In 2017, Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey’s career became far less prolific following sexual assault allegations made first by Star Trek: Discovery’s Anthony Rapp, with others following suit sharing their own accusations. In the years since, Spacey has been accused of sexually abusive acts by a growing number of people, but attempts to legally hold him accountable haven’t been so fruitful, with Rapp’s lawsuit trial jury favoring Spacey with its verdict in October 2022, saying the actor was not liable for the claims made against him. Now, as he’s set to be at the center of a new trial in the UK, the Se7en star’s newest film project has landed a distributor and a release in the U.S.
Kevin Spacey's latest trial start is currently set for June 28, and is expected to last around a month. Depending on how things pan out, he may be gearing up to celebrate the release of his newest movie, the comedic thriller Peter Five Eight, which was officially picked up for multi-country releasing by SPI International, according to THR. The goal is currently for the company to release the film in the U.S. in August, though currently without a specific date locked in. Whether or not that detail is tied to the actor’s impending trial is unknown.
