Andrew Scott Five Times


Ripley is finally out today -- go watch it on Netflix the first chance you get! It's really terrific, I thought. I speak of the new Patricia Highsmith adaptation starring Andrew Scott here as Tom Ripley, her perennial grifter, the same one showcased so wonderfully in Anthony Minghella's 1999 film The Talented Mr. Ripley. Here is the trailer. It salso stars Dakota Fanning and Johnny Flynn (from Emma) in the Gwyneth & Jude roles repsectively, although it's unfair to compare it to that movie because they're going for something very different emotionally. It's the same story as TTMR (I don't believe it dives into any of the other books; I know people were wondering) but it has a very different feel. And I think both versions work. Anyway with that out Andrew is featured in Interview Magazine today and besides this sexy photoshoot (SHELVES!) his chat is with the one and only Oscar-winning queen Olivia Colman! I usually post these links and then go read the articles but I couldn't stop myself from reading Andrew & Olivia chatting the second I saw it was a thing and it's a delight. So read that and hit the jump for the photos...

Love him, these are...pretty good? He needs a new stylist(or just a stylist). His outfits lately have been frumpy as hell.

I can't see Flynn at all as Dickie,Law created the ultimate Dickie and was a million times hotter in 99 than either Scott or Flynn in 2024,Fanning will also have big shoes to fill in the shadow of Paltrow's glorious turn.

While I Love It And Love Andrew Scott, Talented Mr. Ripley Still Is It For Me.
