Armie Hammer's career continues to collapse
The left-wing actor who comes from the lineage of Armand Hammer, the communist doctor of the early 20th century, is continuing to lose whatever jobs he had left following the news of the LAPD's investigation into sex offense accusations against Hammer (Hat tip: Breitbart):
Update: here's some more on Variety about the lengthy delays the film's suffered from, and despite having such a repellent man like Hammer in the cast, where his role is considerably prominent, they may not be reshooting any of the scenes where he appears. In that case, they sure have quite an expensive dud on their hands.
Armie Hammer has been dropped from Amma Asante's Cold War thriller The Billion Dollar Spy for Walden Media, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.I discovered Hammer wrote attacks on law enforcement in the past year, declaring them "inherently racist", following the BLM riots. One more reason why he decidedly deserves no sympathy for losing his acting career. Assuming the new adaptation of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile, where he's got a prominent role, will be released at all, it'll probably be without fanfare or press screenings. No matter. The 1978 adaptation was good enough, and we could do without more, or at least, more produced by pretentious actors and industrialists who could end up putting bad politics into the script, however subtle. Which, come to think of it, would be just the problem at this point.
Based on a real-life story, The Billion Dollar Spy was to have Hammer star as Brad Reid, a fresh arrival at the Moscow station of the CIA, where he’s approached by Soviet engineer Adolf Tolkachev, played by Mads Mikkelsen.
But that was before Hammer's career went into freefall amid controversy over graphic messages he allegedly sent several women over social media. Then, on March 18, a woman called Effie accused Hammer of rape in a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred. The LAPD confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the actor is a suspect in a sexual assault case that was opened Feb 3.
