<P> Beginning in late October, numerous sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations were made against Spacey, who played J. Paul Getty in the film . The film's premiere at the AFI Fest on November 16 was cancelled, and its Academy Awards campaign--which focused on Spacey's supporting role--was reworked . </P> <P> On November 8, it was announced that although the film was otherwise ready for release, reshoots had been commissioned to replace Spacey with Christopher Plummer in the role of Getty . Despite his earlier statements to the contrary, Scott claimed that Plummer had been his original choice for the role, and that studio executives had persuaded him to cast the "bigger name" Spacey . Spacey still appears in one wide shot that would have been too expensive or complex to reshoot within the release deadline; the scene features Getty disembarking off a train in the desert and Spacey's face is not visible . </P> <P> Reshoots with Plummer began on November 20 and ended on the 29th, with the first footage of him in the role released in a new trailer the same day . The decision cost millions of dollars in rush fees, among other costs, to meet the film's late - December release . The reshoots ended up costing $10 million, making the final production cost of the film $50 million . </P> <P> While it was initially reported that the actors filmed the reshoots for free, it was later revealed that Wahlberg was paid $1.5 million while Williams only received $800 in per diems, as she was contractually obligated to appear in reshoots, while Wahlberg was not . Wahlberg's fee for the original shooting is alleged by The Hollywood Reporter to have been $5 million, while Michelle Williams is reported to have been paid $625,000 . The New York Times has reported that Wahlberg was paid 80% less than his usual fee . The $1.5 million Wahlberg received for reshoots was in addition to this . Wahlberg's contract allowed him to approve co-stars, and he reportedly refused to approve Plummer as Spacey's replacement unless he was paid extra . In response to the backlash brought on by the difference in the actors' pay, Wahlberg announced he would donate the $1.5 million to the Time's Up movement in Williams' name . </P>
