A recreation of the infamous 'Newsnight' Prince Andrew interview is no 'All the President's Men,' but it does make you appreciate a good talent booker.
Journalism movies can be a lot of fun (“His Girl Friday,” “The Paper”) or compellingly dramatic (“Spotlight”). Or neither. That murky middle is seen in “Scoop,” a Dollar Store “Frost/Nixon” about Prince Andrew’s 2019 interview with the BBC in the wake of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking scandal. Director Philip Martin’s film, starring Rufus Sewell and Gillian Anderson, is not poorly made, per se, but its efforts to make the behind-the-scenes scramble to get the Duke of York on TV exciting are for naught.
