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.
用“蜂巢”喻指生存的集体境遇，都市传说是现实恐怖。导演在处理惊悚情节上点到为止，也是意不在此
继承了前作对城市建筑的社会表达，也找准了新主题，群体自身应当夺回关于群体历史的话语权，否则所有历史都会在城市建设的代际中被抹去。但后半段是不是塞入了太多内容，白人警察执法那段也太直给了……而且如果主角是被“隐藏的过去”所指代的，群体被迫害历史引发的潜意识恐惧给吞噬，那暗线角色推动主角的动机是什么？其前史是不是和立场有矛盾啊
毫无疑问 black horror的新高峰！群体痛苦连结
略失败的改编，乔丹皮尔无法驾驭黑人社区最经典的种族怪谈，也自然在政治神话与恐怖美学间取得平衡。前士绅化时期的区隔空间在种族虐杀重案的历代累计下诞生了作为怨念集合具象化的糖果人，但在BLM运动如火如荼的时期，镜面召唤恶灵的指定白人攻击倾向已经叛离了那个无差别行凶的存在，藏刀片的糖果以及骚动蜂群的隐喻在艺术推进中也被弱化。当然，在这杀戮美学的视觉体验上确实有所革新，每一幕杀人都如前卫画展那般泡在浓烈的颜料中，没有过度血浆地狱的张扬，却也压抑了最后一段的爆发。以暴制暴的咒术背后是如此链接：制造弗洛伊德=制造糖果人，那么续作是否有机会见证其同白警魔人肖万的对抗？在黑白相争的舆论中亚裔继续被困在失语之地，正如片中厕所召唤游戏中唯一幸存的亚裔女生，就差用风水学借口来掩饰两股邪恶力量间自觉溃败的动因。
没太处理好尺度，虽然看起来糖果人这个意象的背景在这部片子里被扩充和具象化了（92版是一个case，这版是诸多case的受害人集合体），但是实际意义和功能却被窄化了和偏移了。而且，要么就隐晦巧妙，要么就赤裸直白，这样子恨不得把寓意怼到脸前但是又死活不点名不说破的操作反而有些莫名地凹姿态。夸一夸好的地方，运镜极好，剪纸和镜子的使用非常精妙，片尾交代真实历史案件的设计神来之笔。
candyman
又是对着镜子召唤 啥啥都是镜子的锅 对着镜子骂街能出来啥？
乔丹皮尔剧作的最大特点也是影片评论家所说的“太过直白激进”，从《逃出绝命镇》的新奇刺激到《我们》的还行，最后到这部彻底乏味，部分害怕氛围营造还行，但是全片的政治正确，种族主义，black lives matter的论调真是让人反感。
难看至极，近30年后再出续集，故事情节有断层，叙事风格大改变，一众黑人角色登场，政治正确到我分不清谁是谁，依靠皮影回顾过往太过敷衍，讲糖果人对事件关联者的影响，不仅是人生阴影，更奇妙的是生根发芽的本质，对，极端暗黑通常会有人继承衣钵，完全狗尾续貂，血浆虐杀片变内心挣扎专场，前后毫无铺垫，配角根本无需存在，整个莫名其妙的“新糖果人”登场，相对老版故事，规避很多血腥镜头的直面，全程苦大仇深，沉浸在做作境界里，电影已经不像正统续集，感觉为新故事发展而出现的过度篇，90分钟的篇幅数独让人觉得无趣慢热，最烦这种动不动就搞政治的装逼货。★
内涵种族问题，导演能力不够，只能借助恐怖片背景，凑足一堆zzzq元素，外加血浆当调料，但乱炖出来的东西，更烂
毫无疑问的粪作，作为一部恐怖片，在反派主角“糖果人”的形象都没有塑造好的前提下，就苦大仇深的谈起了从美国建国时期延存至今的“种族歧视”的话题，最后白人警察不经询问直接枪杀黑人的镜头更是直指“弗洛伊德事件”；电影试图把嗜血的恶灵“糖果人”，看做黑人群体反抗精神和反击斗争的表现，这波操作真的让观众哭笑不得，堪比把塔利班视作阿富汗人民小救星。
唯一的感觉是就这？丨@ Pathé Schouwburgplein, 09 Sep 2021
这种片子竟然在国外评分超高，真的是太恶心了，现在国外极端的政治正确，已经完全不去考虑影片的好坏了，就像本片一样，只要看到了有着种族歧视的白人警察，被人手起刀落灭了个干净，而且还是被黑人恶灵复仇杀死，那就绝对的高分，完全不考虑影片的节奏拉胯，内容毫无新意，逻辑存在漏洞，毫无恐怖质感（也就容易引发密集恐惧症而已），水平就连老板第一部都无法达到，真让人太无语了！影片的背景故事是老版第一部的内容，而后故事就开始放飞自我，就连糖果人为何要选择男主作为宿住也全无解释，而后镜子内杀人的桥段，在电影《鬼镜》中早就玩烂了，更别说本片惊悚的地方也就寥寥几笔，还真好意思说这是恐怖片。影片最后的动画才是本片的主题，那就是所有被压迫的黑人，都会化身“糖果人”，对所有代表“不公”的白人复仇，呵呵。
可以说没啥意思，浓浓的宗教风格，痴迷糖果人最后成为了糖果人，这样拍其实没必要
6/10。可以看到许多乔丹皮尔的影子。优缺点都很明显，不直面死亡而采用多角度侧写加强了电影感。黑女最后召唤糖果人杀死白人警察，联系到现实情景，可以说是出了口恶气（但电影的社会性过于直白，或者直接剪辑真实新闻来摆明檄文属性）。铺垫长了些，没有糖果，生理刺激少，蜂巢的黑人社区比喻可以更明显。
三分钟一个黑命贵知识点呼你脸上实在是受不了。尼哥现在和那些青春疼痛女主没啥区别了，生而为尼，我很抱歉，真就全世界都要杀我系列
前面只是一般俗，最后把安东尼献祭召唤糖果人让我有点迷惑，风格类型都转变了吧？
1992版的优点没学会，缺点倒是全部继承了。
“请在1秒内找到图中的糖果人。”
一部要什么没什么的恐怖片，实质是招魂类恐怖片，还带着苦大仇深的黑人元素，但剧情实在是太碎太不连贯，讲的一点不吸引人，还莫名其妙的
