Rufus a Royal:

Gillian Anderson and Rufus Sewell to lead movie about Prince Andrew's Newsnight interview:

Netflix's movie on Prince Andrew's bombshell 2019 interview with the BBC about his ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein has announced their cast.

On Tuesday, Netflix revealed the four actors who will star in Scoop, the upcoming film by screenwriter Peter Moffat about Prince Andrew's sit-down with BBC Newsnight anchor Emily Maitlis, which lead to the royal stepping down from his public duties.

Gillian Anderson, who won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for playing Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Crown, will play Maitlis, the BBC host who conducted the interview.

"Very excited to get started!" the actress tweeted following the casting announcement.

In the part of Prince Andrew will be Rufus Sewell, known for his roles in The Illusionist, A Knight's Tale and The Man in the High Castle.

Elder daughter who knows my weakness sent me this today:

Not that we need a film about this and Rufus is much too handsome for Prince Andrew, but another work for Rufus is always good!
It´s obviously called Scoop and also contains Billie Piper and Keeley Hawes.

Rufus Sewell says he modelled his version of Prince Andrew on David Brent. Interesting!
