The crew behind Sir Ridley Scott's All the Money in the World have been speaking about the task of erasing Kevin Spacey from the film after news of the actor's alleged sexual misconduct broke last month.
The decision was made that the film would still go ahead despite its looming release, and that Christopher Plummer would take over in the role of J Paul Getty, but how was it done?
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Scott, along with cinematographer Dariusz Wolski, editor Claire Simpson and sound editor Oliver Tarney, revealed just how much was involved.
Explaining that the reshooting happened almost immediately, Scott said: "I jumped into it immediately, saying, 'I can fix this'.
"We're going to have to recast, make sure everyone was available and the locations were available so I could go back as soon as possible and pick up every shot that [Spacey] was in."
Reshoots of scenes with Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams were done where possible, with the team behind-the-scenes also combining new footage with shots from the original.
In one scene, Christopher Plummer is said to have been filmed in front of a green screen before the original scenic photography (without Spacey) was added.
"We were pressured with time, and the two gave very different performances, so it wasn't just a question of replacing [Spacey with Plummer]," editor Claire Simpson explained.
"The rhythm was very different, his emphasis on the dialogue was very different, and that impacted the other performances in the scene. So we decided to replace complete scenes."
All the Money in the World is now expected to premiere on 25 December.
