Kevin Spacey Documentary Lands at Max, ID for U.S. Release

The Channel 4 doc, titled 'Spacey Unmasked,' will feature interviews with several men about their experiences with the actor.

Max and ID have acquired U.S. rights to a Channel 4 documentary about Kevin Spacey.

The two-part doc, titled Spacey Unmasked, is billed as a “forensic look” at Spacey’s career and the allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct against him. Spacey was acquitted in July 2023 of nine charges in a U.K. criminal case against him.

The documentary will also include interviews with “multiple men unconnected to that case about their experiences with Kevin Spacey, almost all of whom have never spoken before,” along with other previously unseen archival footage and interviews with the actor.

Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner, faced nine criminal charges from four different men in his U.K. trial, ranging from unwanted touching to, according to testimony from one man, performing oral sex on the man while he was asleep. The charges stemmed from alleged acts that occurred from 2001 to 2013; Spacey was artistic director of London’s Old Vic Theatre from 2004-15.

Spacey Unmasked is set to air on Channel 4 in the U.K. on May 6 and 7. Premiere dates for the U.S. and other territories haven’t been announced yet. All3Media International is handling international sales of the documentary and struck a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery for rights to the United States (where it will stream on Max and air on ID’s cable channel) and several other countries.

Katherine Haywood directed and produced Spacey Unmasked. Dorothy Byrne and Mike Lerner are executive producers. Roast Beef Productions (Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer) produces in association with All3 Media International.

New allegations will be featured in docu-series.

“I felt like I was staring at a soulless monster,” Daniel, an actor, says of his alleged sexual assault by Kevin Spacey in a new Channel 4 documentary promising a “forensic look” at the Oscar winner’s rise to stardom and his alleged sexual misconduct.

Spacey Unmasked features 10 men, Daniel among them, to tell their stories of alleged abuse at the hands of Spacey. None of them were involved in the London trial that saw the actor acquitted of nine charges in July 2023, and all but one have never spoken out before. The charges stemmed from alleged acts that occurred from 2001 to 2013; Spacey was artistic director of London’s Old Vic Theatre from 2004 until 2015.

Oh my god I cringed so hard at this paragraph

[quote]Now, Spacey Unmasked — a two-part documentary from British broadcaster Channel 4 — is delving into his allegedly inappropriate and exploitative behavior, covering accusations that span five decades. The documentary is a crucial entry into the conversation around male victims of sexual misconduct — and highlights how men haven’t yet developed a vocabulary to describe or process these situations. “Men are not used to discussing this, talking about this, naming it, or giving it language,” says executive producer Mike Lerner. “One of our hopes is that after this series goes out, there will be more people realizing that they should and can speak out about what’s happened to them.”

Men have never used the terms dirty old man, predatory homosexual, groper, sex pest, rapist, bully, casting couch etc.

[quote]“Men are not used to discussing this..."

The sentence might usefully have included the word 'publicly', also, 'about famous double Oscar-winning actors.'

However, some men publicly discussed the predatory behaviour of (eventually jailed) Jonathan King, whose MO seemed not unlike Spacey's. Also, many men have in recent years painfully spoken out about how abuse at their schools ruined lives, and was ignored or covered up for decades. Public discussion about such predation is more open now.

Such a long pattern of abusive and predatory behavior and as the hot ex marine said, what happened to the guys who didn't fight him off or did respond to his advances in expectation of something that would benefit their career.

Are there are any well known Spacey "boys"? There was the security guard from House Of Cards who got a bigger role and I think went to Wimbledon with Spacey.

What's really chilling is the clip of Spacey talking about his important role as leader on the House of Cards set. If he sees anyone treating people disrespectfully he "will call them on it".

Mention of Wimbledon reminds me that Spacey for a while followed Andy Murray from tournament to tournament.

Interesting that the programme didn't mention Spacey's night cruising episode in a park near The Old Vic. After which the great actor performed in a press conference with a story no-one believed, but somehow kept the show on the road.

I just watched Part 1. It’s compelling.

Spacey brought the young marine to a theater in LA to see Saving Private Ryan and he jerked off next to the poor kid. And this was in the first 20 minutes of the film which depicted the gruesome carnage during the invasion of Normandy.

Spacey is/was one sick puppy.

Popbitch covered this story - he wasn’t cruising…..

In 2004, Kevin Spacey's ludicrous tale of tripping over his dog in the park in the middle of the night was given an airing live on the BBC's Today. Newspapers and TV all sniggered when covering it but, aside from a few inverted commas in their copy, his version of events (which was such obvious horseshit) went unchallenged. Long-time Popbitch readers will remember that we gave you the real story: Spacey picked up a star- struck waiter, took him for drinks (in the bar below our office, no less) pushed his luck a little too far and got a punch in the chops for his troubles. Yet no-one picked it up, affording Spacey another 13 years of blind eyes and turned heads.

[quote]Spacey's ludicrous tale of tripping over his dog in the park

Long ago now, but I thought there were additional details involving a young man in the park at night, and a mobile phone. The police were somehow involved, meaning Spacey's account needed to be at least somewhat coherent.

I do recall the end of a TV South Bank Show about Spacey at The Old Vic. The end credits rolled over a long tracking shot on a walkway in a South London park at night, as though the camera was cruising. I doubt many viewers were mystified by this reference.

I still wish Rupert Graves would come forward and tell his story of being groped by Spacey in his dressling room and Spacey stalking him. Does sitting in his car outside Graves’ home count as stalking? I think it does. Graves refused to do the Broadway transfer of The Iceman Cometh because of Spacey. Spacey was obsessed with him, most likely because of the role he’d played in the film Maurice. And Graves is married with children. To paraphrase someone quoting Spacey on last night’s broadcast “I love flipping straight guys.”

Dianne Dreyer was a highly respected script supervisor on major films. It seemed toward the end of Part 1 that she might actually be interviewed on camera but nope.

The main ick factor bit in tonight’s Part 2 was from a young British actor who greeted Spacey at the Savoy for the opening night party of Sweet Bird of Youth and Spacey responded by reaching down into the guy’s boxers to stick his finger in his crack.

I wonder if Spacey woukd oblige Travolta from time to time. Travolta apparently loves that sort of anal attention and has supposedly begged licensed masseurs from reputable agencies in LA to “go that extra mike.”
