If Andrew Scott was disappointed not to be nominated for an Oscar for the superbAll of Us Strangers, he’s clearly not taken it to heart. In the trailer for his newNetflixdrama out this week, he is truly spellbinding.
Ever since he broke through inSherlockas the villainous Moriarty, Scott has shown off both his charm and a sinister side that’s truly captivating. They are both traits he’ll need for his latest project. Scott is playing a new version of the chameleonic title character inNetflix’sremake ofThe Talented Mr. Ripley.Now just known asRipley,it hits thestreaming serviceon April 7th.
Of course with both the book and Matt Damon film to draw from, I was a bit sceptical that we needed another interpretation of the identity assuming con-man but watching the trailer I’m completely sold. For a start the visuals alone are incredible, if the entire show looks as good as the trailer then director Steven Zailliann will have pulled off something very special. Shot entirely in black and white, there’s an incredible intensity in the trailer. It also reveals an impressive supporting cast with Johnny Flynn as Dickie and Dakota Fanning as Marge. This looks like 8 episodes of flagship quality TV.
If you aren’t familiar with the plot, I won’t spoil it too much. Tom Ripley is a young American man sent to Italy to encourage a former acquaintance (whom he made out to be a dear friend) to return home. Upon arriving in Italy however, and lacking a sense of self, he soon develops an unhealthily close bond with Dickie. After a momentary loss of composure, Tom assumes Dickie’s identity for himself. On the run from the police, Ripley also has to deal with Dickie’s girlfriend Marge and his family back home.
After moreNetflix treats this April? Look no further.
