It is based on chapters from the new book by former <em>Newsnight<\/em> producer Sam McAlister, <em>Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC\u2019s Most Shocking Interviews<\/em>, and tells the story of how the show secured the now-infamous chat with the royal.<\/p>\n<p><em>Scoop<\/em> will explore everything from the first failed approach to the Palace through the high-stakes negotiations with the prince and his team. It will also delve into the stress and pressure of rehearsal, the interview itself and the fall from grace of the royal. Production on <em>Scoop<\/em> is due to begin in late 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The Lighthouse was launched in 2020 by Hilary Salmon, Radford Neville and Nick Betts, the BBC team behind <em>Luther<\/em>, <em>Criminal Justice<\/em>, <em>House of Saddam<\/em>, <em>Three Girls<\/em> and <em>The Night Of<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Moffat said: \u201cWhat the hell did he think he was doing? Who got him to do it? Why, when the rest of the world was so appalled, did he think it had gone so well? What kind of a man is this? In researching the film and talking to those on the inside of this extraordinary story, I got the answers to all these questions. They&#8217;re provoking, often surprising, sometimes disturbing\u2014and I think they make for a compelling story about power and abuse and journalistic courage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Salmon said: \u201cSam\u2019s book vividly chronicles the moment-to-moment drama that led to that most revealing and jaw-dropping of TV events. We\u2019re thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Sam\u2019s story to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McAlister added: \u201cTo have a production team of the caliber of The Lighthouse and a writer like Peter Moffat making a feature film is beyond my wildest dreams. I can\u2019t wait to see Peter and The Lighthouse bring this extraordinary story to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Moffat (Criminal Justice, HBO\u2019s The Night Of) is set to adapt the inside story behind Prince Andrew\u2019s Newsnight\u00a0interview in a feature film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":17199,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[5096,2063,5097],"class_list":["post-17198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-newsnight","tag-peter-moffat","tag-the-lighthouse-film-tv","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Prince Andrew\u2019s Newsnight Interview Set for Film Adaptation - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prince-andrews-newsnight-interview-set-for-film-adaptation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Prince Andrew\u2019s Newsnight Interview Set for Film Adaptation - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Peter Moffat (Criminal Justice, HBO\u2019s The Night Of) is set to adapt the inside story behind Prince Andrew\u2019s Newsnight\u00a0interview in a feature film.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prince-andrews-newsnight-interview-set-for-film-adaptation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-07-14T14:07:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-07-14T15:04:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/the-lighthouse-film-tv-0722.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prince-andrews-newsnight-interview-set-for-film-adaptation\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prince-andrews-newsnight-interview-set-for-film-adaptation\/\",\"name\":\"Prince Andrew\u2019s Newsnight Interview Set for Film Adaptation - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-07-14T14:07:46+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-07-14T15:04:20+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prince-andrews-newsnight-interview-set-for-film-adaptation\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prince-andrews-newsnight-interview-set-for-film-adaptation\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/prince-andrews-newsnight-interview-set-for-film-adaptation\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Prince Andrew\u2019s Newsnight Interview Set for Film Adaptation\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
