With a little over a month left until "All the Money in the World" hits cinemas on December 22, director Ridley Scott has decided to remove Kevin Spacey from the completed movie amid the sexual harassment reports swirling around Spacey, British media has reported.

The two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey will be replaced by Christopher Plummer in the upcoming movie about oil magnate John Paul Getty.

Re-shoots of the key scenes are expected to commence immediately. Scott is also determined to keep the film’s December 22 release date, The Guardian reported.

The decision to cut out the House of Cards star comes hard on the heels of a sexual harassment scandal involving producer Harvey Weinstein.
