Return to the Big Screen! Kevin Spacey, Star of "House of Cards," to Premiere New Film Next Spring
2023-11-18
After six years, powerhouse actor Kevin Spacey makes a triumphant return to the silver screen in "1 Peter 5:8," an independently produced, low-budget thriller. Spacey portrays a charming and mysterious assassin, showcasing his expertise in such roles.
While the distribution company acknowledges potential resistance from fans due to Spacey's past involvement in sexual misconduct allegations and legal disputes, his exoneration warrants a second chance for his career: "He faced trial for these accusations, ultimately acquitted. Everyone should give him a break," says Thomas Ashley, CEO of Invincible Entertainment. "He paid a heavy price for these allegations—losing contracts and tarnishing his reputation. Now he has the right to come back to the industry."
Since 2017, thirty individuals accused Kevin Spacey of misconduct, leading to a swift downfall in his career. Netflix removed him from the cast of "House of Cards," and Ridley Scott's "All the Money in the World" erased his name, leaving him with no significant achievements.
Filming for "1 Peter 5:8" took place at the end of 2021, concluding in early 2022. However, due to legal issues, the distribution company remained cautious until Spacey's triumph in a UK court in October 2022. Invincible Entertainment is now confident enough to unveil this hidden gem, scheduling a limited release on March 22 next year.
Notably, the film's director and screenwriter, Michael Zaiko Hall, previously directed only three feature films. His background lies in visual effects, and he once worked as a visual effects artist on the game "Wood Satellite Four Protocols."
