"Last Tango in Paris" director Bernardo Bertolucci has criticised fellow filmmaker Ridley Scott for firing Kevin Spacey from "All the Money in the World" after the actor was accused of sexual assault by over a dozen men.

Scott decided to replace Spacey with Christopher Plummer, who went on to portray J Paul Getty in the film about the infamous 1973 kidnapping of his grandson, 16-year-old John Paul Getty III.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bertolucci said when he came to know that Scott had agreed to erase all of Spacey's scenes in the film, he messaged the director's frequent editor Pietro Scalia, "to tell Scott that he should be ashamed."
