The scandalous interview with Prince Andrew finally destroyed the Queen’s son’s reputation. Now comes the movie. Starring Hugh Grant?
It was an interview like a car accident. Prince Andrew (62) sat down in front of the camera with a BBC journalist in November 2019 to discuss the allegations against him in relation to the Epstein scandal. A conversation full of embarrassment and entanglements followed, which left all viewers with their mouths open. The reputation of Queen Elizabeth II’s second son (96) was ruined once and for all. Now the industry service “Deadline” reportsthat the events surrounding the interview will be filmed.
The film will therefore be given the title “Scoop” and is already well advanced in planning. Filming is scheduled to start in November. The screenplay was penned by Peter Moffat (60), who has now confirmed the project together with producer Hilary Salmon. According to “Deadline”, British actor Hugh Grant (61) is to slip into the role of Prince Andrew. However, those responsible have not yet confirmed these reports. The casting hasn’t started yet and a director hasn’t been chosen yet.
