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.
反向《流浪地球》，全人类以有意或无意的集体主义形式亲手把自己送上绝路。在这个一切皆可标签化一切皆可成为意识形态斗争工具的时代，受限于它自己的立场，它最终也无法超越自己讽刺揶揄的对象，这种电影之上、现实之下的讽刺也许更为辛辣。
电影非常胡闹，但是疫情这两年的现实更胡逼！
五分满分给4分吧。
看了好久以为电影要完了，看眼进度条正好到二分之一，崩溃了。想不通一个连讲故事都讲不好的剧本是怎么签下这么多大牌的。整个片子像好莱坞集体复盘这两年来的政治热点，还要故作讽刺和幽默。卡司阵容强大，但是感觉好拥挤，看电影居然还被迫听Ariana grande唱完一首歌。一星不能再多。
但肯定还有一拨人不会把命运寄托在那批不靠谱的人身上，而是自己去闯一条生路的。
7.0/10 分。初看，蓝光。整体挺一般的，没什么特别的大场面，不过放在疫情这两年的社会背景中，真的有点魔幻现实主义。。。最后有一个小彩蛋。。。
居然有一种欢欢喜喜过大年的感觉，小李子教授油腻鸡贼胆小最后居然良心发现演得还是蛮细腻的，甜茶是怎么做到那么丑还那么性感吸引人的呢😂求沙丘滤镜呀😂
我愿称之为这几年的讽刺疯癫之最，每一个情节都砰砰打出窟窿眼，最终一起灭绝要多爽有多爽。但从想简单活着的角度来看，我还是只求这个丧到笑出声的电影吧，他就永远只是电影的好…
没浪费卡司，毕竟没有卡司也看不下来，感觉一些演员当作讽刺喜剧来演，一些演员又taking it too serious，导致观感在好笑与不好笑之间来回摇摆；觉得没有新意的我们是不是真的麻木了，世界是真没啥改变呐
太碎片化了，毫无逻辑可言，虽然有讽刺政治和时局的意味，但是太过无厘头，流于表面，不推荐观影。浪费了一大群大卡司。
呱噪了两个半小时，最后看到地球毁灭这帮人灭亡，这部片终于让我有点开心了。。。：）
就算我们能预见历史，也不会阻止它发生。就像即将到来的会议，也许是某场毁灭性灾难的起点，然而人们鼓舞欢腾。。。
虽然都是前两部玩剩下的套路，每个讽刺的桥段都能在之前的作品中找到参考文献，但经过疫情这两年后对麦凯关于这个世界娱乐至死又愚昧至极的定论变得更加有体会了，原来这世界真的可以疯狂或傻逼到这个地步，另外大表姐终于睡上甜茶了。
为最后的全灭加一星，真的把美国上下彻彻底底地讽刺了一遍，尤其是放在新冠疫情背景下，简直就是现实写照，只不过拯救地球不能只靠美国政府和资本啊，说到底也是一种自黑罢了
本来是为了捧白左踩红脖子，捧民主党踩共和党，不过结合现实中的美国新冠疫情表现，感觉四个都能感受到冒犯，难怪口碑分化了。
裹着喜剧外衣的大型政治灾难片，元旦贺岁喜剧一点也不喜，挺悲的其实。包括最后主角一桌坐在桌前等灰飞烟灭都很让人感到悲伤。另外这个片子最不合理的部分不应该是BASH的飞碟机计划都完蛋了，为什么太空环游竟然能成功呢。大表姐的演出令人眼前一亮，靓了一整部片子，这个妆发实在是太适合她了。
用大白话来讽刺也是相当的过瘾，为了黑而黑的笑点更符合网络快消时代的气质。面对危机下所有人的应对状态，不正像现在正在经历疫情的我们一样吗？
2021-2022跨年在家看的，挺有意思的，讽喻现实的荒诞喜剧，彗星撞地球也可以改成任何毁灭性的大灾难（比如疫情），不是技术上解决不了，而是权力、利益、贪婪等东西阻碍了问题的解决…最终导致人类的灭亡…（甜茶好可爱（看到和小李子睡了之后我才认出大魔王
PS：请放心地球上还有中国在，就不会让美国胡作非为。
最早是在纽时科学版上看到说起这个片子，写文的编辑说自己曾经发布过小行星可能撞地球的新闻，当时一时群情激昂。本以为这是个科幻片，没想到是个闹剧讽刺片。讽刺的对象多多少少能看出来，娱乐至死的美国精神也能体会，但这样的片子不是我的茶，小李子和大表姐都是大学都没上过的巨星，演教授和博士生不能让人信服，白宫厨房休息间的陈设布置倒是看着和我邻居家里差不多。片子太长，到后来我一边倍速看一边干点杂事，都没整明白甜茶啥时候出场演了个啥角色。
