Sony Pictures has released a new trailer forAll the Money in the World, offering the most extensive look atRidley Scott’s new thriller yet. The film famously underwent reshoots mere weeks ago to replaceKevin SpaceywithChristopher Plummer, and we get a great look at the fruits of that labor here. The transition is ridiculously seamless, with the length ofMark Wahlberg’s hair serving as the only minor tell that these scenes are just slightly different.
The true story drama chronicles the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer) and his mother’s (Michelle Williams) desperate attempt to convince his insanely wealthy grandfather (Christopher Plummer) to pay the ransom.In his mixed review, our own Matt Goldberg said the film “hints at interesting ideas but, for various reasons, can never completely cohere into something that leaves a lasting impact despite the timeliness and relevancy of the story.”
What’s interesting aboutAll the Money in the Worldis that we’re getting another variation on that same true story in a matter of weeks, as FX’s limited seriesTrust—directed byDanny Boyleand starringDonald Sutherlandin the Getty role—premieres next month. It’ll be interesting to compare and contrast the two.
For now, get a better look atAll the Money in the Worldin the new trailer below. The film is now playing in theaters everywhere.
Here’s the official synopsis forAll the Money in the World:
