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.
熟悉的台词密度，果不其然是索金的手笔，但没想到他的片子也会沦落到需要演员去捞的程度，剧本确实太一般了。作为男女主双提，巴登的感觉相对差一些，妮可基德曼毕竟戏里戏外两副面孔，有点交了两张卷子的感觉，会加一些分。影后8，影帝6
今年的最后一部电影，庆幸看到了今年最佳的一个结尾——妮可愣神的那20秒，可以说是剧本创作中最美妙的一刻了。
站在现在真的很难理解为什么有那么好的机会的情况下要坚持desi来演丈夫…一种时代的无语吧
我不了解索德伯格 也还没看《性谎言录像带》 但一个60后导演的新片镜头质感新潮且把女主出家门那段（仅针对女主一人心理上）的紧张感表现得挺到位 感觉难能可贵
本质还是一个女权故事啦 层层叠叠的元素交织看的很爽 妮可演的真的很不错 真挚动人 于细节处见深度
尼克奶奶都快退休了，可这小脸蛋儿拉皮拉得减了三十岁啊🤔
不是说故事就不行或者没意义，但Sorkin你嚷啥？整个制作看似精良实则多余，没有给观众代入的空间~说到底，Sorkin看不起他的观众，不过当要讲的是时代精神，自由抗争的时候，观众有耐心忍下傲慢仔细探寻也给一点credit，当讲的是好莱坞自high的舞台背后家常里短，想要见微知著的时候，观众只会感觉到Sorkin的自我感动和自以为是~
关于婚姻的电影，很喜欢这种电影结果。妮可·基德曼 和哈维尔·巴登 都奉献了自己的演技。
成本非常低，情节十分简单。既不流畅，又不紧张。十分钟的短片足够了！很难理解这么大牌的导演，拍这么小的题材。这种简单剧本给新手练手就好。
看什么都不知道。。。
2022.01.14. 个人很喜欢Aaron Sorkin的剧本：主线的《我爱露西》片场五日 + 辅线对Lucille Ball夫妇过去的不断闪回；主线是Lucille Ball在那个敏感年代面临被爆料是共产党员的巨大危机，辅线是丈夫“疑似”出轨的婚姻危机。这样四个维度的交织在剧本的设计和处理上做的都很好，片场五日的小高潮一个接一个，剧情还是非常紧凑的。在《每时每刻》和《兔子洞》之后，难得见到妮可如此精彩的演出，祝颁奖季好运。
7/10。我要向史蒂文·索德伯格道歉，我以为是新人导演拍的哈哈哈，也侧面说明了老导演心态年轻啊。逃亡一段镜头语言极佳，把头发染成红色就是罗拉快跑了。《后窗》的玻璃被打破了一角，折射出后疫情时代人与人的光墙，我追求的就是这类疫情商业片。反杀很爽，却没有特爽，总觉得还可以玩更多花活。
索德伯格的电影永远自带学霸气质，就像是一篇不偏不倚论证通透的论文一样，让人只想鼓掌大赞一声summa cum laude.👏
我就是很爱艾伦索金
3.5 整个剧情走向非常诡谲魔幻带些讽刺，最后反杀确实也是爽歪歪。
紧随时代潮流的索德伯格，给多少钱办事也不糊弄，低成本照样高效产出，常规类型化框架内依然可以凭借反套路剧情，晃动的手持镜头制造紧张感和窒息感。不到90分钟的体量，一些角色的置入是多余的，最后反杀虽然爽快，也难免摆脱不了降智的设定。
其实就剧本层面并不觉得索金拉了。可能相比非常有话题性的大审判，一个情景喜剧女演员如何面对白色恐怖和家庭情感并不让人感兴趣
Nicole kidman这脸都快认不出了。。这电影中间时间线看得一度很混乱
这次的剧本有点离谱了，完全看不清索金的侧重点是什么，在最后的高潮戏中，究竟是身份问题还是婚姻问题占据主导，索金显然困于电车问题而导致两者皆抓。并且，电影虽然以一周工作时间展开，但是它顾及的方方面面太多太多，不加解释的插叙与时间线的断裂，老人们坐在那里侃侃而谈的预告转场也是毫无必要。
非常需要耐性，如果不是妮可的话完全看不下去，好在后面渐入佳境…
