This is some great casting.I'm a huge fan of the original film so I can't wait to see how this turns out, and who's going to play Dickie and Marge etc.

Well it's tricky because he's just playing Ripley right - who spans across several novels not just the Talented Mr. Ripley story.
Those books are unique because Talented Mr Ripley alone gave us 2 great, unique movies and there's arguably a whole other better movie on a different story than both in Wenders' The American Friend and another pretty good separate film on that too with Malkovich.......I mean it's kind of amazing that character can go so far across so many different stories. I think there's 5 books.......

Really excited to see another Ripley story. Especially with Scott as the lead. I'm not sure he's the perfect casting choice but as a fan I keep my hopes up!

Only seen him in Fleabag and the Black Mirror ep but I really don’t like him. He’s annoying to me and likes to overplay every beat. Don’t get the appeal...
but I’ll probably still be watching for Zaillian - who can be a terrific writer and he’s an underrated director, Night Of was controlled, and I really like his Bobby Fischer debut.

I'm thinking the woman in my avatar would be perfect for Marge. .And maybe Harris Dickinson for Dickie.

Dakota is really good on The Alienist and sells a fine patrician vibe on that show. I dig it.
Still wish this were a gender-flipped version of Ripley and Rooney was playing the role, but I'll take what I can get.

They should have released this sooner for Andrew Scott's nomination. I am confident that Jodie Foster and Annette Bening were helped by True Detective S4.

This actually looked better before I think: Zaillian is a great writer - his Irishman script is incredibly sharp and loaded with detail - he REALLY got robbed - but the Ripley story really seems ill-suited to a weekly show .......I mean the whole thing about Ripley is he can only keep it going so long which is the difference between his story in Ripley books vs films.........in films it would seem to strain believability to prolong the character juggling plates repeatedly....... Delon (definitive) and even Damon (great, for him at least) were always at risk of fncking up - it's what made the character ..........in this trailer Scott looks too.......triumphant ........maybe it's just the trailer ........fingers crossed
