A London cinema rescinded its offer to host the premiere of actor Kevin Spacey's first film since he was acquitted of sexual assault charges this summer.
Upon learning of Spacey's involvement in the Welsh thriller "Control," the Prince Charles Cinema withdrew its offer to host the film, according to the Daily Mail.
In an email cited by the Daily Mail, the cinema boss Greg Lynn told Metcalfe: "We have an issue. It is with my apologies that I have to inform you that we have canceled your hire with us. Metcalfe spoke about the ordeal to the Sunday Telegraph, saying that Spacey, 64, has been "proven to be innocent and who are they to say otherwise? Kevin Spacey has done nothing wrong."
"The #controlmovie World Premiere will now take place at the larger Genesis Cinema on Nov 14 due to a number of reasons including an overwhelming demand for tickets, so thank you to everyone for your support, and now we can get more of you in!" he wrote in an Instagram post, according to the Daily Mail.
