The 'Fleabag' star shares how his new Netflix drama differs from Matt Damon's 1999 film, 'The Talented Mr. Ripley.'follows Scott's character, a New York City grifter hired by the father of Dickie Greenleaf to bring his son home to the United States and enlist him in the family business. Things take a dark turn when Ripley finds himself enjoying the lifestyle a little too much and decides he will not let anything get in the way of his newfound happiness and freedom.
In the eight-episode series, set in the 1960s, Scott plays conman Tom Ripley, who is dispatched to Italy by a wealthy man in order to convince his wayward son to return home. Rather than focusing on bringing Dickie back home, however, Ripley becomes enamored by his lavish life abroad and deeply ingratiates himself into his wealthy world. The trailer, released last month, shows him even imitating Dickie's voice, attempting his casual American accent.
"Well, we are so lucky that we are friends in real life and got along so well," Fanning said."I think we have a very similar way of working and I just couldn't have asked for a better person to get to work with. And he's very unlike his character, thank goodness."
