40 CINEMONTAGE / Q1 2018 Tuesday, November 7, 2017 – The original film starring Spacey is locked and Scott is scheduled to review the final mix at Twickenham Studios in London. Scott phones Simpson to say that he is on his way to New York instead, but he does not say why. The film's premiere, which was scheduled for the closing night of the AFI Film Festival in LA on November 16, is cancelled. Wednesday, November 8, 2017 – In New York City, Scott secretly meets with Plummer, who agrees to play the role of J. Paul Getty. Scott returns to LA. Sony announces that Scott will re-shoot Spacey's scenes in the film and replace him with Plummer. Thursday, November 9, 2017 – Since the film was to have been completed by mid- November, numerous members of the post team had made other plans afterwards. But Simpson and Teresa Kelly, the post supervisor, wrangle the team back together and work out a schedule based on an unchanged delivery date for foreign and domestic distribution. Since the scenes that need to be re-shot are evenly distributed throughout the reels, no reel is locked. It is determined to treat each new scene as a separate entity, which would then be inserted into the appropriate reels. Overlaps will need to be finessed and music will have to be re-cut. There is no time to compose or score new music. Music editors Tony Lewis and Arabella Winter must re-shape many of the cues around the new rhythms and pace of the dialogue. Monday, November 13, 2017 – The production crew re-assembles and pre-production starts. Scott meets with all department heads of the production, including visual effects supervisors. Since visual effects is going to be the most time-challenged department, all green screen work is scheduled for the first day of production. Tuesday-Friday, November 14-17, 2017 – While the production prepares for the re-shoots, the post team locks the sound mix and the color correction on all the scenes which do not feature Spacey. (Friday the 17th was to have been the original end date for Simpson and the editorial team, following the planned premiere the evening before.) Monday, November 20, 2017 – Production begins with five days scheduled at Sutton House in London, posing as the Getty Estate. Upon completion of each scene, the camera data is couriered to the cutting room in London, where a digital lab is set up. By the afternoon, the morning's shoot is processed and ingested into the Avid. By the evening, the dailies are ready to view after the day's wrap, and are then cut the next morning. As each scene is done, it is sent to the sound department for Foley and dialogue cleanup. There is no time for ADR, so the on-set recordings must be perfect. Saturday, November 25, 2017 – Production moves to Rome, Italy. The cutting room remains in London. Sunday-Wednesday November 26-29, 2017 – Dailies from the Rome re-shoot are sent through a dedicated FTP server and the edited material is sent back to Scott in Rome for review and notes. Production wraps on the 29th. A re-cut trailer featuring Plummer in place of Spacey is released the same day. Thursday, November 30, 2017 – Scott returns to London and screens the completed cut on his 80th birthday. Sunday, December 3, 2017 – A digital cinema package (DCP) is made for the Foreign Press Association in order to be considered for Golden Globe Awards consideration. (The nominations, which would be announced December 11, include three for All the Money in the World: Scott for Best Director, Michelle Michelle Williams and Mark Wahlberg in a scene — that did not have to be re-shot — from All the Money in the World.
