Filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci Says Ridley Scott “Should Be Ashamed” Of Cutting Kevin Spacey Out Of Film

Bernardo Bertolucci is a filmmaker that is no stranger to controversy. Before the Weinstein allegations, and the current #MeToo movement, Bertolucci became the subject of much criticism because of an infamous scene in his film “Last Tango in Paris.” But now it seems like Bertolucci has inserted himself into the conversation yet again, with his take on the Kevin Spacey situation.

In a recent screening of ‘Last Tango,’ the director told the crowd that he was upset over the way that director Ridley Scott handled Kevin Spacey’s role in “All the Money in the World.” According to il Giornale (via Deadline), Bertolucci said, “When I learned that Ridley Scott had agreed to eliminate the scenes of ‘All the Money in the World’ in which Kevin Spacey was playing, I sent a message to editor Peter Scalia to tell Scott that he should be ashamed.”

For those that don’t know, Kevin Spacey had filmed the role of John Paul Getty in the Scott film, but after allegations came out about the actor, Scott decided to go into last-minute reshoots and replace all the Spacey scenes with actor Christopher Plummer. “All the Money in the World” would go on to get critical acclaim, with Plummer receiving an Oscar nomination for his work.

As mentioned above, Bertolucci has found himself at the center of sexual controversy before. Years ago, actress Maria Schneider came out with allegations that Bertolucci and actor Marlon Brando had “raped” her on the set of ‘Last Tango.’ The actress said that the director, along with Brando, never told her about the infamous butter scene, which wasn’t in the script. And after she was forced to take part in the scene, she had felt that both Brando and Bertolucci had violated her.

According to reports, Bertolucci went a step further with his defense of Spacey, saying that in the future, the director would be happy to work with the disgraced actor.

      • Ridley Scott is a Hollywood whore for years. That´s why his movies aren´t good anymore for years. God you´re a moron ! There´re no grammaticall issues there. It´s the exact same thing. And since that the best you can do is to come here and think you can correct me, you´re a sad little man. That indeed rationally makes little sense…No one can do it, let alone a troll. Got get some pussy asshole. Probably not even paying you can get one. Go fuck your mother instead, she might let you fuck her. You can correct this now motherfucker, i allow you.

        • No it is not.

          Your grammar sucks.

          More importantly you haven’t made a point other than state an opinion, which is fine, as you are entitled to one. Try defending your point of view.

          • Yes, it is.Shit man, you look like a pedophile !… I´m sorry, i didn´t know you´re his lawyer girlfriend. I understand you. With that face, not even paying too… But since you´re another retard or probably another frustrated little man (i can see this website is full of them). Let me explain the follow. I can write as i please. You or your boyfriend above are not going to teach me how to write English correctly. I can tell you both are some sort of grammar nazis that don´t have a life, so the best you can do is to come online and do what you did. I haven´t made a point by saying Ridley Scott is a Hollywood whore for years, but you both did by coming here just to correct my grammar. I suggest suicide. The world is full of shit people and you both are part of them. Now go on and jerk off to some gay porn. And don´t forget to delete your child pictures, the authorities might be monitorizing your computer. Fuck you very much.

      • The Martian a masterpiece ? Funny… I´m sorry to say, but you clearly don´t know what a masterpiece is. You´re as dead as Hollywood…Are you a millennial ? That´s the only explanation possible…

  1. I’m somewhat torn on this, although I hate the bullshit virtue signaling and pandering to the SJW’s, Plummer is the better actor by far and much more suited to the role. Shame he wasn’t just cast as J. Paul Getty from the start.

    • Well the thing is you’re an idiot. “Virtue signaling” is, like “political correctness” a made-up phrase scumbag white dudes use to explain away anyone not as awful as them as doing some elaborate performance art. Only you regressive morons like you get to have genuine opinions, anyone else is pretending.

      • LOL, You accuse me of dismissing others opinions while dismissing anything that doesn’t 100% line up with yours, and slip in a couple of ad hominem attacks just for fun while you are at it. If virtue signaling doesn’t exist, why are so many idiots going out of their way to do it (yourself included if your response above is anything to go by)? Also at no point did I say anybody who disagreed with me was an idiot and/or wrong (unlike you) I said that *I* didn’t like it.You SJW’s really are hilarious.

        • ” dismissing anything that doesn’t 100% line up with yours”

          weird how you people always think you can just spout bullshit into the air but the minute anyone responds to it your being “censored” “dismissed” “attacked” so fragile lmao

          “at no point did I say anybody who disagreed with me was an idiot”
          you literally were just like “well if virtue signaling doesn’t exist how does that explain you and anyone else who doesn’t agree with me”

          History is literally nothing but whining reactionaries like you and how everyone else has drag civilization kicking and screaming towards progress while you types piss and moan about “good old days” that never existed, all the while thinking your the first or somehow bold and rebellious for doing so

          • Your first ‘point’: So you think calling somebody an idiot, awful, and a moron isn’t attacking them?

            Your second ‘point’: As I pointed out, there was *NOTHING* in my op that made any reference to anybody disagreeing with me, in my second post I was specifically referring to a logical error that you made.

            Your third ‘point’: The first sentence is *PURE* projection on your part, it’s the SJW’s like yourself that are constantly whining. The second is just nonsense, at no point did I make any reference to the “good old days”

            General comments: You are either so wrapped up in your delusions of social justice, or a Poe trying to troll me (I’m inclined to think the latter), there seems little point to these continued replies. Anyway If you want to discuss the article these comments are under, please do and I will happily continue the discussion, on the other hand if you are just going to attempt to troll and throw out random ad hominem attacks I see no point continuing.

          • ” it’s the SJW’s like yourself that are constantly whining.”

            Every reactionary whining about “kidsnowadays” says this with zero self-awareness. The whole right wing ideology is nothing but obtuse entitled white male grievance politics. Can you do anything but whine and write like you spend too much time on reddit forums for “logical and rational” libertarian dorks with the personalities of busted robots trying to figure out why women won’t date them

            “You are either so wrapped up in your delusions of social justice, or a Poe trying to troll me”
            lmfao I said people you use phrases like “political correctness” and “virtue signaling” are just trying to explain away anyone not as awful as them as putting on some performance, because you are empathy deprived sociopaths literally incapable of realizing that there are other humans who just aren’t as okay with dehumanizing others.

            Your response is “no, but you also must be a troll and insincere”

            Every single argument with you one you people is this same shit, you just reword the same shit and doing everything you can to not actually respond to anything. It’s like you all come off an assembly line somewhere.
