，但原型已经足够耀眼，夕阳之歌唱响每个瞬间直让人唏嘘。王丹妮年轻时期表演更具体，做到了形似而有自己见地
先天缺失+后天乏力，内容上极为保险，拍法上更是无趣。我不明白此时此刻推出《梅艳芳》的动机是什么，创作者应该很清楚，要在现有的环境下呈现梅艳芳的完整人生，最佳的形式是纪录片。
虽然没有赵文卓和近藤真彦（可能被改编成后藤了）的那段，也没有某些风骨事件的展现，但我也不是那么八卦，能看到梅姐的精神还是很欣慰的。就是喜欢这样的女人。
well... 一般般 get不太到就是说
拍传记真是一件难事，梅艳芳，绝代芳华，同样也是普通人一个，怎么讲这个故事都有被攻击的可能性，导演算是带着虔诚与善良完成这部电影了。故事里阿梅的仗义、大方，对公益的热衷，对演艺事业的热爱，以及她不太幸福的童年都有了。印象最深刻的还是演唱会上的婚纱，《夕阳之歌》也很让人泪目。当然粉丝还是会有一些更多的期待吧，难以提及的江湖往事，在这一部里是没有体现的，嫁给事业时代巨星，大梦一场。
大概是最愚蠢的一种剧本做法，简陋到梅艳芳年表式流水账，后半段拍得也很敷衍。吃相最难看的，大概就是纪录影像和电影素材的混剪，不断提醒着观众——王丹妮和导演只不过是一部本应更真实更卖座纪录片可怜的赝品。可悲的是，我明知这一切是在消费记忆，消费那逝去时代和那些故人，但不免仍会动情，仍会唏嘘怅惘。仍会更愿意活在这电影里，而非当下。
梅姐是个很有故事性的人，可惜导演只拍出了故事没拍出故事背后的“性”，或者说本质。好巧不巧昨天正好看了《阮玲玉》，珠玉在前，这部真是相形见绌。
我挺能理解多米诺的
从童年到92年期间几乎一出现经典歌就泪目，一出现演唱会场景就激动，但电影对掌掴事件淡化得很厉害，当年可是重磅炸弹，两个黑帮成员死于非命，传梅姐花8位数字才平息事件，后来向太也曾提起当晚事情经过。复出后的梅姐的确身体越来越不好，到哥哥自杀那里观众席好多啜泣声，最后用演唱会婚纱夕阳之歌结束，再度泪目。她真的是一个义气仔女，有几句台词挺深刻也贯穿她一生。“前辈提携后辈是天经地义”、“如果遇到肯学的，就好好去教”，还有她和哥哥都说过的那句“你会记得我吗？”
一边想吐槽演员演得不像，一边也不太忍心，毕竟梅姐和哥哥这两位传奇人物就是因为这么难以复制才难得，所以估计谁来扮演都会差那么几分气质。看完这部，感受到这差距确实还是很大，所以，并不期待张国荣传，用真实画面剪个纪录片就够我们老泪纵横了。
