We all know Ridley Scott has been on a real tear of late, churning out film after film. But it felt like he'd only just started production on Getty kidnap drama All The Money In The World, and yet here's the first trailer for the movie.
The film chronicles the 1970s kidnapping case that involved Paul Getty (Charlie Plummer), grandson of the ultra-rich tycoon J. Paul Getty (Kevin Spacey). Swiped during a night out, he was kept chained in a cave for six months and a ransom demanding $17 million was delivered to the family.
Unfortunately for the younger Getty, his grandfather didn't think much of his father or his party lifestyle, and, initially believing the teenager might have staged the whole thing himself, at first refused to pay. He was also unmoved by the pleas of Paul's mother, as Gail Harris (Michelle Williams) had divorced his son and snubbed his money to raise her children alone, so she turns to an unlikely ally in Getty advisor Fletcher Chase (Mark Wahlberg). One of Paul's ears was posted to the family, and eventually a $2.9 million sum was stumped up. It affected Paul for the rest of his life and he died aged 54. Nine of the kidnappers were arrested, and two were sent to prison.
All The Money In The World will be out in the UK on 5 January.
