10 Biggest Movie Controversies Of 2021
10. Kevin Spacey Stars In "The Man Who Drew God"
Kevin Spacey is persona-non-grata in Hollywood these days. His rather sordid, nasty past was the big film scandal of 2017, and as a result he was exorcised from projects like House of Cards and All the Money in the World.
With his career well and truly in the toilet, Spacey decided to start a new profession as a YouTube influencer. He created several vaguely threatening, overtly creepy videos as his character Frank Underwood, talking about how he was definitely innocent and people were just being really, really mean to him. Raid: Shadow Legends has yet to sponsor him.
Following a series of meandering court cases, in which three of his accusers died (no, seriously, they died), Spacey's time in Hollywood seemed like it had come to a permanent end.
That is until director Franco Nero decided to cast Spacey in his upcoming film "The Man Who Drew God" in May of this year. Co-star Vanessa Redgrave immediately dropped out of the project, but director Nero seemed unfazed, stating "We have plenty of interest from buyers around the world. All the controversy around the film has generated plenty of interest... It was good for the film, from my point of view." Charming guy.
