Spacey dropped from Ridley Scott's film

November 09, 2017 10:34

In another blow to Kevin Spacey, director Ridley Scott has dropped the actor from his upcoming film "All The Money In The World", in wake of multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and harassment against him. The 68-year-old actor has been replaced by Christopher Plummer, who will now portray J Paul Getty in the story about the infamous 1973 kidnapping of his grandson, 16-year-old John Paul Getty III, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The move comes weeks before the release of the film on December 22. The movie, which was scheduled to close the AFI Fest, was pulled off from the event after Scott pressed for it. -- PTI
