The prolific director’s next film, which is slated for an awards season release in December, is a dramatic thriller based on the infamous Getty kidnapping.
When Getty Sr. refuses, Gail attempts to sway him as her son’s captors become increasingly volatile and brutal.
Scott’s film isn’t the only upcoming project based on the Getty case, by the way; Danny Boyle and Simon Beaufoy are collaborating on Trust, a Getty kidnapping series for FX.
ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD follows the kidnapping of 16-year-old John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer) and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother Gail (Michelle Williams) to convince his billionaire grandfather (Kevin Spacey) to pay the ransom.
