He's a liar. It's his profession. Andrew Scott stars as Tom Ripley in the new limited series Ripley, only on Netflix April 4, 2024. Watch on Netflix: https://www.netflix.
You wouldn’t read a novel in two hours, actor Andrew Scott says. Why would you rush a good story on screen?
Written and directed by Oscar winner Steven Zaillian, the Netflix series lets Scott toy with the lies Tom Ripley tells. People are also reading… “The opportunity to write it and to tell the story in long-form television was a really interesting dynamic,” Scott says. “ had a very strong vision that he wanted it to be in black and white. The idea that the black-and-white can be married in some way to the way he wanted to teach the audience how to watch this story was very similar to the way we might read a novel.”“The eight-episode format suited this book,” Zaillian explains.
Johnny Flynn, who plays Dickie, says Zaillian’s scripts were very precise in terms of story beats. “You don’t need to show too much of backstory. He’s just existing in those moments,” Flynn says. “I thought of him as somebody who had run away from his cultural identity because he has a kind of shame around it. He has come to Old World Europe to hide himself in the idea of being an artist in this beautiful place and feed off that. There’s no moral ambiguity around him.
