Summer is here, and the sun continues to shine just like Queue's Issue 17 cover stars: Ripley's chameleonic leading man Andrew Scott and the dynamic duo at the heart of the funny and affecting road trip documentary Will & Harper, Will Ferrell and Harper Steele.
In the new issue, Scott reveals how he approached his definitive Emmy Award-nominated performance in Steven Zaillian's highly acclaimed limited series - in his hands, the infamous grifter introduced in Patricia Highsmith's now canonical 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley is an expert at self-preservation, driven by desire and greed. What's gripping about the show is that we see the logic of what he has to do to survive, and each episode leads us in a very particular way, Scott says. We spend time with the character when he's doing these things and [see] how much of an expert he isn't. Sometimes what he's really talented at is being able to think really quickly.
If Ripley is a portrait of an unknowable cipher, Will & Harper, by contrast, is an engaging celebration of living one's truth. The documentary, coming to Netflix this fall, sees comedian Ferrell and writer Steele, who met during their Saturday Night Live days, reconnect as they embark on a transformative trip across the U.S. in the wake of Steele's gender transition. [The documentary] is an incredibly personal story about two close friends and their open and honest dialogue and journey through change, director Josh Greenbaum tells Queue. Adds Steele: A lot of people could have asked me to do this, and it wouldn't have made sense, but it makes sense with Will.
Our 17th issue features another profoundly personal project: Richard Gadd's limited series Baby Reindeer, which recently earned 11 Emmy Award nominations including acting nods for stars Gadd, Jessica Gunning, and Nava Mau. Queue sat down with the show's creator and star, who described the challenges of examining the traumas that helped shape him as an artist, and we also caught up with the series' breakthrough performer Gunning, who was thrilled to be cast as Martha, the deeply lonely stalker at the center of Baby Reindeer.
Queue also salutes Peter Morgan's stately drama The Crown, which celebrated its sixth and final season with a raft of Emmy Award nominations including for Outstanding Drama Series. We explore the making of the 60th and final episode, Sleep, Dearie Sleep, which sees Queen Elizabeth (Imelda Staunton) contemplating her own mortality and pondering whether to abdicate the throne to her son Charles (Dominic West).
A wealth of superb documentaries and docuseries grace the latest issue, not least of which is the Emmy-nominated series BECKHAM, director Fisher Stevens's chronicle of the life of football phenom David Beckham. Another cultural icon's journey is examined in Emmy-winning director R.J. Cutler's upcoming MARTHA, about media mogul and lifestyle guru Martha Stewart, who offers a frank and sometimes shocking account of her exceptional life. I knew that the various narratives of her story had been told in different ways, but never from her perspective - never by her, Cutler says. She was open.
This year's nonfiction films also highlight several studies of incredible people: Daughters sees four girls prepare for a daddy-daughter dance with their incarcerated fathers. Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa traces the unexpected triumphs and turmoil of a Connecticut single mother, who also happens to be the first Nepali woman to conquer Mount Everest. Skywalkers: A Love Story is another high-flying documentary, following rooftoppers and lovers Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus as they attempt to reach the top of Malaysia's Merdeka 118 super-skyscraper - without any climbing or safety gear.
Finally, Queue 17 offers a sneak peek at the films everyone will be raving about this fall - including Cannes Film Festival sensation Emilia P rez, family drama His Three Daughters, August Wilson adaptation The Piano Lesson, and Tyler Perry's The Six Triple Eight, which honors the inspiring soldiers of the Women's Army Corps, the only unit of color to be sent overseas during World War II.
Head to the Netflix shop and order the latest issue of Queue to sample these stories and much, much more.
