Shameful to recast Kevin Spacey!
I don't care about his scandals, you don't reshoot an entire movie when its finished.
Hopefully the DVD release will have Spacey's performance.
Shameful!
Well you may not care but there are plenty of other people that would so that put them kind of in a no-win situation. Spacey was receiving such negative press that the movie would've likely been DOA had they left him in there. So it was either that or spend the millions on the rush job of having all his scenes reshot. They chose the latter.
I saw this over the weekend and didn't know at the time that Spacey's scenes had been reshot with Christopher Plummer. They pulled it off pretty seamlessly and considering how quickly they did all of that it was remarkable how good the film came out (I didn't love this movie but I thought Christopher Plummer was really good in the role).
It's just not art. You don't paint over a painting once its finished.
shareWell I suppose if you're the artist you can do whatever you want with it...whether you've made it better or worse will be subjective. I've only seen one small clip of Spacey in the role but can't say I was impressed with the make-up job so to me at least, it's possible that the film may have benefitted from the change. Either way my two cents would be that the film was good but not so much that it's worth getting mad about. Will probably be largely forgotten in a year.

There are plenty of examples of paintings being painted over. Even some of the classics have other paintings hidden underneath.
