“All the Money in the World” Christopher Plummer Interview with Ridley Scott And Trailers

Directed by Ridley Scott, All the Money in the World follows the kidnapping of 16-year-old John Paul Getty III, played by Charlie Plummer, and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother Gail, played by Michelle Williams to convince his billionaire grandfather, played by Kevin Spacey, to pay the ransom.

Getty Sr. refuses, and Gail attempts to sway him as her son’s captors become increasingly volatile and brutal. With her son’s life in the balance, Gail and Getty’s advisor, played by Mark Wahlberg, become unlikely allies in the race against time that ultimately reveals the true and lasting value of love over money.

Watching the movie’s trailer, the acting is superb and the story will drive the movie. I didn’t even recognize Spacey, which is awesome. It looks like he is truly playing a different role than is usual tough guy image.  Michelle Williams as the distraught mother is brilliant. I am sensing Mark Walberg is in a career-defining role.

Oscar nomination for Christopher Plummer with Ridley Scott.

The story is straight from the headlines and based on a true story. All the Money in the World looks like a winner.
