Gillian Anderson Stars in Great Trailer for Netflix Drama Feature SCOOP Based on a True Story
Netflix has released a great trailer for their drama feature Scoop, based on the true behind the scenes story of how the BBC obtained their bombshell interview with Prince Andrew bravely discussing his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The film stars Gillian Anderson as Emily Maitlis; Keeley Hawes as Amanda Thirsk; Billie Piper as McAlister; and Rufus Sewell as Prince Andrew. The movie is directed by Philip Martin (The Crown, Catherine the Great, Night Sky), from a screenplay by Peter Moffatt and Geoff Bussetil.
The full synopsis reads:
Inspired by real events, Netflix's new film Scoop is a thrilling inside account of the tenacious journalism that landed an earth shattering interview – Prince Andrew's (played by Rufus Sewell) infamous BBC Newsnight appearance in 2019. From the tension of BBC producer Sam McAlister's (played by Billie Piper) high stakes negotiations with Buckingham Palace, all the way up to Emily Maitlis’ (played by Gillian Anderson) jaw dropping, forensic showdown with the Prince, Scoop takes us inside the story, with the many women who would stop at nothing to get it.
This looks fantastic. Check out the trailer below, and watch Scoop when it’s released on Netflix on April 5th.
