Scandal at Buckingham Palace in the film Scoop, with Gillian Anderson, available on Netflix this Friday April 5. Information about the program.
The timing is not ideal for Buckingham Palace which already has to manage the absence of King Charles and his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton, both of whom are being treated for cancer. This Friday, April 5, 2024, the communication of the British Crown will also have to deal with the new film Netflix which returns to the links between Prince Andrew, brother of the king, and the Epstein affair. The film is adapted from the autobiographical work Scoops: Behind the scenes of the BBC’s most shocking interview by Sam McAlister, former producer of the show Newsnight.
She recounts how the team of the BBC program obtained a memorable (and very real) interview with Prince Andrew, accused of being involved in the Epstein affair, a television interview which lastingly damaged his image in public opinion. The adaptation is directed by Philip Martin who has worked on English series like Inspector Wallander’s investigations, Hercule Poirot or Tunnel. Regarding the casting, the main role of the journalist is played by Gillian Anderson (X-Files, Sex Education) and Prince Andrew is played by Rufus Sewell (The Pillars of the Earth, The Man in the High Castle). At their side: Billie Piper (Doctor Who, Penny Dreadful), Keeley Hawes (MI-5) and Connor Swindells (Adam in Sex Education), among others.
