\nTriStar Pictures has pulled Kevin Spacey\u2019s \u201cAll the Money in the World\u201d from its closing-night slot at the AFI Fest in light of sexual allegations against the actor.
The production company will keep the movie\u2019s theatrical release date of Dec. 22.
\u201c\u2018All the Money in the World\u2019 is a superb film and more than worthy of its place of honor in the AFI Fest. But given the current allegations surrounding one of its actors and out of respect for those impacted, it would be inappropriate to celebrate at a gala at this difficult time. Accordingly, the film will be withdrawn,\u201d TriStar said in a statement.
\u201cHowever, a film is not the work of one person,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cThere are over 800 other actors, writers, artists, craftspeople and crew who worked tirelessly and ethically on this film, some for years, including one of cinema\u2019s master directors. It would be a gross injustice to punish all of them for the wrongdoings of one supporting actor in the film. Accordingly, the film will open wide as planned on December 22.\u201d

In a statement, AFI said, \u201cAFI FEST celebrates film as a collaborative art form. We support Sony\u2019s decision to postpone the premiere in order to ensure the thousands of people who worked together on this film are honored at a proper time and in a proper light.\u201d
\u201cAll the Money in the World\u201d also stars Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Williams and Timothy Hutton. It was directed by Ridley Scott and tells the story of the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III when he was 16 years old.
Last week, \u201cStar Trek: Discovery\u201d star Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of making sexual advances on him when he was 14 years old. Since then, more than a dozen men subsequently came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct by the Oscar winner.
On Friday, Netflix officially cut ties with Spacey after CNN reported eight people who work or have worked on \u201cHouse of Cards\u201d said Spacey had created a \u201ctoxic\u201d work environment through a pattern of sexual harassment.
In addition, Spacey was dropped by his publicist and his agent, CAA. On Thursday, Spacey\u2019s publicist released a statement that the star was seeking unspecified \u201cevaluation and treatment.\u201d
