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.
不奇怪，在四天工作制的西班牙才会觉得奇怪。手段还是软了，被下属整得死去活来，也毕竟是继承的old money。天平不是天生就平衡，要用些方式才能让它平衡。
一切皆是因果啊！为了天枰的平衡，有时候也必须用些手段，不愧是顾全大局的资本家
如果把这个老板放在我们身边来对比，他简直是个天使。
很好笑啊，魏翔的演技真的不错，希望他能真的红一把
真以为所有温情喜剧都能像《你好李焕英》一样？
资本家剥削工人阶级，榨取剩余价值（钱权色）。不因时代改变，不因国家改变，只会更加隐秘化、多样化。
喜欢电影的看看有趣的小梗，纯粹看喜剧的到处都是小笑点。节奏不错，很考验演技，而且演技也经受住了考验。最重要的是，这电影明白自己的功能，没想教育任何人。让人放松地进入，放松地离开。
还可以吧，还算不错的一部电影，但就是没到我喜欢的那个点上
如果把这个老板放在我们身边来对比，他简直是个天使。
哈维尔巴登太有魅力啦！但是电影本身来说太普通了
资本主义世界的“好老板”，打着人本主义、公平正义和政治正确，但最终还是逐利至上，情节真的有够黑色幽默的
欧洲人的黑色幽默，为得奖用尽一切手段、肮脏的手段；揭露社会、企业的黑暗面，看似平衡的企业，实质上被谎言、道德绑架所裹挟……
魏翔真是为了这个角色而生的，他真的很牛逼，全看他了。
作为一个喜剧 魏翔贡献了让我近5年来笑的最惨的一个片段。笑到流泪笑到岔气笑到差点断气哈哈哈哈哈 这还要什么自行车。
影片唯一的价值就是“西虹市”的概念似乎终于具有了意义，这个附属于“麻花宇宙”的虚构城市让杀手和黑帮这种形象在电影里终于可以真实存在了。而作为一部翻拍作品，《这个杀手不太冷静》的优点全都来自原作《魔幻时刻》。改编的部分则都是不痛不痒的插科打诨。两者对比，蝴蝶效应之后，原本结局的华彩便黯然失色了许多。这次请魏翔来作男主角，可以理解是导演追求小人物的形象，但绿叶确实是绿叶，在小的背后找不到人物的大，已经还是一贯装疯卖傻那套，当点缀可以，成主菜多少就有点噎人了。和佐藤浩市相比，更是天差地别。相较而言，反倒黄才伦奉献了如今最舒服的表演。只是这一切如果都让演员背锅显然是不合适的。改编失败的核心问题，还是如今大陆喜剧都太缺乏电影剧作思维，单纯的段子堆积。即便再是有原作剧本打底，终究也都是有型无神的快消品。
虽然全片充斥着对资本家伪善的讽刺，但放在我们的大环境下看着巴登饰演的黑心老板的所作所为顿然觉得这确实都不是事儿；巴登的表演相比拿下奥斯卡提名的《里卡多一家》可出彩多了 ★★★☆
员工都是老板的工具人罢了，什么大家庭那一套，你给钱我工作，别想给我当爹
春节选这部电影全家一起看是押对宝了，闫飞彭大魔导演，全程都在笑得打鸣。节奏也很好，哭点后面会马上接个笑点让观众不会被煽情的氛围带偏，用我爸的话说是无厘头的感动。
在当下演员这个职业被资本裹挟的情况下，能有这样一直努力把精力集中在琢磨人物的从业者是值得敬佩的
非常爆笑又很让人感动的喜剧、很棒的剧本。前半段笑果非常棒，身份认知和信息获取上的差异使得魏翔老师做出了许多令人捧腹的举动，主动代入杀手角色的表演在我们观众看来非常夸张出格尴尬搞笑。屡次舔刀子、夸张的表演前的清嗓子拍脸等准备工作都非常爆笑。后半段真相逐渐揭露时，魏翔表演儿子、马丽故意贬低他让他逃离危险等片段的真挚感情都令人非常感动。舞台化戏剧化的打光也令人印象深刻。
