Kevin Spacey loses role over sexual misconduct charges

LOS ANGELES: Dark clouds still loom over famed actor Kevin Spacey after allegations of sexual assault were leveled against him.

After Spacey was pulled off from the cast of ‘House of Cards’, Ridley Scott - director of film ‘All The Money In The World’ – confirmed that he has replaced Spacey by Christopher Plummer in the film.

The movie scenes then had to be re-filmed without Spacey.

All set to be released on Dec 22, Ridley Scott talked about the troubles he went through after deciding to replace Spacey so late.

When asked about when he came to know about the news of Spacey’s sexual misconduct, Ridley said, “I was finished with the film and was in Abbey Road finalizing the music. Someone was like: ‘Guess what?’ And that’s where it began.

“I sat and thought about it and realized, we cannot. You can’t tolerate any kind of behavior like that. And it will affect the film. We cannot let one person’s action affect the good work of all these other people. It’s that simple.”

On the contrary Ridley said that he was totally satisfied with Spacey’s performance in the film.
