Why Armie Hammer Cried Making New Uwe Boll Movie After Public Cancellation & Doxing

Armie Hammer got emotional while making his comeback in movies after five years. The Call Me by Your Name and Death on the Nile star will feature in Uwe Boll‘s upcoming project.

Why did Armie Hammer cry when making Uwe Boll’s new movie?

Back in 2021, Armie Hammer was canceled online and by Hollywood for sharing weird cannibalism texts and sexual assault allegations. For the past few years, he has expressed a desire to return to acting, which he considers his first love. He spoke candidly about those feelings during a recent interview.

Hammer will be seen in Citizen Vigilante, the upcoming new movie from Uwe Boll. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter while promoting the film, the actor revealed that he literally cried when he got this offer, especially at a time when he desperately needed one.

“I’m pretty sure I cried,” said Hammer. “It was just this moment where I was like: I’m going to get to do the thing that I love more than anything — other than my children.” He added, “I would have done a f*****g cat food commercial. I just wanted to work again.”

Speaking of his comeback movie, its trailer and poster were revealed last month by Quiver Distribution. In addition to the Golden Globe nominee, the film also includes Costas Mandylor, Lennart Betzgen, Neb Chupin, and Dora Dimić Rakar, among others.

As for the story, it will see Hammer playing Sanders, a rich businessman from Zagreb, who’s got a massive, inherited real estate empire. Later, the character transforms into a fearless vigilante and goes after violent criminals, rapists, and corrupt judges who initially escaped punishment for their crimes.

Interestingly, the original title of this movie was The Dark Knight. However, it was later changed after Warner Bros. issued a cease and desist order over the name.

Citizen Vigilante will be released on digital platforms and streaming services on June 19, 2026.
