The production company behind the movie is The Lighthouse Film & TV, which was launched two years ago by Hilary Salmon, Radford Neville and Nick Betts, along with U.K.-based Voltage TV.
"Scoop" is set to tell the behind-the-scenes story of the 62-year-old’s bombshell sit-down with BBC journalist Emily Maitlis. It will be based on the chapters of a new book by former "Newsnight" producer Sam McAlister titled "Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC's Most Shocking Interviews," which explores the negotiations with Andrew and his team, the rehearsals and the aftermath. The televised interview was famously slammed by viewers and described as a disaster for the disgraced royal.
