Kevin Spacey recently found himself in a courtroom trying to prove his innocence on the countless sexual allegations hurled at the actor. Starting in 2017 and continuing ever higher, there were more than fifteen people who had blamed the actor for sexual misconduct.
Well, proving himself not guilty of all the charges, Kevin Spacey wanted to get back into his career. With his role in the upcoming film titled Control, the actor’s movie was removed from the Prince Charles Cinema due to the controversial court case.
Kevin Spacey’s Movie Was Rejected For Premiere In The U.K.!
The Prince Charles Cinema was in agreement with the producer of the film Control, Lauren Metcalfe for the screening of his film at their cinema. With Kevin Spacey recently appearing on trial and getting acquitted on all charges, the Prince Charles Cinema had to reconsider the contract.
Kevin Spacey does have a role in the movie which is a voice role through phone calls in the film. Control will mark Spacey’s first project after he is acquitted on all charges and this will be his comeback movie in Hollywood. Greg Lynn, who runs the Prince Charles Cinema reportedly wrote an email to Lauren Metcalfe and stated that they cannot go ahead with the premiere of the movie.
“We have an issue. It is with my apologies that I have to inform you that we have cancelled your hire with us. Last night it came to our attention that your film features Kevin Spacey, in particular his first film since the court case. My staff as well as I are horrified that we are being mentioned in the same breath as his new film for the premiere.”
In response to this cancelation, Kevin Spacey’s attorney Chase Scolnick released a statement (via Variety) condemning the action and reminding that Spacey had been acquitted on all charges.
“Mr Spacey has proven his innocence in every courtroom in which he has appeared. Every juror who has considered the evidence against him has unanimously rejected the false allegations.”
The allegations started back in 2017 and the alleged events went as far back as 2001. With several controversies and creepy stories to his name, there were several charges levied against him but Spacey denied them all.
Kevin Spacey Was Acquitted On All Charges
Back in 2017, actor Anthony Rapp alleged that the House of Cards actor made a sexual advance toward him while he was intoxicated. The actor further revealed that Anthony Rapp was 14 and Kevin Spacey was 26 and that created a chain of events and accusations for the actor.
Finding himself in controversies and several charges of sexual misconduct, the actor went through trials and tribulations until July 2023 when he was acquitted on all charges. Pleading not guilty to all the charges, Spacey was finally relieved when he was declared innocent. Spacey’s upcoming 2023 film Control is slated for a release date of 15th December 2023.
