Today in systemic sexism: It turns out that the wage gap between Oscar-winning actress Michelle Williams and former leader of the Funky Bunch Mark Wahlberg for Ridley Scott’s All The Money In The World was not confined to the film’s reshoots. In the same article in The Hollywood Reporter where it was revealed that…
Mark Wahlberg and his agents at WME have spun hard into damage control mode today, announcing that the actor—who was recently blasted in the public sphere for negotiating a $1.5 million reshoot fee on Ridley Scott’s All The Money In The World, while his co-star, Michelle Williams, was paid only a few thousand dollars…
Ridley Scott has previously indicated that he was proud of how the cast and crew of All The Money In The World came together to reshoot the film with Christopher Plummer in place of Kevin Spacey, when Spacey was dropped from the project after a number of actors accused him of sexual assault and harassment.

Whatever else can be said about Ridley Scott’s ripped-from-the-headlines thriller All The Money In The World, you’d never guess—if you didn’t know already—that one of its key roles was occupied by an entirely different actor just six weeks ago. Gone is Kevin Spacey, who buried himself deeply under mounds of old-age…
Ridley Scott’s upcoming John Paul Getty III kidnapping drama All The Money In The World has faced its fair share of troubles over the last month, as Scott and his crew raced to replace disgraced former star Kevin Spacey with a far more palatable Christopher Plummer. Ironically, that rush to reshoot the role of…
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony has pushed the release date of Ridley Scott’s All The Money In The World—a movie that does not have Kevin Spacey in it, so don’t bring up Kevin Spacey—from December 22 to December 25. Apparently, this has nothing to do with any Kevin Spacey-related controversies (because he’s…
So many movies, so little time. Every week brings a new crop of them, opening in multiplexes and arthouse theaters across the nation, and arriving in increasingly high volumes on streaming platforms like Netflix. How’s a voracious moviegoer to keep up? That’s where The A.V. Club comes in. The first week of every…
Hollywood is facing a long-overdue campaign of housecleaning at the moment, as decades-worth of accusations of sexual harassment and assault against powerful men are finally coming to light (and actually being listened to, for once). This sweeping out of the alleged bums has had any number of knock-on effects in the…
It’s nowhere near as long, detailed, or accompanied by a Zombies song as the first preview for Ridley Scott’s kidnapping drama, but the new All The Money In The World trailer now has Christopher Plummer in the role of J. Paul Getty.
In a move that makes it pretty obvious just how poisonous Kevin Spacey has become since the allegations about him sexually assaulting underage boys came out, Ridley Scott and Imperative Entertainment have decided to completely remove Spacey from All The Money In The World, a movie that was not only finished, but also …
The growing list of sexual harassment and assault allegations against Kevin Spacey (and his poorly received “apology”) have already started bringing down his acting career, with Netflix firing him from House Of Cards’ final season and abandoning plans for his Gore Vidal biopic, and now Sony Pictures has announced that…
As more young men come forward with accusations of harassment, assault, and other inappropriate sexual contact against Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey—including a new set of allegations brought to light by crew members on House Of Cards today—his sudden scandal is proving to be an increasing source of trouble for the…
The first trailer for Ridley Scott’s new historical kidnapping drama All The Money In The World arrived on the internet today, treating the world to Kevin Spacey’s most dramatic transformation since his talking cat movie Nine Lives. Spacey plays crusty old oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, the wealthy, craggy-faced…
Two projects about the 1973 kidnapping of heir J. Paul Getty III are casting right now: FX’s Danny Boyle limited series Trust, and Ridley Scott’s film All The Money In The World. Now, Scott has apparently picked the victim in his telling of the true crime tale. Charlie Plummer has landed the role, according to Variety…
Ridley Scott may be planning to make Alien prequels for as long as the world will let him, and he’s suggesting that his long-teased Gladiator sequel might actually happen, but apparently he still has time for a more low-key, prestige-friendly project on top of that sillier, more crowd-pleasing stuff.
