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.
故事是定在凯尔莫罕被人类摧毁的时间段。制作不错，比烂美剧好看多了。不过美国人有点高估猎魔人的能力了。
营造了很多戏剧冲突，关于经济环境，关于文化差异，关于生死离别，甚至于那一场SARS，但好像最后又都难能把这些冲突很好的结合，拼凑的痕迹是如此明显，即便最后希望依靠妹妹的病将一家人重新聚拢，但真的很难有说服力，这种家庭的割裂不是靠几声抽泣就可以化解的。比较之下，瀑布的好就体现出来了。
视听部分没有什么惊喜，镜头的使用直白高效，故事层面体量不够，充盈着情绪却在转变上过于生硬，结尾戛然而止似乎导演故意终止于此处显得意味不明，整体还算工整。
动作设计动画效果很棒，美术的水准也很高。两颗星全给art department。故事感觉不怎么行啊…里面很多的情节和心理的转换太快了，甚至其实人物完全没有发展。看了80分钟没能明白我为什么要看这么一部片子，难道就是为了看怪物和杀戮吗…
通常反派死于话多，这次正派话也很多，有点受不了。

2022-03-15 世界的流通与家庭内部的隔离，叠加在疫病蔓延的档口，可惜没能将枝蔓足够扩展便收缩自愈了。
两星半，林嘉欣好棒。妈妈在剧里明显是更有戏剧性和文本上更有嚼头的人，但片子是叫美国女孩，且以一个不能选择只能适应的小女孩作为切入，所以失焦几乎是一定的，那故事的家庭副轴，在不同国家环境和文化之间的选择也会有这种不得不侧写的面相，虽然有几次略过的调度和表演，不过相对于情绪和照映生活来说，已然足够，而并不需要一个所谓的杨德昌式手术刀视角。
关于维爹和伊利亚娜之间那种微妙的心理年龄的参差感，不知道是编剧刻意为之，还是笔力不够驾驭不住。What will time make you?
芳儀和莉莉的關係簡直就是我和我媽，莉莉指責宗輝怎麼能幫女兒買梳妝台，像極了從前我和我爸帶了新芭比娃娃回家時我媽的樣子，就連夫妻間曾經關於房屋的爭吵都如此相似。阮鳳儀的「美國女孩」讓我想起陳哲藝，細膩、平淡、又真實，展現出華人家庭生活敏感脆弱相互折磨的底色。印象最深的是芳儀形容騎馬的感覺：「像世界停了一下/然後什麼都不重要」。可惜中國人永遠拍不出這麼好的華語家庭片。
战斗很帅，但剧情很赶。话说，白狼盖洛特小时候居然是光头，果然光头才是最强的
本来只能给三星半，但实在太爱巫师各种系列了。
有黑人角色减一星 女术士真是永恒的搅屎棍

师傅挺帅，女巫有点靓，打斗不算很惊艳但胜在作画巨特么丝滑流畅高帧，关键时刻不吝于表现血腥度
壓抑程度比「瀑布」要再高出很多，一直在描寫家庭吵架，場景又刻意調得很昏暗，很真實、但直到最後都沒有破解，女孩到底要不要回美國？如何解決自己的內心矛盾？本作最多只是揭露了一些實現American Dream的華人現象而已。
故事前因后果虽然说得通，但感觉大部分人物塑造的不太够，导致多方的矛盾冲突也显得不那么激烈，尤其女术士的包袱抖的也太晚了。就连到了最后大战前夕，也没什么剑拔弩张的紧张感。算了，那就当是爱情片也值得！！希望以后还会继续出猎魔人的动画剧集，就以杰洛特的一些支线任务为题材就很满足了。另外，怎么没一个人打牌？！
这看起来不像猎魔人收拾怪物，倒像隔壁斯巴达兄弟暴打恶魔
维瑟米尔年轻时真是个大帅哥，打斗场面张力十足，推荐《巫师》游戏玩家都看一下
演出有把猎魔人那种冰冷的人际处事原则表现出来，主角那种玩世不恭中隐藏着一点点（真的只有一点点）人性的态度也蛮有意思
