Set in 1973, the film features real-life figure J. Paul Getty, the world\u2019s richest private citizen \u2014 despite which, when his grandson is kidnapped, he refuses to pay the ransom. Director Ridley Scott shot the entire film with Kevin Spacey playing the oil baron. Just months before the movie was due out, a new crop of sexual abuse allegations came out against Spacey, and Scott recast Plummer as Getty and reshot every scene that once featured Spacey. The captivating thriller is highlighted by Plummer\u2019s signature balance of sympathy and ruthlessness.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CKnives_Out%E2%80%9D_2019\"><\/span>\u201cKnives Out\u201d (2019)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Christopher Plummer with the cast of &quot;Knives Out.&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-17247907 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/christopher-plummer-46.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/christopher-plummer-46.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/christopher-plummer-46.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/christopher-plummer-46.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/christopher-plummer-46.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Christopher Plummer (seated at center) in \u201cKnives Out\u201d<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">\u00a9Lions Gate\/Courtesy Everett Co<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Plummer graced the screen with one more classic role in his most recent hit.
