10 Movies That Changed Hugely From The Trailers

7. All The Money In The World

All the Money in the World is a rare case where a movie drifted from its original trailers not because the movie wasn't working or the studio actively wanted to mislead audiences, but because of an unfortunate real-life issue.

Ridley Scott's biographical crime thriller was originally shot from May through to August of 2017, yet disaster struck when numerous sexual assault allegations were levelled against star Kevin Spacey that October.

Scott, adamant that the controversy shouldn't damage the film itself, quickly opted to re-cast Spacey's role through re-shoots, hiring Christopher Plummer - who was his original choice - to play curmudgeonly miser J. Paul Getty.

Merely five weeks before the film hit cinemas, Scott undertook 10 days of re-shoots to replace Spacey with Plummer, rendering the Spacey-heavy prior trailers null and void.

The very day that the additional photography was completed, a new trailer featuring Plummer was released, though the focus was largely shifted away from his character due to the film's frantic post-production race to the finish line.

As it turned out, the movie was well-received by critics and audiences, even if it ultimately tanked at the box office. Still, in perhaps the ultimate vindication for Scott's bravura decision, Plummer ended up nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar.

Given that Spacey's old man makeup looked more distracting than convincing, it was most certainly the right call to cast an actual old man in his place.
