Andrew Scott,Ripley

As Still Watching dives into the final four episodes of Netflix's 'Ripley,' Andrew Scott drops by the podcast to to explain how Tom Ripley puts the “artist” in “con artist.”

“Zaillian was very clear about the kind of vision that he had for this version of the story,” Scott said. That's not to say that Zaillian had all the answers from the jump. “He didn't immediately say that he wanted to do it in black and white, but that sort of emerged. He mentioned aging up the characters—I'm older than the actors who played the character before in previous iterations of this story. You gotta bring your your own stuff to it or else it's pretty pointless to me.

There's a fluidity to him that we can't quite put our finger on. For that reason, he holds a sort of power over us. The two murder sequences—specifically the one on the boat—are so intense. And I have to imagine filming them must have been just absolutely wild. It's incredibly complicated and time consuming. We talked a lot about how it's easy to murder someone, but disposing of the body is pretty, pretty difficult.
