I absolutely love the ending of The Talented Mr Ripley.

I love that Tom was able to trust Peter enough to tell him about his past and I love that Peter basically said "Y'know what, I love you no matter what. You are smart, sexy, talented and Dickie and Freddie were kind of assholes, so they should've seen it coming." And the next day they watch the sunset on the boat together. And when Meredith shows up, Tom is all like "Hey, look who I found on the boat?" and Peter played along "Such a coincidence we were on this boat together, and yet Dickie and I have decided are getting married next month" and Meredith was all like "I can't blame either of you. Can I be maid of honour?" and she was and they lived happily ever after.

Truly a classic.

'Few films are as ravishing and effortlessly stylish as Anthony Minghella’s The Talented Mr Ripley, the glorious 1999 thriller which sees the likes of Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Cate Blanchett and Philip Seymour Hoffman swanning around ’50s Italy. Friendships are forged through deception, obsessions develop, jealousies arise and the net slowly closes in on our titular anti-hero – and all the while, the fashion, courtesy of costume designers Ann Roth and Gary Jones, is sensational.

There’s exceptional menswear, of course – louche shirting, perfectly tailored suits, Gucci loafers and signet rings, as worn by Law’s Dickie Greenleaf and then Damon’s Tom Ripley, as he adopts his former friend’s identity – but the two sartorial scene-stealers are, undoubtedly, Paltrow’s sweet-natured Marge Sherwood and Blanchett’s gregarious socialite Meredith Logue.

The former’s uniform of crisp white shirts, tortoiseshell headbands and floral midi-skirts have since become synonymous with laidback summer holiday style, and symbolise her youthful exuberance and naivete. Then, as the seasons change, the plot takes a darker turn and she grows suspicious of Tom, she begins covering up – firstly in sumptuous knits and then, as the story takes her from southern Italy to Rome and then to Venice, sleek trenches and a showstopping leopard-print number with a matching hat.

This incredible fashion legacy poses a challenge for Ripley, Netflix’s upcoming, Steven Zaillian-directed retelling of the Patricia Highsmith classic, this time starring Andrew Scott, Dakota Fanning and Johnny Flynn. Filmed in luminous black and white, in place of Minghella’s sun-soaked palette of pastels, it, perhaps wisely, takes an entirely different approach, with costumers Giovanni Casalnuovo and Maurizio Millenotti dressing its stars in more subdued and pared back ensembles – think artfully crumpled cotton shirts, dark tweed, Aran knits and boatneck tops which, for Fanning’s take on Marge, are paired with a slicked back low bun and minimal make-up. It’s simple, certainly, but also impossibly chic...'

i know the talented mr. ripley is set in the late 50s and carol is set in the early 50s so the ages wouldn’t match up but sometimes i imagine that meredith logue and carol aird are twin sisters in the patricia highsmith cinematic universe

Jude Law and Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley (Anthony Minghella, 1999)

Cast: Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Cate Blanchett, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jack Davenport, James Rebhorn, Sergio Rubini, Philip Baker Hall, Celia Weston. Screenplay: Anthony Minghella, based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith. Cinematography: John Seale. Production design: Roy Walker. Film editing: Walter Murch. Music: Gabriel Yared.

This second film version of Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Talented Mr. Ripley suffers from a miscast lead and an over-detailed screenplay. That it suffers by comparison to the earlier version, René Clément's Purple Noon (1960), is only incidental – comparisons, as people have been saying since the 15th century or longer, are odious. More to the point is that Matt Damon was, at this point in his career, not up to the role of Highsmith’s charming demon, Tom Ripley. Damon has since become a major star and a very good actor, but The Talented Mr. Ripley appeared only two years after his breakthrough role in Gus Van Sant's Good Will Hunting – a part tailor-made for the young Damon, and not just because he co-wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay. Still in his twenties when he played Tom Ripley, Damon hadn’t quite grown into his face: He seems all teeth and youthful mannerisms, not at all the kind of person to attract the friendship of a Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law). His transformation from the poor but upwardly mobile Ripley to masquerading as the wealthy, cosmopolitan Greenleaf feels spurred by the urgency of the moment and not by any innate corruption of the soul, which should be the essence of Ripley. Damon’s Ripley could never grow into the killer con-artist that carried Highsmith’s books into four sequels. But again with the comparisons: Damon is following in the footsteps of Alain Delon, whose spectacularly handsome Ripley in Purple Noon is the embodiment of Shakespeare’s dictum that “sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds.” It also doesn’t help that Damon’s Ripley is matched with Law’s Dickie. I’m not the only one who has wished that Law had been cast as Ripley instead. Even Leonardo DiCaprio, originally sought for the role, might have made a more convincing Ripley than Damon. But the fault also lies in Anthony Minghella’s screenplay, which stretches and pads the story into a 139-minute run time, giving us more of Ripley’s backstory – how he met Dickie’s father and got the commission to bring Dickie home, and how he first pretended to be Dickie when he met Meredith Logue (Cate Blanchett) on the trip to Europe – than is absolutely necessary. Again, Purple Noon began in medias res, with Ripley out sailing with Greenleaf and Marge, and the backstory only gradually emerged. Minghella has fallen into a common error of American filmmakers: the desire to explain too much to the audience. The Talented Mr. Ripley is a handsome film, and there are some fine performances: Seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman in movies always gives me a pang of loss, and his Freddie Miles is a superbly snotty, wicked creation. It’s the one point in the movie when we actually root for Ripley to kill someone. Blanchett’s Meredith is a small role, but Blanchett makes us wish there were more of it. And I think I prefer the ending of Minghella’s film to that of Purple Noon. Both leave Ripley on the brink of being found out, but Minghella gives us a better tease: His Ripley faces a dilemma he has resolved before, that of disposing of a body.

