All the Money in the World starring Kevin Spacey is moving forward with its December release date despite disturbing allegations towards the actor.
Yesterday actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey off sexually assaulting him when he was just 14 years old back in 1986. Spacey’s response to the claim was criticised as he chose the moment to come out as a gay man, with many in the gay community accusing Spacey of trying to deflect attention away from the allegation of molestation.
House of Cards, in which Spacey stars, has since been cancelled, with Netflix stating the next season will be its last.
Spacey’s All the Money in the World, however, is going forward. The movie, directed by Ridley Scott, is still set to premiere at the AFI Fest in November according to the festival.
All the Money in the World is being released by Sony’s TriStar Pictures who have not commented on the original story by Variety.
Spacey was seen as a potential Oscar nominee for the film, but with his career now in jeopardy that would seem unlikely.

Rome, 1973. Masked men kidnap a teenage boy named Paul (Charlie Plummer). His grandfather, J. Paul Getty (Kevin Spacey), is the richest man in the world, a billionaire oil magnate, but he’s notoriously miserly. His favorite grandson’s abduction is not reason enough for him to part with any of his fortune. All the Money in the World follows Gail, (Michelle Williams), Paul’s devoted, strong-willed mother, who unlike Getty, has consistently chosen her children over his fortune. Her son’s life in the balance with time running out, she attempts to sway Getty even as her son’s mob captors become increasingly more determined, volatile and brutal. When Getty sends his enigmatic security man Fletcher Chace (Mark Wahlberg) to look after his interests, he and Gail become unlikely allies in this race against time that ultimately reveals the true and lasting value of love over money.
All the Money in the World is set for release on December 8th.
