All the Money in the World 2.0

They're already advertising this for a Dec 22 release. Shuck dont understand the technology that enables this, but apparently they replaced Kevin Spacey's parts with Christopher Plummer in just a few weeks. Incredible.

I remember vaguely when this took place (just in HS) but for the life of me can't recall what happened. Michelle Williams, Christopher Plummer, Ridley Scott - great. Is the grandson in the flik (Charlie Plummer) related to its now star Christopher Plummer?

There was a very interesting and informative article on the re-shooting of the movie in yesterday's (Sunday) NY Times Arts & Leisure section. The article describes how the director and producers made the decision to substitute Christopher Plummer (who's 88 years old, God bless him!) for Kevin Spacey, and how it was done in a very short time.

was there computer-assisted replacement, or did they reshoot lots of scenes?

The article said nothing about computers or CGI. I think they reshot all the scenes. They were fortunate in that Kevin Spacey's scenes didn't involve large numbers of actors, so they needed to recall only a few actors for the filming.

Saw the movie. One of the only times I have ever liked Michelle Williams. I give it a 6.5 out of 10. They did re-shoot all of the scenes with Plummer who did a good job - but not award winning in my opinion. I also think they took a lot of literary license with the facts. Much preferred "Molly's Game.'
