ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Paradox House presents... Episode 1 of Scripted, hosted by Daisy Lewis.
In our first week, launching us off in stellar fashion is Rupert Goold CBE.

Rupert's first feature film, True Story, starring James Franco and Jonah Hill for Plan B and Fox Searchlight in New York, was released. Most recently he directed Judy, written by Tom Edge; a biopic of Judy Garland, with Renée Zellweger playing the title role, for Pathe, Calamity Films and BBC. The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, receiving critical praise and multiple award nominations with Renee Zellweger sweeping the 2019-20 awards season, winning the Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG and Academy Award for Best Actress.
Daisy sits down to discuss all things film and television, his process as a director and the state of play of the industry as a whole.
