Kevin Spacey and Mark Wahlberg to star in Ridley Scott's thriller
Ridley Scott's promising directorial project, which will focus on the infamous kidnapping of billionaire Jean Paul Getty's grandson, has begun to grow into an impressive cast. Kevin Spacey, Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams may play key roles, according to Deadline. Recall that the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III took place in 1973. The criminals demanded $ 17 million in ransom, but Jean Paul Getty, one of the richest men of his time, refused to allocate the required amount. Later, when the criminals sent the severed ear of the kidnapped to the relatives, he nevertheless agreed to give several million dollars to his relatives, but on loan. The mediator in these negotiations was the mother of John Paul Getty II, Gail Harris. If contracts with the actors are signed, then Spacey will play the billionaire himself, Williams - the role of Harris. Wahlberg's character has not yet been specified, but, most likely, we are talking about the organizer of the kidnapping. Ridley Scott plans to start movieing as early as May 2017, when all promotional events timed to coincide with the premiere of the science fiction movie Alien: Covenant are completed. The movie will be shot by Imperative Entertainment and distributed by Sony Pictures. The Topic of Article: Kevin Spacey and Mark Wahlberg to star in Ridley Scott's thriller. |
