WATCH: Andrew Scott’s Newest Queer Project ‘Ripley’ Drops Official Trailer

Ripley | Andrew Scott

What’s next for the gay actor? More queerness, of course!

After the success of the ghostly gay film ‘All Of Us Strangers’, Irish actor Andrew Scott is ready to take on yet another “fruity” role with the new Netflix series, ‘Ripley.’

On March 4, Monday, Netflix released the highly anticipated trailer for the Golden Globes-nominated actor which boasts a black-and-white, noir kind of cinematography. Talk about style!

You can watch the intriguing trailer below:

‘Ripley’ is based on lesbian writer Patricia Highsmith’s classical 1955 psychological thriller novel, “The Talented Mr. Ripley.”

An official synopsis of the book reads, “Tom Ripley, a young American ne’er-do-well, travels to Italy on an unusual assignment, to convince a rich man’s son to return home. Once in Europe, Ripley’s talent for evil leads him to commit two murders and assume the identity of one of his victims.”

The literary work has been adapted numerous times for screen, including the French film ‘Purple ‘Noon’ in 1960 starring Alain Delon and the American psychological thriller ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’ in 1999 featuring Matt Damon.

Author Highsmith has once denied that the character of Ripley is not gay but in the books, others have perceived Ripley as possibly gay, and Ripley himself has been written to be aware of and worries about that perception.

Fans of the novel and the US film have interpreted Ripley as a metaphor for the closeted experience, with his need to hide his true self by adopting multiple personas due to societal pressures.

Joining Scott in the stellar roster of actors in the cast are Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf, Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood, as well as Eliot Sumner, Maurizio Lombardi, Margherita Buy, and John Malkovich.

The limited series will only have eight episodes and will premiere on April 4 on Netflix.
