Scoop trailer delivers first extended look at Rufus Sewell’s Prince Andrew
“Inspired by Prince Andrew’s infamous Newsnight interview comes a new film starring Gillian Anderson, Keeley Hawes, Billie Piper, and Rufus Sewell,” stated Netflix in a statement announcing the extended peek on X. Scoop debuted on April 5. Gillian Anderson, Billie Piper, and Romola Garai portray the women of Scoop, who are a member of the BBC team that secures the royal member for the historic interview.
The clip has Anderson, who plays Emily Maitlis, a Newsnight reporter, saying, “I’ve never been smuggled into a palace before.” The criteria and conditions under which the interview can occur are also disclosed to the Newsnight team.
The actor Rufus Sewell’s portrayal of Prince Andrew is also revealed in the latest teaser. He admitted to Radiotimes that he studied the interview from every aspect for hours on end. Sewell continued, “And I watched a lot of footage of him when he was younger and him at his best, you know, because one of the temptations is to avoid anything that seems to show the good lights or, you know… it’s quite a responsibility.”
