Ridley Scott has broken his silence about his decision to re-shoot the entirety of his new movie All the Money In the World, replacing the disgraced Kevin Spacey with Christopher Plummer in the lead role.

When the news broke in late October that Spacey had been accused by numerous men of inappropriate sexual conduct, the British director was forced into a difficult decision. He announced back on November 8th that he would re-cast the role of oil magnate John Paul Getty III with Christopher Plummer in the role instead of Spacey, shooting all of his scenes again while still intending to honour the December 22nd release date.

It’s a daunting task, but Scott told Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday (November 29th) that everything was on course to meet the original deadline.

British police are investigating the disgraced Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey over a second sexual assault alleged to have taken place in London, it has been reported.

The 58 year old Hollywood actor had already been subject to an investigation from Scotland Yard, following an allegation that he forced himself onto a man at his flat in the British capital in 2008, which was launched earlier this month.

However, Spacey is now being investigated by the Metropolitan Police over a second allegation involving another man, dating back to 2005. Both incidents occurred while the actor was the artistic director at the Old Vic theatre in Lambeth.

The Old Vic theatre has received 20 personal testimonies of inappropriate behaviour against Kevin Spacey during his time as artistic director at the London venue, it has confirmed.

An investigation opened by The Old Vic, following allegations that the actor had sexually assaulted a number of male staff members and actors while working there between 2004 and 2015, led to 20 individuals coming forward to claim sexual misconduct inflicted on them by Spacey.

Releasing a statement to the media on Thursday (November 16th), the venue said that a “cult of personality” had been allowed to build up around Spacey, and that his status and stardom made people – in particular junior staff and actors – reluctant to come forward.

Though removing Kevin Spacey from upcoming Ridley Scott film 'All The Money In The World' was undoubtedly the best decision after a slew of accusations against the actor, alleging sexual assault at various stages over the past 30 or so years, it's not going to be a cheap move to pull off. The film's set to hit the big screen in just over a month, and with Christopher Plummer jumping on board in the role of billionaire J. Paul Getty, those working on the picture have to pull out all the stops to make sure it'll be ready in time.

Sony and the film's financiers Imperative Entertainment were thinking about pushing the movie back to a January 2018 release, but with FX series 'Trust' from Danny Boyle also exploring the story of Getty's kidnapping, they're keen to not have to go to battle with the show, keeping their USP with a December drop.

They say that where there’s a will, there’s a way, but that could be stretching it in the case of the imminently released movie All the Money in the World, whose producers have decided to recast the film with Christopher Plummer replacing the disgraced Kevin Spacey, a little over a month before its official cinematic release.

The movie is directed by Sir Ridley Scott and was to star Kevin Spacey in the lead role as the late oil magnate John Paul Getty.

However, since the numerous allegations of sexual misconduct against Spacey surfaced a fortnight ago and which have kept on coming, Scott and Sony/TriStar have taken the decision to re-shoot all of Spacey’s scenes with 87 year old actor Christopher Plummer in his place – but still intend to honour the scheduled release date of December 22nd!

Beset by accusations of sexual misconduct, actor Kevin Spacey has now been accused of sexually assaulting a male former employee on the set of his hit Netflix series ‘House of Cards’, it was reported yesterday evening.

In addition, eight former or current ‘House of Cards’ employees claimed that the 58 year old actor made the set of the series “a toxic workplace”, according to a CNN report on Thursday evening (November 2nd).

Their identities were withheld at their request, as they feared professional retribution, but all of them outlined Spacey’s behaviour as intimidating, with the actor allegedly targeting employees who were young and male, advancing on them with non-consensual touching and inappropriate comments.

After a week that has seen mounting allegations of sexual misconduct against him, actor Kevin Spacey has released a new statement saying that he is “seeking” treatment.

Spacey is one of several Hollywood figures who have dominated headlines in the last week accused of instances of sexual harassment or abuse, including filmmakers Brett Ratner and James Toback and veteran actor Dustin Hoffman.

The specific allegations against two-time Oscar-winner Spacey started earlier this week when actor Anthony Rapp claimed that Spacey had harassed him at a part when he was just 14 years old. Responding to that allegation, Spacey said that was “beyond horrified” and, while saying he didn’t recall the incident, was “sorry for the feelings [Rapp] describes having carried with him all these years.”

“I went up to order a drink and Kevin came up to me and put his arm around me,” Montana told the interviewer, saying that the ‘House of Cards’ actor had entered the establishment with a group of friends while he was editing a documentary. “He was telling me to come with him, to leave the bar. He put his hand on my crotch forcefully and grabbed my whole package.”

Nobody should ever feel as if they can't talk about their sexuality freely and openly, but sometimes coming out is completely the wrong response to a situation. 58-year-old Kevin Spacey has decided to confess that he's gay in the same breath as apologising for making sexual advances to 'Star Trek: Discovery' star Anthony Rapp when the latter was just 14, and many are accusing the older actor of archaically conflating homosexuality with paedophilia.

The 57 year old multiple Oscar winner and Emmy nominee might be most famous for his film and TV roles, such as American Beauty and Netflix's 'House of Cards', but theatre-goers will know that he has a long and rich association with the stage too.

Spacey picked up the Best Actor Tony for ‘Lost in Yonkers’ back in 1991, and has previously also served as the Artistic Director of the prestigious Old Vic Theatre Company in London for over a decade, appearing in numerous productions during his tenure there, including a Sam Mendes-directed production of ‘Richard III’ that drew a great deal of acclaim.

Filmmaking genius Edgar Wright has returned with another crime comedy epic entitled 'Baby Driver', starring Ansel Elgort and Kevin Spacey. Based on a previous music project of Wright's, the film is his first US venture and is set to arrive in August.

Ansel Elgort stars in 'Baby Driver'

The film follows a young man named Baby (Elgort) who happens to be an excellent getaway driver. He also has another unusual quirk; when he was a child, he was in a car accident that left him with a permanent ringing in his ears and as such constantly listens to music through his earphones to combat the sensation. It doesn't affect the way he works, however, and he's an indispensable part of Doc's (Spacey) criminal gang.
