Kevin Spacey's First Film Since Trial Has Set a Release Date, Unfortunately
The Big Picture Two weeks following the verdict of Kevin Spacey's UK sexual assault trial, in which the actor was cleared of all nine charges levied against him, he returns to headlines as a release date for his new film has been announced. The film, entitled Control, was written and directed Gene Fallaize, and stars Spacey in a major voice role.
Spacey does not appear physically in the film, but stars as an enigmatic figure known as simply The Voice, as he remotely takes control of the UK home secretary's car in an act of revenge for her public misdeeds. Joining her in the hijacked vehicle is the prime minister's daughter, as the car speeds into traffic, hitting a pedestrian.
Spacey recorded his part in the film in London last December while awaiting trail. Spacey was faced with claims of sexual and indecent assault. Following the not guilty verdict, Fallaize told Variety last month "the only people that know everything are the ones that were in that courtroom and they decided he was not guilty.
Spacey Has Maintained a Low Profile Spacey first faced allegations of sexual assault back in 2017 from Anthony Rapp, but was soon met with more from other individuals. Following the controversy, Spacey's career stalled as he was dropped from the hit Netflix show House of Cards, while he was replaced by Christopher Plummer in reshoots of Ridley Scott's All the Money in the World.
Control will be released in the US and the UK on December 15. You can watch the trailer for the film below:
