Ridley Scott premiered "All the Money in the World" on December 25. The film recounts the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III in Rome and the refusal of his moneygrubber grandfather J. Paul Getty, the richest man in the world at that time to pay any ransom whatsoever for his release.
In order to complete the successful depiction of the slow negotiations between the kidnapping gang and the Getty family, Ridley Scott had to stop the production of the film to recast his principal actor, the disgraced Kevin Spacey for Christopher Plummer to play the tightwad old tycoon.
