Kevin Spacey had been set to play J. Paul Getty in All the Money in the World (2017). Still, in the wake of serious sexual misconduct allegations that surfaced in October 2017, director Ridley Scott decided to replace him with Christopher Plummer merely six weeks before the scheduled release of the film. Spacey reportedly had already shot his scenes, for which he was paid $1 million.

Plummer's reshoots took ten days and added $10 million to the production, including bringing back other cast members to reshoot scenes.
