Daniel Welsh is a London-based entertainment journalist at HuffPost UK. His areas of expertise are film, TV and music. He particularly enjoys reality TV, Madonna and getting compliments about his hair.
Meanwhile, Billie Piper takes the lead as former Newsnight producer Sam McAlister, whose book inspired the film.
Ahead of the film, the former X-Files star revealed she’d not had any contact with the real-life figure she portrays in Scoop before production got underway, as the News Agents podcast host is currently involved directly in another streaming project based on the Newsnight interview.
“It says it’s based on a fictional account, so I think it goes into different places and it does different things .”Per Deadline, Emily later clarified through a publicist that she was describing Scoop as a “dramatisation” of real events, rather than a “fictional account”.She added that she was “very excited” about Scoop’s release, and while she’d not yet seen it, she vowed to “get around to it at some stage”.
