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.
this Disney shit is seriously getting on my nerve
超好看啊，从内核到形式！用red比喻初潮啥的不说了，喜欢这个古老神话延续到现代社会的故事壳子（会想到good hunting）！（这不比soul好看？
亚洲女性专供，只有亚洲女性会把自己 powerful 的一面在青春期由全家人做法给封印起来。这动画片，亚洲女人自由行第一课。
作为一名中国观众很有代入感，也很羡慕小美的“变形”。大多母亲的控制欲都很强，偷看日记、到学校送午饭、去同学家抓孩子回来，而大多父亲忙于工作，基本不见人影，所以现实生活中的小美不会如此幸运。她们就像《狗十三》中的李玩，没有朋友，没有爱情，为了让家人满意，不惜撕碎自己，躲在无人角落独自哭泣。
花絮比正片好看，皮克斯真是好公司/from花絮，关于为什么是小熊猫：导演说小熊猫的性格就像十几岁的小孩子，互相保持距离，吃没营养的东西……而且颜色是红白的，既有中国的感觉，也像加拿大国旗的配色（ps：参考第一次变身的时候小美穿的加拿大国旗T恤
为什么中译名是这个呀我的妈！！我感觉世界其他部分了解亚洲文化还属于要从很明显（到有一点stereotypical）的标签来开始的阶段（比如宗祠、粤语歌），在多伦多中国城长大的二三代小朋友和一代移民的我们当然也有很多不同的成长经历，但小女孩之间的友情真的超级泪目！爸爸妈妈之间的感情也很动人啊——以及红熊猫也太可爱了吧！
你永远可以相信皮克斯，披着亚裔成长皮的女权片hhhhh释放被封印的小熊猫！以及，这个母女关系真的是过于像我和我妈引发不适
广东祠堂很亲切了，狸猫巨大化好评，母女关系简直是这一波sinophone的必备主题。
“一天早晨，李美凌从不安的睡梦中醒来，发现自己躺在床上变成了一只巨大的红色熊猫。”借远古传说对传统中式乃至东亚式家庭关系的探讨终究过于浅显，反倒是与幻想无关的那段关于月经的描述才更具现实的冲击力。
“献给我们的女儿，妈妈，姨妈和外婆，你们有魔力！”
每变身一次就会更可怕一点，这么好的一个设置，要是放到以前的皮克斯会怎么呈现呢？还我皮克斯谢谢。
大概是只有女性才能拍出来的电影，好处和坏处都在这，剩下的就是好莱坞近年来一贯的套路——女主角回望自己的熊猫的那个瞬间触动到了我，然后就是非常刻意的两代人对立，甚至还要生造出一个大反派来。感觉就是在概念上想得很细，但没能很好地转换成故事。前面的家庭关系看得挺难受，后面虽然释放出来了，但总觉得有点飘。
一描写华裔就是大红配大绿，眼镜+龅牙，阴森畸形的家族观念。从《寻梦环游记》到《魔法满屋》再到本片，从墨西哥到拉美到华裔，千篇一律是换了皮的家长过度管辖的母题，迪士尼在题材和深度上的不思进取已经令人发指。
Canadian Born Chinese has better representation than anywhere-else born Chinese now.
好可爱啊！【感觉这个男团过不久就会宣布成员solo不解散。
塑造自己母亲为反派，刻板化亚裔家庭，鼓动所谓自由性格。突然想起周围总有人说工作后就不靠父母之类云云，有本事买房买车结婚都不靠，没学到欧美的经济独立，到学到欧美的叛逆，可笑。
有很多可愛小細節、文化隱喻和共同記憶的一部動畫電影。
“献给我们的女儿，妈妈，姨妈和外婆，你们有魔力！”
red panda is so f***ing cute！几次感觉剧情都进行不下去了，red panda一出来，剧情就有意思了！看过之后，才明白turning red是一语双关，不仅指女主的变身，还指女主月经初潮后女孩向女人的转变，以及看男团演唱会也是一个隐喻，应该是可以谈恋爱以爱情方式接触男生的意思。只有东亚人尤其是华裔才能理解的，在家庭教育中爸爸隐身control freak母亲和女儿之间相爱相杀的关系，妈妈真的会指责孩子的朋友会带坏自己的孩子。华裔真的会因为自己没有达到母亲的目标而像母亲道歉，最后是两代女儿与自己和解，为啥没有探讨父母的教育方式，因为只有华人知道，父母永远不会改变，子女唯一能做的就是放过自己。满满千禧年画风，不上院线真的可惜了！最后，非裔还真蛮喜欢霸凌亚裔，泰勒是姐妹？
出乎意料的好看。形象设计、剧本创意和对亚洲家庭关系的剖解都很有意思，后半段名场面频出，观影体验爆表，不愧是皮克斯。
