Andrew Scott stars in Ripley<\/a>, the brand new eight-part Netflix<\/a> series based on Patricia Highsmith\u2019s Tom Ripley novels, which started with The Talented Mr Ripley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time that Highsmith\u2019s story has been adapted for the screen before \u2013 Tom Ripley was previously played by Matt Damon in a 1999 film adaptation of the first novel in the series, directed by Anthony Minghella, while the 1960 French film Purple Noon is also loosely based on Highsmith\u2019s novel.<\/p>\n

Speaking in October 2021, Scott<\/a> addressed these various iterations of the story when speaking with Interview Magazine<\/a>, saying: \u201cThere\u2019ve been various iterations of the character, some of which I\u2019ve seen and some of which I\u2019ve avoided.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re playing those famous literary characters, you don\u2019t want to just copy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m interested in the idea of what queerness is, and otherness, because that\u2019s what I think it\u2019s about. The reason he\u2019s such an interesting character is you can\u2019t quite place him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Tom Ripley was in a gay bar, I\u2019m not sure that he would fit in there. Nor do I think he\u2019s a straight character. I think he\u2019s a queer character, in the sense that he\u2019s very \u2018other\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s his relationship with sex, or death, or with family or friends? It\u2019s interesting that a character is the sum of the parts that you don\u2019t have to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, as fans binge their way through the new series, they may be wondering \u2013 how can they watch the 1999 film?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about how to watch The Talented Mr Ripley.<\/p>\n
