'Andrew Scott is stepping into the role of the infamous Tom Ripley in Netflix’s Ripley. Because of Ripley’s criminal actions, the character has drawn comparisons to another wicked character played by Scott, Jim Moriarty in Sherlock. Despite the immoral characteristics shared by the two characters, Scott believes Moriarty is a villain while Ripley is an anti-hero.
“It does feel different [to playing Moriarty],” Scott told Radio 4’s Today. “As Moriarty, I felt like I was playing a villain, and for some reason, I retreat against calling Ripley a villain. He’s an anti-hero, and it’s up to me to make the audience know what it’s like to be Ripley, not to be a victim of Tom Ripley. We should empathize with him. He is the protagonist in this.”
What to Expect in Ripley?
Based on Patricia Highsmith’s bestselling novels, Scott stars as Tom Ripley with Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood and Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf. Additional cast members include Eliot Sumner, Maurizio Lombardi, Margherita Buy, John Malkovich, Kenneth Lonergan, and Ann Cusack.
Netflix’s official synopsis reads: “Tom Ripley, a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York, is hired by a wealthy man to travel to Italy to try to convince his vagabond son to return home. Tom’s acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud, and murder.”
Anthony Minghella previously adapted Highsmith’s novel in 1999 for The Talented Mr. Ripley. The Oscar-nominated film starred Matt Damon as Tom Ripley, Gwyneth Paltrow as Marge Sherwood, and Jude Law as Dickie Greenleaf.
Ripley is written, directed, and created by Academy Award-winner Steven Zaillian. Executive producers include Zaillian, Garrett Basch, Clayton Townsend, Guymon Casady, Ben Forkner, Sharon Levy, and Philipp Keel of Diogenes. Scott will serve as a producer on Ripley.
Originally conceived to air on Showtime, Ripley will stream on Netflix on April 4.'

Hoy Ed y Anya nos han visitado a la habitación que ocupamos en el Hospital Clínico. Han dejado a Bastian con su abuela y sus bisabuelos, siendo la primera vez que se separaban de él y se les notaba a ambos bastante.
Nos han traído regalitos para las gemelas: una colonia para ayudarlas a conciliar el sueño, dos albornoces en forma de ratón bastante graciosos, y unos bodies de “copiar y pegar” también bastante divertidos. Han estado con nosotros un ratito y, después, han vuelto a por Bastian. A ambos se les ve muy felices en su nueva vida como padres.

Also have to refrain from making any new fankids until at least the Galar Trio’s groups + their full individual profiles are done.
UPDATES:
(11/25/2020) Caved and will now be adding Rinne & Tensei to this challlenge.
(12/28/2021) Oh man added a bunch more fankids before even finishing this. Will maybe reshuffle this to add the others but first of all I changed a few names so edited to reflect that.
Un nuevo cumpleaños más con ellos. Todos los que llevo viviendo desde que los tengo en mi vida, están siendo inolvidables y el de este año no iba a ser diferente.
Anya nos ha estado haciendo a Lizzy y a mí bodypainting. Mi barriga ha acabado sacada de un cuento de hadas, con sus mariposas y sus flores. Y luego, Ed ha sido el que ha pintado la de su mujer para que las tres pudiéramos tener nuestro vientre pintado, además de lleno de vida.
Por último han llegado los regalos, que este año comparto con mis gemelas y el amor de mi vida.
On May 18, 1946, radio’s “Academy Award Theatre” presented a 30-minute version of My Sister Eileen, a 1942 film based on the 1940 play of the same title, which in turn was based on a series of autobiographical short stories by Ruth McKenney originally published in The New Yorker.
The film was directed by Alexander Hall, one time fiancée of Lucille Ball and starred Rosalind Russell as Ruth Sherwood and Janet Blair as her sister Eileen. Russell and Blair both reprised their roles for this radio production.
As the program neared its conclusion, the announcer said that listeners could look forward to an all-new radio serialization of My Sister Eileen starring Lucille Ball as Ruth, with the script adapted by Arthur Kurlan. The newspapers (above) also picked up the item. Unfortunately, the show never materialized.
Instead, CBS created a similar series called My Friend Irma with Lucille Ball in mind for the lead. Writer Kurlan sued CBS for stealing his idea, citing the offer to Lucille Ball to play Irma as evidence. Ball was not cast and the role went to Marie Wilson. “Irma” premiered on radio in April 1947 and ran until August 1953, inspiring film and television adaptations. Instead, Lucille Ball created the role of Liz Cugat (later Liz Cooper) on the series “My Favorite Husband.”
1953 year was a busy year for Eileen, Lucy, and Irma. Kurlan finally settled his suit with CBS and My Sister Eileen was made into a Broadway musical, once again starring Roz Russell as Ruth, now re-titled Wonderful Town with music by Leonard Bernstein, and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. The role won Russell a Tony Award and the cover of Time Magazine!
A year earlier CBS had moved “Irma” to TV, again starring Wilson, along with her radio co-star Gloria Gordon, who just happened to be the mother of Gale Gordon. If you’ve ever wondered why Mr. Mooney’s un-seen wife was named Irma, this is it! Wilson and Gloria Gordon had also starred in a 1949 film version of the show. “Irma” and “I Love Lucy” were both part of “Stars in the Eye” a November 1952 special celebrating the opening of CBS’s Television City facility.
In 1955, Hollywood re-made My Sister Eileen - without Russell, who was replaced by Betty Garrett. This was to become a bone of contention with Russell, who like Lucy’s friend Ethel Merman, was overlooked when her stage hits were turned into films. When her stage and screen triumph Auntie Mame was musicalized in 1964, Angela Lansbury played the title role. But both Angela and Roz were suitably suited when Lucy played the role on film in 1974.
Roz was not through with the material just yet. In 1958, she starred in a live television production of Wonderful Town for CBS.
But CBS wasn’t finished with My Sister Eileen just yet either. In May 1960 - the very same month that Lucy Ricardo made her final appearance - Eileen was made into a series starring stage dynamo Elaine Stritch. Like Merman and Russell before her - Stritch found that she was hot on stage, but not on film.
Wonderful Town was revived in London in 1986 (starring Maureen Lipman) and on Broadway in 2003 (starring Donna Murphy, succeeded by Brook Shields). Although Lucille Ball never got to play Ruth Sherwood, her daughter Lucie did - in several Los Angeles productions of the musical in the 1990s.
