Kevin Spacey Sets His Voice On the Stage of an Indie Thriller
Kevin Spacey, the former Oscar‑winners now behind a string of controversies, will lend his vocal presence to the indie thriller Control. Though the actor’s schedule gets split between sets and a looming UK court appearance next summer, his role on screen is minimal but menacing: a voice‑only antagonist who pulls the strings of vengeance.
The Plot Who’s Steering the Wheel
- Protagonist: British Home Secretary Lauren Metcalfe – a woman with a secret affair with Prime Minister Mark Hampton.
- Antagonist: The mysterious implied “Spacey” character who knows the affair and wants it bad.
- Spacey’s plan? Remote hijack the president’s fully autonomous car, turning it into a deadly weapon that tears through London’s streets.
The movie is the brainchild of writer‑director Gene Fallaize and is slated for release in early 2023. Production is underway at Camberwell Studios and on location across London, with producers Adam Southwick and Emily Hasseldine spearheading the project under the banners of Cupsogue Pictures and CineNorth Studios.
Legal Weather – More Charges in the Crossover Season
Earlier this month, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) dropped four new charges on the disgraced actor. The allegations, said to be sexual assaults carried out between 2001 and 2004, add to the known six offences already on the docket.
Rosemary Ainslie, Head of CPS Special Crime Division, remarked: “The CPS has authorised additional criminal charges against Kevin Spacey for a series of alleged sexual assaults, and one charge of causing someone to engage in sexual activity without consent. This follows a thorough review of evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police.”
Spacey is officially 63 and will appear in court next summer, the latest test‑drive in a career that’s been wound into a complicated pit‑stop of legal and professional obstacles.
What’s Next?
- Production continues through early 2023.
- Spacey’s vocal cameo slated for the film’s release.
- Court proceedings set for next summer – a potentially dramatic twist in the actor’s public narrative.
As the story on the film set climbs forward, its dark twist remains tied to real‑world drama, making Control a story that keeps audiences both on the edge of their seats and off the screen.
