Kevin Spacey marked his return to Hollywood with a spicy take on the role of a hired killer.
The 64-year-old American Beauty actor, who in July 2023 was acquitted of sexually assaulting four men, has been cast as a killer in the thriller Peter Five Eight, with the film’s trailer showing his character disposes of a corpse, holds a terrified woman at knifepoint, and calls himself a “fallen soul.”
The trailer also shows the killer, played by Kevin, spending the night with a woman named Brenda, played by Rebecca de Morny, 64, and shooting a man in broad daylight.
The tagline of the film, written and directed by Michael Zaiko Hall, reads: “In this town, nothing is as it seems.”
Spacey was acquitted of the alleged sexual assaults on July 26 last year when a jury at the Crown Court in Southwark, London found the actor not guilty of all charges.
On the steps of the court after the sentencing, the Usual Suspects actor said: “I think many of you can understand that I am finding it very difficult to deal with what has just happened today. But I would like to say that I am extremely grateful to the jury for taking the time to carefully examine all the evidence and all the facts before reaching their decision. I am humbled by today’s result.”
