Netflix released the official trailer for Scoop as social media is flooded with rumors about Kate Middleton’s disappearance from public life. Manipulated photos and ridiculous denials (a statement attributed to Catherine, Princess of Wales, said she was playing around with Photoshop) have done nothing to quell reports the Royal Family is in chaos. So now seems the perfect time to drop a trailer for a film about Prince Andrew’s disastrous interview with Emily Maitlis.
Rufus Sewell stars as Prince Andrew, Billie Piper plays Sam McAlister, and Gillian Anderson is Emily Maitlis. The cast also includes Keeley Hawes and Romola Garai.
Scoop is based on McAlister’s memoir Scoops: Behind The Scenes of the BBC’s Most Shocking Interview and was adapted by Peter Moffatt and Geoff Bussetil. Philip Martin directs and The Lighthouse Film & TV’s Hilary Salmon and Radford Neville produced. McAlister executive produced along with Voltage TV’s Sanjay Singhal.
“Inspired by real events, Scoop is the inside account of the tenacious journalism that landed an earth-shattering interview – Prince Andrew’s infamous BBC Newsnight appearance,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “From the tension of producer Sam McAlister’s high-stakes negotiations with Buckingham Palace, all the way to Emily Maitlis’ jaw-dropping, forensic showdown with the Prince, Scoop takes us inside the story, with the women who would stop at nothing to get it.”
Scoop will premiere on Friday, April 5, 2024.
