By Armie Hammer has landed the starring role in Uwe Boll’s new film “The Dark Knight”.
Hammer, who was once set to play Batman in George Miller’s scrapped “Justice League” film in the mid-2000s, is set to play a crime-fighting vigilante in the film which will shoot in Croatia on January 27th.
Hammer plays 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.
Boll says in a statement: “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.”
Executive producer Michael Roesch adds that despite the title, the film is “very different from Chris Nolan’s movie, so there is no danger of confusion”
Hammer saw his career come to a halt in 2021 following allegations of sexual misconduct but after a lengthy probe, the actor was never charged and he recently returned to work with the western “Frontier Crucible”.
