"I've always been a fan of Ridley and wanted to work with him. I thought, "My God, here's an incredible chance." We talked for a few minutes. He obviously has an extraordinary sense of humour, and that endeared him to me immediately. I told him, "Listen, I have to go home and read the script," which I did. I kind of knew I was going to do it even if I hated the script. I had a feeling. It was almost insane, so I thought. "Great, let's try it!"
Then I forgot about Florida and lying out in the sun and all that." Plummer says They reshot all his scenes in 9 days. Not just that, Plummer even declined to see the footage with Spacey in the role. "It doesn't do an actor any good to watch someone else. When you take over a part in the theater, it's better that you don't go and see it first so you're not influenced in any way, the role comes from you. I saw some of the kidnapping stuff, which I thought was very well done, but that's all I saw. Bits and pieces that didn't involve J. Paul Getty at all. I hadn't seen the trailer [with Spacey] either." Plummer commented.
