Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

莱托少爷演超英,就不能露脸是吧,导演们是不是嫉妒他帅
我能想象到在巨大漆黑巨幕影院的最后一排看它的感觉,突然有点想念那种感觉了,看到暗夜博士觉得,他才是真正的蝙蝠侠啊,哦新蝙蝠侠我也还没看,杰瑞德莱托气质真的很特殊,只是故事实在太太太老套了
强行圆上了正篇的故事线,老实讲剧情也没有好到哪去,犯罪策略都很反智,还刻意设置了一个笨警察来配合。本来可以好好给作为外行的观众讲讲听声开锁的门道,结果把故事的开锁主线活生生变成了《尼伯龙根指环》的读书会,然后一顿瞎逼转解锁就完事。动作戏也乏善可陈,低配版金刚狼先生外强中干除了讲几句祖安话什么也不会。唯一能看的就是大波黑客小姐姐,以及如同行走的衣架子一般的弥桑黛小姐的英伦穿搭秀。
有一幕Matt从楼角上变身后蹦下来,很像夜行神龙。童年的回忆。如果拍成那个样子,应该会比这么平庸的SONY版本好看很多,Columbia一直在验证自己不会拍超级英雄电影,跟Warner简直是一对难兄难弟。无论找谁来演,来导,都无比的平庸,甚至让人倒胃口。没错,我就是在说Venom 1+2.
我寻思有钱人应该不止一双运动鞋吧,而且你穿运动鞋怎么着也穿一双aj吧……
绝对是今年看过的最无脑的电影了,无脑到搞笑😂因为每个角色都好认真地在这个无脑剧情里扮演自己的角色,就更搞笑了😂
观感比毒液好,飞行特效活脱脱虐杀原形。什么时候超英片能拍一个和主角超能力不一样的反派啊?审美疲劳了
还行吧。开头那段医生又不能走路了是失去了蝙蝠能力吗?小女友也蝙蝠化了。声波定位时的烟雾效果真的好帅,但除此之外也就是一部普通的变种奇幻电影。我能理解Milo对世界的仇恨,一个从出生就不健全一直被嘲笑的人不可能对世界有爱。长发又一身腱子肉的Jared Leto好帅。
没想象中那么难看,也就美剧的水平,但我觉得比之前的毒液好看多了。而且这个暗黑“蝙蝠侠”比DC的蝙蝠侠能力强多了,莱托也有种吸血鬼的病弱美。剧情挺俗套的,想不通自幼的伙伴为什么会突然性情大转变,他咋不会操作蝙蝠呢?彩蛋挺没意思的, 没有想看的欲望。
看完发现是《活死人军团》的人物小传!拍的居然还不错,小人物的开头很有好感,中间的破解中规中矩。
承认认错演员,但是主演也是导演精心雕琢了自己角色,其他就弱得太多了
剧情不合理的地方多 剧本太草率 但是男女主颜值真的高啊哈哈哈
看看剧照和剧情简介,跟全程看完电影其实没啥区别。嘉瑞德莱托无论是演Joker还是莫比亚斯都有自己独特的吸引力,可惜两部电影都挺一言难尽的。However,一部《莫比亚斯》并不可怕,可怕的索尼的粗制滥造版小漫威宇宙还有后续的一揽子计划,《超凡蜘蛛侠》、《蜘蛛夫人》、《险恶六人组》、《猎人克莱文》,作为漫威粉丝看还是不看?
Matthias的电影风格,放到这里完全不搭。期待动作冒险电影,结果给我整个爱情片。女主是真美,但和Matthias完全没擦出火花,他用英语演电影可能难为他了。开三个保险箱的桥段也很无趣,第三个最难就因为他数量最多?人物形象也很不丰满极其脸谱化,属于看过就忘那种。欧洲旅游景点的展示也很弱,就开始一个大全景还行,后面打斗完全没展示任何城市特点,可惜了柏林,巴黎,布拉格和Hallstadt(St.Moritz就算了)。
索尼的创作团队怕是已经摆烂了,看正片仿佛看预告片的体验已经不是一次两次了,每次都是烂剧本和烂剪辑双杀,准备打造烂片宇宙吗?
漫威版蝙蝠侠,吸血的哦。剧情简单粗暴,不算太好看也没有多拉,但至少比毒液强得多。在这个上有量子科学,下有北欧神话,左有平民变异,右有外星文明的怪力乱神大世界里,人造德古拉真没什么好稀奇的。英国亲王化身吸血杀手,美丽女主赏心悦目。
突然就找到方法了
最后求求了,放过小蜘蛛吧,他还是个孩子啊!
格局还是小了点,从头到尾没几个角色,反派战斗力也不行,没什么对抗性。几个角色未变身前倒也还算能看,但变身后的扮相实在让人无爱,太丑了!不知道漫威的第二个十年到底会渣成什么样子,能打的英雄真是不多啊!
咱不为了钱,咱就为了炫技。| 我能问下既然你需要把耳朵贴在保险箱上,还TMD地用手机放歌剧?路上开车也能听见?这锁芯得哗啦哗啦地响彻云霄了吧
