I would love to see this one but what does this mean? "The film is scheduled to be released through video on demand on July 17, 2018, before being released in a limited release on August 17, 2018, by Vertical Entertainment."

No theater? No disc?

My guess is that is a way around Kevin Spacey's recent ban by Hollywood by online companies intent on making money no matter what.

Spacey's hit show "House of Cards" was cancelled on October 30, 2017, following sexual misconduct allegations against him, I'm sure that was heavy blow to Netflix as it had been a money maker for six years.

Then he was cast to star in Ridley Scott’s "All The Money In The World" most of the film was shot and in the post editing tank when the allegations descended like a dark cloud on him, the studio scrapped all the footage featuring Spacey and pulled the promo material featuring him a month and half before the film was scheduled to hit theaters.

They then proceeded to spend a fair sum to re-shot all the Spacey scenes using Charlie Plummer as his replacement, basically making it as if Spacey was never in it, for fear of the bad publicity killing it at the box office.

I'm a little surprised to see him in this to be honest, I thought he was blacklisted... guess not, we know Hollywood has a short memory and that is certainly on display here for sure, but hey we know money trumps all in Tinseltown.

Film looks good though.
