The film had been slated for a Dec. 22 release.
The release of an upcoming movie starring Kevin Spacey is now in flux amid the sexual misconduct scandal swirling around the actor.
“All the Money in the World — which was originally slated for a Dec. 22 premiere — could be given a new release date, as Sony is currently discussing its best plan of action regarding the movie given the circumstances, Variety reported.
The studio has also reportedly considered canceling the film’s premiere, which was set to take place next week at the American Film Institute.
If the film — which was directed by Ridley Scott — gets a new release date, it may not come until June 2018, according to the report. The premiere next week was originally tapped to take place on the closing night of the AFI Fest.

“All the Money in the World” stars Spacey, 58, as Jean Paul Getty, and revolves around the quest to find Getty’s grandson after he’s kidnapped. Scott has reportedly made it clear to the studio that he doesn’t believe his film should premiere at next week’s festival.
Allegations of sexual impropriety have poured in against Spacey in recent days after actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of attempting to seduce him three decades ago. Rapp would have been 14 at the time, while Spacey would have been 26.
Spacey has said he doesn’t remember the encounter, but said he owes Rapp an apology if his story is true.
Eight unnamed current and former employees who work on “House of Cards,” meanwhile, came forward to accuse Spacey of making the set “toxic” with his behavior, including one accuser claiming Spacey put his hands down his pants without consent.
