Prince Andrew S Newsnight Interview To Be The Subject Of A New Film Film

According to Deadline, Scoop, which will begin shooting in November, is signed by Peter Moffat, whose previous credits include the Bryan Cranston series Your Honor and the 2004 film Hawking, which won acclaim for the lead Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Hawking. It is adapted from Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC’s Most Shocking Interviews, a non-fiction book that provides insider information on how some of the broadcaster’s key interviews came about. Written by Sam McAlister, a former Newsnight producer, the book was picked up by producer Hilary Salmon shortly after it was announced (published on July 14). Asked by Deadline if rumors of Hugh Grant being cast in the lead role were accurate, Salmon said that in terms of casting, “we have, of course, thoughts” but added “no one is attached.” Grant’s reps say the actor has “never heard of this project.” The Newsnight interview, which aired in November 2019 and was conducted by Emily Maitley, was widely seen as a remarkable coup for the program and a poor move by the prince. In the interview, he tried to clear himself of wrongdoing connected to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his cell three months earlier. Maitlis examined the relationship between the king and the convicted felon, as well as his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years for sex trafficking in June. The prince expressed regret in the interview about his continued relationship with Epstein after the financier admitted in 2008 that he had solicited sex from underage people. But he said he didn’t regret the friendship itself, as it led to connections that were “actually very useful.” He has also not apologized to the victims of Epstein’s crimes and has made a number of statements protesting his own innocence of Virginia Giuffre’s allegations that she was forced to have sex with him when she was 17. These included his denial that they had sex in 2001 saying he was at Pizza Express in Woking that night and that Giuffre’s claims that he danced with him in a London club while he was sweaty were false as he had temporarily lost the ability to sweat after an “adrenaline overdose” during the Falklands War. Prince Andrew has largely disappeared from public life since the interview. Moffat told Deadline that Scoop is “about how the BBC Newsnight team got the scoop and then the actual shooting,” adding: “The other thing is, why did he agree to do it?” “How did he decide it was a good idea to do a long long interview with Emily Maitley on the BBC?” Moffat continued. The film will show how McAlister and two female colleagues “did the interview under real stress and pressure because once it was agreed it was done in secret. Hardly anyone inside the BBC could find out for fear it would be leaked.” After the interview ended, Maitlis offered the prince a chance to go back in front of the cameras for reruns, but he declined, apparently feeling the interview had gone “extremely well,” Salmon said.
