Honey, you should see him in a crown

It always puzzled me why he didn't become megastar like Benedict, after Sherlock.

@@Figs3 It's not always about becoming a ''megastar'', he is still a busy actor. Also, in compariosn to Ben he had an arc in the show aka he wasn't a main character

Well, I would say he already made it big considering he's in-demand and constantly working in film, theater and on TV. It's not just about hollywood...

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849and people need to understand that

Gorgeous

The series was shot by Robert Elswitt, who also shot There Will Be Blood!

I'm surprised it's in black and white since Italy is very colorful. Either way, very excited.

Very much so

I had heard about this movie, but hadn’t looked into it. No one had mentioned the director!!! .. let alone the screen play water & cinematographer! This will be visually stunning you are right .. but I’m not drawn in yet by the story. But I’m betting with the kind of writing we’ve come to expect from their past movies that we won’t be able to look away. So many shots in just the trailer that we’re making me go “oh my god! Oh my god” lol, over & over. Great to see others that appreciate these attributes. 👌☺️

Masteepiece indeed!

I couldn’t disagree more. I think it could have been shortened to 4 episodes, there is a lot of wasted time in each episode. The plot is weak too.

@@Mark70609 welcome to series? They are not going to make only 4 episodes, people would finish that in 2 hours.

Same! Such a masterpiece, just beautiful!!

It’s really good imo. Scott’s acting, Dakota as Marge, the detective is brilliant. I hadn’t seen the original except for the boat scene so it was truly riveting watching the series. The cinematography was beautiful and made it easy to watch despite some stress inducing moments 😂

great point

He seems miscast to me for this reason. He looks too sinister. Tom Ripley is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Matt Damon was spot on.

Also that this trailer suggests that the motivation for his infiltration was money. The movie did a great job blurring the lines between his financial motives and genuine infatuation with Dickie and his lifestyle.

@@drakedrakeson5067 That might just be because it's narrated from the POV of the girlfriend

@@LondonPride25 Check out Ripley's Game. John Malkovich was terrific as Ripley.

Check out Vanya

@@tanvinator lololol yes! also, do you mind me asking if you know Vanya is streaming anywhere? I've been looking for it for a while and can't seem to find it.

So something like Anomalisa? And, Kaufman as the writer? Me: Hmmm...... It's pretty good, pretty, pretty, pretty good!

@@tanvinator I'm desperate to this on the stage - ticket prices, though!!!

I think they are

OK kid

Andrew deserves the world tvh

He would have deserved an Oscar nom :(

@@khalidsyed142 I'm just a simple poor guy💀

@@mrmdaher He does deserves it, it's just unjustifiable that he didn't get one for All of Us Strangers.. even tho im a Paul Mescal Fan, I think Andrew did the best part than him..

Absolutely!! 💯💯💯

I was so distracted cause every scene looks incredible! You don’t even have time to digest it!

Good music, too.

How can you forget the Cat.

AGREED. I was blown away for 8 episodes. Every shot could be framed

I TOTALLY AGREED 💯... EXCELLENT COMPOSITION AND SHOT

It relies heavily upon the scenery.

The cinematography is exquisite all right. But, obviously, your experience of watching films and TV series is very limited. Just like most posters over here who say "this is the best thing I ever saw or I have ever seen in a long time".

It's a TV series adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley, a book by Patricia Highsmith. There was a 1999 movie of the same name as well, with Matt Damon in the titular role.

​@@manthekingYes, unfortunately.Jude Law, who played Dickie would've been a better fit as Ripley.

@magloyd4907 Possibly. He did look suave enough to be able to easily con people, that's for sure. As opposed to Matt Damon's (comparatively) more everyman look.

@@manthekingand don’t forget The American Friend (1977), Dennis Hopper as Tom Ripley, and that French movie, Purple Noon.

@@magloyd49071960 french one with Alain Delon is the best. I watched all versions and read all novels. I love the ripley's game with john Malkovich too.

Yes, even after 30 seconds I knew I was in for good things. No nagging social politics or any modern nonsense, just pure escapism back into the 1950s, and in such a wonderfully tasteful way. Amazing.

