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.
Jon的第一场试片会结束后，好评如潮但无人投资，他问经纪人“那我现在该怎么办？”，经纪人说“写下一部，写完了就再写一部，一直投稿直到有回应为止，这是大多数剧作家的宿命。”有才华的人终将被看到，需要的是时间和耐心。只不过除了这段，全片剧情和音乐都不怎么打动人，不及影片最后Jonathan Larson本人的影像有感染力。
电影的调调很喜欢，在传记片基本都在讲辉煌的潮流下，一部讲辉煌前心酸奋进的故事更让我上头。拉森对艺术的执着追求为寻找灵感而痛苦焦虑辗转反侧，像极了每个曾经有梦想的人，但不是所有人都像拉森那样执着，拉森为了艺术背叛了所有真实而具体的人，失去了爱人，和朋友争吵。我不知为何一时觉得我和拉森很像，但我却又不如他那般强大。很喜欢这部电影的调调，尽管林曼曼双线叙事有时挺乱的，但情感是真挚的，我的心也是滚烫的。
因为是真实故事加一星，而且我还真的看过吉屋出售的音乐剧。整体是音乐剧形式的演出。
乔纳森是不幸的，英年早逝。
作为LMM的处女作完成度很高，加菲的表演飞跃令人惊喜，确实是对标爱乐之城的电影，一样拍三十岁前年轻人追梦的处境，一样有很多对于经典的致敬，也……不得不说，一样的通俗，感染力来自于故事外部而非故事内部。爱乐之城的感染力来自于观众自身经历和情感的代入，而这部则更针对本身就对宽街有情怀的音乐剧观众，剧情和人物本身有很多单薄的、甚至是悬浮的地方，脱离了更为真实具体的挣扎（譬如90年代艰难的LGBT运动，包括舞台上的和舞台下的），显得中二有余但悲壮不足。
艺术家的半自传式音乐剧，节奏与嵌套的结构挺有趣，连对音乐不很敏感的我都不觉得很闷。
传主乔纳森在他那部传世之作《吉屋出租》首演前日去世，他的良师、一代音乐剧巨擘桑德海姆近日也与世长辞，由此本片算是双重祭奠。我以为我会哭，但是我没有。作为一个Rent粉+LMM粉，得到的却是双重失望。虽然电影有个不错的结构，将《倒数时刻》的表演现场与乔纳森的现实生活交织穿插，宛如他本人以上帝视角审视自己的创作心路、注解自己短暂的一生，但段落融合性不强，跳进跳出反而出戏，高潮缺席又令累积的小情绪溃散一地。
到后期热泪盈眶，I have no time. I already 29.
用音乐剧讲述音乐剧people创作音乐剧的故事，音乐剧people真是太……算了不说了，多说多错得罪人。
塑造了纽约氛围下的艺术殉道者，让底层的人们感同身受。一份食物，10块钱，一个订单，就能让他们开心很久。音乐与生活同样丰富，五味杂陈的感觉。
虽然不认识这人，但后面的音乐还挺有感觉的。
初心已死，热血难赴，仅此而已。
要歌舞有歌舞要节奏有节奏要故事有故事要感动有感动。创作者对自己的掏空和压榨，永远震撼
加菲的演技有点尬住，但是他太真诚了，那双眼睛流起泪来很难不勾得人跟他一起心碎。音乐好喜欢啊。
蛮有意思，用了音乐剧，电影，MV穿插形式，让我觉得很有新意。那个sunday的片段很有意思，“一群傻子应该在周日上午在家里，非要在这个铝合金材质的餐厅里花钱喝冷的合成果汁和微波炉贝果”，笑4
一星扣在歌曲质量，歌舞片的舞蹈和音乐上不去是硬伤。任何艺术家总会有一段至暗时刻，艺术梦想是生活里唯一的慰藉，如灯塔或明星般遥不可及却闪闪发亮，把这些辛酸酿成美酒是多么痛苦又珍贵的过程。生活中的臭水沟太多，大部分里都没有月亮。有人选择妥协，而有人选择自己成为那轮月亮。
加菲有追求，有前途～ 虽然现在看着还有点像表演工作室的学生…故事好美，每一个Jon人生中的时刻都牵动人心，但LMM这种快剪真的是看着好难受…可能老了受不了这么多又晃又快切的镜头。这是theatre没法剪辑后遗症么，能拍电影了就疯狂切镜头？
电影中那首几乎磨死乔纳森的金曲《胜于话语》里，创作者问到，“恐惧还是爱？别说出答案。”
用Jon自己的音乐剧《Tick, Tick...BOOM!》改编成了他自己传记片，形式很妙。电影形式的紧迫感非常明显，LMM本就是把握节奏的一把好手。只不过感觉，好像还是情绪不够。原版《Tick, Tick...BOOM!》音乐剧live单独拎一首歌出来，都比电影里表现的情绪强烈得多。或许是因为电影有一个情绪递进的需要？还是因为加菲在唱歌的表达上不如音乐剧演员？或者是一切的表现都还过于流于形式？||给三星完全是因为在一个好片的要求上看这部有些低于预期了。但是跨到四星去的话，以这部电影的呈现感觉尚不够。
①大学时演的第一部剧就是本片主角写的Rent，②餐厅忙碌的段落也让我想起了在当年在中餐厅打工的日子，③主角的状态也是让人羡慕的，他付不起房租但仍坚持创作，而我付不起房租却仍麻木不仁…④所以就个人而言是部情怀片，暂时无法客观对待