the sheer poetry in tom ripley telling peter smith-kingsley that he keeps all the bad things he's done inside a metaphorical basement, locks it up tight, but sometimes he meets people that he wants to hand the key to so badly. tom giving peter the key to his apartment so he could leave and come back without having to knock, the act itself so insignificant and mostly related to the scene at hand but there's something so tender about the way they said "my key", "your key", gazing at each other as if saying what words cannot, and it seems as if tom is going to open up to peter. tom evidently growing more and more comfortable with peter the more time they spend with each other. tom glowing every time he sees peter, wanting so badly to give him the key to the basement. peter starting to question things about tom who's had to kill two people already to keep living this wonderful life. tom dodging his questions by once again talking about the basement and the bad things he's done and tom not wanting to kill peter but realizing if he doesn't he'll most likely be turned in to the police and lose the trust of the one person he could've bared his sins to. tom asking peter to tell him of all his good traits and peter softly doing so—"tom is talented", "tom is beautiful". tom resting on peter's back, listening to him continue listing all this good—"tom is not a nobody", "tom has someone to love him"—tom hearing peter indirectly tell him he loves him and tom killing him still. tom, for the first time in the past few months, being visibly torn by what he did. and god the poetry in the movie ending with the camera, at first moving around the space, now stopping at the front corner, the dark encapsulating the room, shaped like a door closing, peter gone, and the basement sealed permanently with all the bad, the secrets, the skeletons, and tom inside it.

'The story of the titular grifter who becomes obsessed with a rebellious playboy, brought to life by Anthony Minghella in the irresistible 1999 film of the same name, is making its way to the small screen. Here’s everything we know so far.

In a nutshell:

The Talented Mr. Ripley—the gripping Patricia Highsmith novel which formed the basis for the sun-soaked thriller starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jude Law—is being turned into a TV series titled Ripley, with Andrew Scott, Dakota Fanning, and Johnny Flynn.

Is there a trailer for Ripley?

Yes, there are two—and they’re nothing like what you might have expected...

Who will star in Ripley?

Andrew Scott, the hot priest from Fleabag who charmed audiences more recently in The Pursuit of Love and is currently generating Oscar buzz for his heartbreaking turn in All of us Strangers, is taking on the part of Tom Ripley for the show’s eight-episode run. In the 1999 film, the titular conman journeys to Italy to strike up a friendship with Dickie Greenleaf, the son of a shipping magnate, who has settled there with his girlfriend Marge Sherwood. Stepping into Jude Law’s butter-soft Gucci loafers as Greenleaf? None other than Emma’s Johnny Flynn, while Dakota Fanning is set to don crisp white shirts, printed midi skirts, and a series of excellent coats as Sherwood.

“There’ve been various iterations of the character, some of which I’ve seen and some of which I’ve avoided,” Scott told Interview magazine in October 2021. “When you’re playing those famous literary characters, you don’t want to just copy. I’m interested in the idea of what queerness is, and otherness, because that’s what I think it’s about. The reason he’s such an interesting character is you can’t quite place him. If Tom Ripley was in a gay bar, I’m not sure that he would fit in there. Nor do I think he’s a straight character. I think he’s a queer character, in the sense that he’s very other. What’s his relationship with sex, or death, or with family or friends? It’s interesting that a character is the sum of the parts that you don’t have to play.”

