We saw him as the Winkelvoss twins in David Fincher’s ‘The Social Network’, and in Clint Eastwood‘s ‘J. Edgar’ but Armie Hammer’s star is rising even further now that he has snapped up a part in ‘By Virtue Fall’ with Eric Bana. The film is the directorial debut of Oscar-nominated ‘Up In The Air’ co-writer Sheldon Turner.
According to Deadline: “Hammer will play an ATF agent framed on a corruption beef and sent to a maximum security federal prison. He turns into a badass to survive, and when he emerges from that hellhole, he devotes himself to getting revenge on the person who destroyed his life: his former partner (Eric Bana).”
Hammer is currently busy playing the title role opposite Johnny Depp in Disney’s The Lone Ranger, and has completed filming for his appearance in Tarsem’s Mirror Mirror. Filming for ‘By Virtue Fall’ is expected to begin at the end of summer.
Hammer has already shown that he has a talent for comedy, so it will be interesting to see him take on something darker.
