"Call Me By Your Name" and
"The Lone Ranger" star
Armie Hammer is mounting a comeback. After recently joining the western
"Frontier Crucible" starring
Thomas Jane and
William H. Macy, he has also scored a starring role in
Uwe Boll's new film
"The Dark Knight". Boll, the filmmaker responsible for films like
"House of the Dead",
"Alone in the Dark",
"In the Name of the King",
"BloodRayne" and
"Postal", will direct from his own original script.
Hammer will star as Sanders, a man who takes justice into his own hands as he sets out to hunt down criminals. While his crusade transforms him into a social media sensation and a hero in the eyes of the public, the local police chief sees him as a menace to society and aims to take him down.
Principal photography is set to begin in Croatia on January 27th.
Armie Hamer's career came to a halt in 2021 following allegations of sexual misconduct. Following a lengthy probe, Los Angeles prosecutors in 2023 declined to charge the actor with any crime. In a recent podcast interview, Hammer said that his acting career has picked up so much that he's started to turn jobs down:
"My dance card's getting pretty full. That first job that I turned down after four years of this shit, I mean, it was the best feeling I've ever had".
Boll had this to say about the project:
"The story of 'The Dark Knight' couldn't be a more current topic, and I'm excited to bring it to life with this excellent cast".
