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.
妥妥的软科幻，不需要华丽的场景也能讲出抓人的故事，这就是神秘软科幻的魅力；能看得到很多类型电影的影子，不过又能自成一派，完整性高，留给人遐想和回味的空间，不过如果能在类型电影主题之上再突破下可能更好。
据说本片制作成本不超过100万，主要演员也就三个。很明显是借鉴了《彗星来的那一夜》，导演和编剧就是抖音上人气编剧雷神。从剧情设定来说，还是很不错的。核心内容就是主角燕子。误入了平行森林，希望能够回到原来的那个世界，但是可能再也回不去了。面对平行世界有一个同样的自己，该做出如何选择。过程是他打晕了其中一个自己并取而代之，并没有如他的丈夫一样痛下杀手。可以遇见那个被打晕了，自己也会进入另一个平行宇宙，做出类似的决定。有点新意，但又好像欠缺了点什么。毕竟还是一部模仿制作，和彗星来的那一夜还是有一定差距的。
一看就是低成本电影，演员少，场景少，剧情类似"彗星来的那一夜"，但是整体完成度还不错，可以看看。
类似《彗星》，但要差很多，可谓是乏善可陈。
很棒的剧本、演员和取景，引发了很多哲学问题，想不清楚那种，如果是我也会做结尾一样的选择吧
进入多个不同的平行空间，遇到多个不同的自己+老公+哥哥；
如果是首尾呼应，中间的林场、会所都是女主昏迷时的梦境的话，剧本还是挺好的。不然的话，剧情漏洞太多。
导演很明显完全驾驭不了这种高概念题材的作品，全程尿点。
尤其是男演员，让我想到了一些老版单机游戏里的npc。。。
一片普通的森林，却拍出了空间感。只有杀了自己，自己才能存活下来。看似矛盾的个体，本身就是矛盾本身。
音乐很棒，时而舒缓时而紧促，让我不断受到惊吓，心脏噗噗乱跳。
小成本，美国买了版权翻拍。女主丧子之痛是电影的核心，定下了阴冷的基调，整个电影的环境，音乐都在烘托这种氛围，女主丧子自责悲痛，这种情感无处释放，在平行森林里寻找出口就像寻找情绪发泄的出口，稍走几步就容易迷路的森林更像是一个情感的漩涡，所以科幻在本片还是媒介，表现的还是人物的精神世界，就像女主看的《闪灵》。
点映看完这部电影，有些震撼，一部难得的国产平行世界电影，无大牌演员，却用心讲了一个好故事，结局出人意料，耐人寻味。
这样的电影小学生都能拍，极其无聊，连最基本的配乐都没有，一碗面如果不放油盐不放肉谁吃的下。
明显的小成本电影，没有特效，基本靠人和场景来推动剧情。拍的感觉还可以，值得一看，有些情节构思的不错，作为科幻片我觉得还是合格的，只是这种片子不太讨巧。
深夜惊雷，入林查看，偶遇同一个自己，还被袭击，逃回会所；
小成本电影来说算很不错了，满分十分的话给八分也没问题，但是我不太喜欢里面强行打破悬念的部分，所以后来只给到七分。
实拍景色跟软科幻内核决定了他的可看性，但国产科幻的受众就决定了本片的评分不会高
完成度较高，有时对国产烧脑片并不能过分苛求，摄影和配乐还不错，还算及格吧
在不同平行空间碰到不同的自己，和家人，虽然剧情会有一定似曾相识，但导演在这么低的成本下我在努力的好好讲故事，三个演员演技也都在线，最后电影结尾也没有落入轮回的俗套，给了一个好的结局。
