Supporters of the Time’s Up[1] movement will not be happy to learn that the time is up for Kevin Spacey[2] to be stuck in the doghouse.
“Billionaire Boys Club” — starring Spacey and Ansel Elgort[3] — is finally set for release on July 19, 2 ½ years after filming wrapped. And Spacey is featured in the trailer.
Just as the producers were about to make a deal to distribute the movie last October, Spacey was accused of sexual assault[4] by “Rent” actor Anthony Rapp[5]. Then other men came forward.
The movie — based on the true story of a Los Angeles Ponzi-scheming ring in the 1980s — also features Emma Roberts[6], Suki Waterhouse[7], Billie Lourd[8] and, as Andy Warhol[9], Cary Elwes.
Spacey was cut from the film “All the Money in the World”[10] after his scandal, and fired[11] from “House of Cards[12].”
Richard DuPont — who plays a drug dealer in “Boys Club,” as does twin brother Robert — said it is time for Spacey to reappear on the big screen.
“People have such short memories,” DuPont told me. “And Spacey is almost unrecognizable in a beard and glasses.”
