Moreover, he also will only practice so if Gail signs a legal document waiving her parental admission rights to Paul and her other children, giving them to Getty's son, her ex-husband.

On March 13, 2017, it was reported that Ridley Scott was finalizing plans to direct the David Scarpa-scripted All the Money in the World, a moving-picture show nigh the kidnapping of John Paul Getty Iii. Scott stated that he was attracted to the projection considering of Scarpa's script, adding "I merely consumed it [...] I knew about the kidnapping, but this story was very, very provocative... Gail Getty was an exceptional grapheme, and there are many facets of the homo Getty that make him a really great report. There's this bully dynamic. It was similar a play, and not a motion-picture show."[ix]
Natalie Portman was pursued for the role of Gail Harris.[x] On March 31, 2017, it was reported that Michelle Williams and Kevin Spacey were circling the roles of Harris and J. Paul Getty, respectively, while Mark Wahlberg was in talks for an unspecified role.[11] On casting Spacey, Scott stated, "When I read the script, I started thinking, 'Who was Paul Getty?' In my mind, I saw Kevin Spacey. Kevin's a brilliant histrion, but I've never worked with him, and I always knew I would have to have him portray Getty in this film [...] He was and so obsessed with what he was doing [...] He wasn't giving people a second thought." In regard to Williams, Scott stated that, while she was non his commencement choice, "Michelle is very special as an extra, and I've never done anything with her earlier [...] The family unit was very private and there was very petty footage of [Gail], merely effectually the kidnapping, there was one item interview she did that Michelle jumped at, and it shows Gail Getty being very assertive, very smart," both qualities Williams possessed.[9] On May 2, Charlie Plummer joined the cast as John Paul Getty III.[12] Timothy Hutton was added to the cast on June 16.[13]