Meanwhile, Italian actor Pasquale Esposito has also confirmed that he’s joined the project in a supporting part, and musician and actor Eliot Sumner (No Time to Die) will appear in a recurring role as a friend of Greenleaf’s who becomes increasingly suspicious of Ripley. Then there’s screen legend John Malkovich, who’s been spotted on set in Venice filming scenes with Scott (funnily enough, Malkovich himself played the sociopath in 2002’s Ripley’s Game).

What's the plot of Ripley?

The drama’s official log line states that it will follow “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.” Fans of both Patricia Highsmith’s novel and Anthony Minghella’s big-screen adaptation will be familiar with what happens next: After inserting himself into the idyllic life Greenleaf and Sherwood have built together, Ripley becomes obsessed with the former and is hurt when Greenleaf seems to prefer the company of his socialite friend Freddie Miles. Ripley begins trying on Greenleaf’s clothes and adopting his mannerisms, which disconcerts him and eventually leads to an explosive confrontation in which—spoiler alert—Greenleaf is killed.

Ripley then assumes Greenleaf’s identity, draws on his generous allowance, and courts the gregarious Meredith Logue, only to run into Sherwood and Miles again. As the net seems to close around him, Ripley proves that there’s nothing he wouldn’t do to keep up appearances.

Who's behind the camera on Ripley?

All eight episodes of Ripley will be written and directed by Steven Zaillian, who co-created the tense police procedural The Night Of and won an Oscar for penning Schindler’s List. The other screenwriting credits to his name? American Gangster, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Irishman, and Gangs of New York, suggesting that Ripley will be a hardboiled crime drama in the same vein rather than a frothier Italian romp.

What will the costumes in Ripley look like?

The Talented Mr Ripley remains one of the most stylish films of all time—a swoon-worthy parade of buttery knitwear, leopard-print coats and sumptuous opera capes—meaning that Ripley has a lot to live up to. If its first set of stills are anything to go by, though, it seems the new show will be far more subdued, sartorially speaking, but no less chic.

When will Ripley be released?

Netflix has confirmed that Ripley will arrive on screens on April 4, 2024.

Will there be future seasons of Ripley?

Almost certainly. Zaillian has reportedly optioned all five of Highsmith’s novels about Ripley—The Talented Mr. Ripley, Ripley Under Ground, Ripley’s Game, The Boy Who Followed Ripley, and Ripley Under Water. They track the chancer as he travels from Greece to the French countryside, London, Salzburg, Berlin, and Tangier, marrying heiresses, forging paintings, and becoming entangled with the mafia.

How should I entertain myself until Ripley premieres?

Start by watching the ravishing 1999 film and work your way through Highsmith’s “Ripliad” stat. Eager to see more scammers on screen, as they assume false identities and go to great lengths to protect their secrets? Binge Netflix’s Inventing Anna and The Tinder Swindler as well as the BBC’s Chloe.'

The Talented Mr. Ripley: Tom Ripley: INFJ 3w2

Myers Briggs: INFJ

Ni: Tom is good at anticipating what other people are going to do next. He is a clever strategist and plans out his crimes. He is intuitive about other people and uses his insights into other people’s thoughts to cover up his murders. Tom skillfully predicts future outcomes and adjusts his plans accordingly. He plans everything he does and is always focused on the big picture.

Fe: Tom always knows what to say to make people like him. He charms Meredith into thinking he’s rich like her, and he charms Marge and Dickie by telling them what they want to hear. He is outwardly emotional and prone to outbursts when he’s upset because he can’t hold his emotions in. He also has no problems with lying about who he is in order to get ahead, manipulating other’s feelings to get what he wants.

Ti: Tom is clever and methodical in his cover ups. He sends letters to himself to make it look like Dickie’s still alive, then forges a suicide note by Dickie to cover up both Dickie’s and Freddie’s deaths when people start to get suspicious of him, and lies to Marge about how he got Dickie’s rings.

Se: Tom relies on clever planning mostly but can improvise in the moment when he needs to. He can sometimes be too impulsive and nearly ruins his own plans, and finds it easier to plan ahead.

Enneagram: 3w2

Tom knows how to charm people into liking him. He manipulates Marge, Dickie and Peter so that he can get ahead. He hates not having money, and mooches off Dickie to enjoy a life he never could have before. He pretends to be Dickie to get Meredith to like him and later impersonates Dickie to keep living the life he desperately wants. He is also very “helpful” to Dickie and Marge- he agrees to keep Dickie’s secret after Silvana’s death, he lets Marge confide in him in order to make her feel loved so he can manipulate her. He needs to feel loved and becomes devastated when Dickie eventually rejects him, his 2 wing disintegrating to 8 rage when he kills Dickie.
