Kevin Spacey is getting cut out of Ridley Scott’s finished film “All the Money in the World” and replaced by Christopher Plummer just over one month before it’s supposed to hit theaters.

NEW YORK >> Hollywood director Ridley Scott’s madman feats of efficiency have long been legend. Now, he’s attempting what could be his greatest trick yet.

He plans to cut Kevin Spacey out of the already completed movie “All the Money in the World” and reshoot the actor’s many scenes with Christopher Plummer instead. And Scott intends to do it in time to make a release date just six weeks away.

Spacey — who was going to star in the movie as the oil tycoon J. Paul Getty — has been hit by a flood of sexual harassment and assault allegations.