Hey ... I would have asked for a year advance ... there were so many opportunities where he could have been able to live there for free with his "friend"

You can say that again. Amazing black and white cinematography.

That movie f’ing sucked

WHY ON EARTH IS THIS IN BLACK & WHITE?!!! ARENYOU GUYS NUTS??

This Ripley story was done twice before (Purple Moon & The Talented Mr. Ripley. Both very good), I wish they had gone with another one of the novels. Ripley's escapades don't end here.

@@401RISainthow?

Saltburn such a great movie

Alain Delon still OWNS ALL OF THEM... simply by his presence alone.

Plein Soleil is amazing, but Talented Mr. Ripley is one of the few instances where an American remake can actually stand its ground against the original imo

Matt.....DAMON!!!! Derp derp

Alain Delon radiated Ripley. Charming, sexy, dangerous.

Yes!@@Factboy12

And this cat! Like a concierge who sees (and knows!) everything! Even the cat deserves an Oscar!

Dakota Fanning still been acting and went nowhere what you talking about😂 lol? She just recently filmed The Equalizer 3 with her good friend Denzel Washington and had many other prior through the years. I just can't wait for her upcoming film The Watchers which is directed by M Night Shyamalan's daughter.

I am so happy for Dakota Fanning to be in this role🎉

Again? She's been acting ALL THIS TIME, both on TV and in film. Just because she's not as ''hollywood'', doesn't mean she ''disappeared''.

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Agreed! She not the type of actress that always have to be in the spotlight!

She’s never stopped acting since she was a kid. You might not have seen what she has been doing. That’s a different matter.

Totally agree. He should have WON the Oscar. x

Paul Mescal was amazing too

He was good but the Freddy character was awful. The actor is so bad. Lacks charisma, such a different performance to the brilliant PS Hoffman. So so bad

Like Hitchcock 🤦. Wgaf about the Oscars

​@@FC-gq7fbStings daughter 🤦

Take the entire day to watch it. I went down this rabbit hole yesterday. Could rip myself away from it anymore.... it is awesome!

I wish Damon had changed roles with Jude Law.

@@magloyd4907 That is an interesting thought. I dunno - again, Jude can have a menacing quality to him, and Matt just looked so perfectly 'sweet', baby-faced, and seemingly out of his depth in the part.

@@magloyd4907 oh, and let us not forget the wonderful Philip Seymour Hoffman as the doomed Freddie Miles. Hoffman played snobby sarcastic miserable to perfection.

What you're calling "the original" wasn't the original, by the way. Purple Noon was the original, and it was by far the best.

I think Andrew Scott will do a good job - but to be honest, he's too old. Tom's supposed to be in his early twenties and well Andrew Scott clearly isn't.

I never believed Riley’s

Black

Waaaay overdue

how dare you call upon the ghost of Dean Cain past!!

🤭

Same!! I can’t wait for this to come out💕

Never saw the other ones? Malkovich played the character in Ripley’s Game, which is a tight little movie, with a little of little eccentricities, of the older Ridley. Then there was Barry Pepper in Ripley Underground a couple years later, in a movie that was pretty much buried. I didn’t even hear about it, until a decade after its release. Very different movies, from the 90’s, Talented Mr Ripley. *oh, and there’s one with Dennis Hopper as Ridley, but I can’t remember the name. It’s from the 70’s. There’s also Purple Noon, which is what Talented Mr Ripley was a remake of.

Alain Delon was better.

It as all from a series of novels if I recall correctly. Where Tom Ripley always just escapes from the police, think they were written in the 60s or 70s.

John Malkovich played him too in one film, he was exceptional!

You rarely comment but what a great comment it was, quality over quantity friend :)

@@umbertoaguiar I don't think OP will ever respond to you, by the sounds of it he has far more important tasks :)

@@umbertoaguiar I guess you're not used to being around intelligent people. That is my first thought about you. My second, is that you're shallow and would rather attack someone that holds value to something you do not. My third thought is that you're so used to 'shoot-em-up' dreck like "John Wick" that to be convinced of anything, you would need explosions and gunfire to be (literally) happening around you as you read someone's post. And since your reading comprehension is lacking I'll repeat "as an adult" so to extrapolate my position. I also attend theatre and opera quite frequently, the latter less so, but I have a grasp on approach, lighting, writing and direction that you may not be prepared for. You're looking good on KZfaq umber...way to go!

