Netflix has released the first trailer of its upcoming drama Scoop, which tells the behind-the-scenes story of Newsnight’s notorious interview with Prince Andrew.
The one minute-clip shows Gillian Anderson and Rufus Sewell as Emily Maitlis and the Duke of York, looking uncannily like their real-life counterparts. The dramatic trailer sets the tone for the upcoming film: Anderson’s Maitlis says to her producer Sam McAlister (Billie Piper) – the person who arranges the high-profile interview – that “this is the story. The only story. I want it for us.”
The clip then shows the Buckingham palace interview room being set up: “Two chairs in the middle of the room, six feet apart,” says McAlister. A restless classical score accompanies the remaining clips which consist of close ups of McAlister, Maitlis and Prince Andrew.
