At the end of 2019, the BBC program Newsnight broadcast an interview with Prince Andrew.
The interview made the prince appear in such bad days that he had to leave his official duties.
Now Deadline reports that the prelude to the interview will be a film entitled "Scoop".
Peter Moffat, known for the TV series "Your honor", will write the script and the recordings are expected to start in November.
According to Moffat, the film is about how the BBC got the interview and why Prince Andrew showed up at all, rather than the actual filming.
The film will be based on parts of the book "Scoops: Behind the scenes of the BBC's most shocking interviews", written by Newsnight producer Sam McAlister.
The sweat defense
Andrew was confronted with information that he had forced sex from a then 17-year-old girl 20 years ago.
Journalist Emily Maitlis says during the interview that the woman described the evening in question in detail - that she and the prince would have danced and that he then sweated profusely.
The prince's defense was that he had a strange ailment which meant that he did not sweat at the time after receiving an overdose of adrenaline from when he was shot during the Falklands War.
The interview also dealt with Andrew's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, convicted of pedophilia, who took his own life in his prison cell where he was awaiting prosecution for the abuse of dozens of underage girls during the years 2002-2005.