@@salturpasta6204 If you are to believe him. I don't.

Alain Delon is the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be.

@@Factboy12 He was great too. I'm open to a different interpretation this time around.

Me too😂

Same 😂

And for those who have - see it again! It’s a film for the ages, like this series.

Having seen both the Delon and Damon performances, both excellent in their portrayals, I can tell you Andrew Scott's is my favorite.

Same! Andrew is a terrific actor and he's always great.

CAME TO WRITE THIS HAHA

Yes, absolutely!!!!!!

Yessss!!! Absolutely

I saw the trailer and said “OH HELL NO, DAT NIKKA GAY”

They do alot.

Check out American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders -- it was insanely good

They actually do a lot.. their main problem is making good films

BTW, The Gentlemen is yet another good series to look forward to on Netflix. Guy Ritchie, Theo James et al

and, best of all, Philip Seymour Hoffman.

yeah! Miss ya, PSH. Ain't the same. Just ain't the same 🥲🥺. @@arai4tim

@@arai4timYou are too right. R.I.P to Phillip Seymour Hoffman how could I forget?

There isd no need for a remake that just happens to be B+W

If you think the Damon version was amazing, watch the original version with Alain Delon, its even better

The René Clément movie with Alain Delon is going to be a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very hard act to follow

The swimsuit HAD A BELT!!!

I was in awe by the cinematography the whole time.

Preach!

You should watch"Plein Soleil" with Alain Delon (entre autres), the original one ...

@@fredericlasserre7618 Yes, that's good as is the Anthony Minghella version.

The Rene Clement (French) version is the ONLY version.

The Rene Clement version ! Alain Delon. BEST.

The cat is a gorgeous Maine Coon, called Lucio in the series and King in the real life...

I agree, there was a certain innocence that he had, whether it was the character not understanding how evil he could be, or the evil just being able to put on a simple face. Either way he played it so brilliantly. Definitely looking forward to the series!

Many truly unscrupulous persons are in denial. Yes, I could picture Matt Damon’s Tom in real life. Many real life baddies look innocent, harmless, charming, and they fool so many people. I’m not feeling this version though maybe it’s just the trailer painting a false picture. The machiavellianism is written too plainly on Tom’s face. No one would trust him.

If you haven't read it yet, read the book. This is the REAL Tom Ripley....in the book. Andrews comes very close.

Exactly! Matt’s Ripley gives me secondary embarassement throughout the whole movie, it’s his genius performance of being awkward yet sharply focused on his goal to leave behind all the frustration he has had in his life…his Ripley is the best ever I think. ❤

@@user-tx3vd4tb8d Andrew Scott couldn't be more different than the Tom in the book. Clearly, you didn't read the book but is referring to it anyway. Tom is a wolf in sheep's clothing as the poster LondonPride wrote. But Scott is just the wolf. Moreover, Andrew Scott looks miserable all the time, even in the few occasions when he smiles. Matt Damon is good but Alain Delon is the best Tom Ripley and the closer to the book. Just watch him in Plein Soleil and see how different he is to the nonsensical interpretation of Andrew Scott.

Jude Law would've made a better Ripley than Damon.

Okay, you wrote your comment before the series so you didn't know that Andrew Scott was badly miscast. He doesn't play a much more mature Tom Ripley. He is supposed to be 25 in the series! This is the from the first episode: Dickie's mother asks him "Did you go to college here (NY) ?" He lies and says Princeton. Her reply : Your parents must be very proud of you!" Now who would tell that to an "aged", "mature" Tom? She said that to a personage who was supposed to be 25! And Matt Damon's was not the original film as so many are saying. It's depressing that so many live as if cinema was invented in the 1990s. But the age difference is the least of it. Tom is supposed to be a wolf in sheep's clothes as the poster LondonPride25 wrote. But Scott is only wolf. The best way to see how mediocre and nonsensical is Scott's interpretation of Tom Ripley is to watch the really original movie with Alain Delon, an excellent Ripley according to Patricia Highsmith herself.
