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.
设定并不新鲜，可能过几年这台智能设备产品就会出厂吧，不过影片几处狠辣的讽刺很到位：再多的点赞也遮掩不了孤独，科技资本公司确实带来了便利和进步，但背后仍旧是贪婪。
真傻帽机器人，志同道合机器找，朋友还得自己交
科技有余，浪漫不够。美式英雄主义总是逃不过牺牲自己点亮他人的宿命，找呀找呀找朋友👬
每个机器人都是他的朋友了 虽然议题老套还是看哭了😭
我也想要个小Ron，不用保持2米内，10米也行啊
继瓦力之后又一部让人哭瞎的机器人动画。彷佛在看每一个依赖手机、网络、社交软件与世界联结的我们。可友谊没有算法，人类的感情无法被数据计算。只有放下屏幕再度面对面的我们才能获得最真诚的交流。渴望融入的怪胎才是不孤独的人。从这个意义上我也好想回到没有网络的原始森林。Bubble，Apple，希望每一个掌控世界技术变革的公司运营者都是真诚希望人类享受科技便捷有良知的技术员。愿世界远离官僚体制。
(78) 我好像也真得從來沒有想過什麼是”朋友” - it is mutual and you don’t really have to love or like every single same thing. 迷失在電子世界的人類，荼毒到小孩了～這造型，難道不是在諷刺Tim Cook/ Steve Jobs and Justin Buber??
除了结局不喜欢。牺牲一个懂你的朋友，换一堆不懂你的“朋友”，有劲？
终于有一部主角不是黑人，不是女性，不是少数族裔，不是同性恋的电影了。虽然剧情略显老套但是依然很感人，七分！多给一分完全是因为此剧没有随波逐流去迎合大众搞什么狗屁zzzq！
中规中矩的剧本，虽然设定非常新颖，但是还不够亮眼。
要不是各种直指当下的设定包装的足够新颖，这种套路的不能再套路的剧情，以及情节上各种生硬转折的动画片，简直要怀疑是多少年前的成品。
巴尼和阿榮的最後一個擁抱超級催淚。
总体来看不温不火，许多内涵Facebook和苹果的桥段。故事从主角和Ron闯入森林开始逐渐失控，就人机关系和成长话题的探讨都太过流于表面了。
从此无处不在的不仅有老露西，还有loonybbox
臺灣片名｜《天兵阿榮》
每个人想要的，就是一个哆啦A梦吧。不是人类，不会离开，专属于我，永远贴心。哎，人类科学家加油吧，赶紧满足我们这种需求
再给主角一个不行吗？总感觉在黑谁 但我没证据
我认同编剧对社交的恐惧和电子产品的警惕。我们已经是离不开电力的电子产品了（说的是我们自己，时时刻刻担心自己电子设备的电力还剩多少）。我们每个人都生活在云端，现在帮助我们回忆某年某月某日某一天的，不是记忆或日记本，而是朋友圈。当我们寄生于云端的那个小格子，是更自由了吗？还有意义吗？谁不想交一个只付出的朋友？这也是为什么现在交朋友越来越难，人们情愿在虚拟网络与人交心，却对身边朋友的困难置若罔闻。影片最终还是将交友建立在电子设备上，有些失望，但是，也许，我们终将与电子设备共生，无法摆脱，也许，与电子设备交朋友更容易，不用口是心非，不用在乎TA的感受，不用试图被理解，也不用理解对方安抚对方帮助对方，只要一味地接受就好了。
像我这种自私的人就不太能接受最后非要牺牲自己当下唯一的好朋友去成就别人的幸福这种做法
很少有电影真的在讲友谊，现代科技下快节奏的快餐式交流，友谊真的是奢侈品。
