“One hour of television can change everything.” Trailer for Scoop, the film about Prince Andrew’s disastrous interview

“You can’t be silent.” Netflix released the trailer this Monday, March 18 Scoop, the film based on Prince Andrew’s interview with the BBC’s Newsnight programme. In November 2019, this exchange between journalist Emily Maitlis and Elizabeth II’s youngest child was deemed “disastrous” by the Anglo-Saxon press. Accused of being involved in the case of Jeffrey Epstein, who himself is in prison for trafficking minors, Prince Andrew expressed his regret for his collaboration with the billionaire in this interview. However, he assured that he “does not remember meeting” his accuser, Virginia Giuffre.

He also denied sexually assaulting her when she was 17, or even dancing with her at a nightclub, claiming he couldn’t break a sweat that night (as he said). He thus declared that he was suffering from a medical condition due to which it was impossible to sweat. A defense that did not convince Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged victims, to whom he also did not apologize. Since then, director Philip Martin, to whom we owe seven episodes The crown, decided to adapt this story for television. A feature film from Netflix, where we see Gillian Anderson, Margaret Thatcher of the Windsors, and actor Rufus Sewell, who plays the fallen prince.

The Fall of the Beloved Son

The film focuses on “the journey of the women who broke through the barriers of Buckingham Palace to obtain the scoop that led to the catastrophic downfall of the Queen’s ‘favorite son,'” a February 2023 press release explained. In the movie trailer. Gillian Anderson plays Emily Maitlis in the film. “One hour of television can make all the difference,” we hear her declare in her bid to land the prized interview with Prince Andrew. Billy Piper, aka Sam McAllister, is responsible for doing everything he can to get the interview. An interview he will eventually get, but the stakes are high. “If we make even the slightest mistake, she won’t be the one making the headlines,” says Gillian Anderson. It will be us.” An adaptation that will be revealed on April 5 on the streaming platform.
