"London Theater Pulls Plug on Kevin Spacey's Film Premiere"

A London movie theater, Prince Charles Cinema, has canceled the premiere of Kevin Spacey's new film, Control, due to the actor's involvement and his recent sexual misconduct trial. The theater expressed horror at being associated with Spacey's film and notified the producers of the cancellation. Although Spacey does not appear on screen in the film, he has a significant voice-only role. The world premiere of Control will now take place at a different cinema. Spacey was found not guilty of sexual assault charges in a London trial earlier this year.
