On Sunday, news emerged that Kevin Spacey had landed his first movie role since multiple allegations of sexual misconduct caused his once-meteoric Hollywood career to come to a screeching halt in 2017.
As ABC News reported, Spacey had been cast in “L’uomo Che Disegno Dio” (translated to English as “The Man Who Drew God”), from Italian director Franco Nero,
That report also indicated that Nero’s wife, Vanessa Redgrave, would be co-starring with Spacey in the film.
