Four years after messages surfaced in which Armie Hammer, 39, allegedly claimed he is “100% a cannibal,” a trailer has been released for a new film starring the actor. Hammer, known for Call Me by Your Name and The Social Network, has since said the messages were “hilarious” and claimed the texts were “digitally altered” to remove other parts of a conversation between two people who were “egging each other on.” In 2021, Effie Angelova reported the actor to the LAPD, accusing Hammer of physical abuse and rape. An LA judge later dropped the case, citing insufficient evidence. Another woman, Courtney Vucekovich, detailed alleged disturbing interactions with Hammer in a 2022 docuseries, House of Hammer. The actor has since described the allegations as a “career death,” and has lost multiple high-profile roles. Hammer’s first film since the allegations surfaced, Frontier Crucible, is an American Western about a former soldier with a tragic past who becomes entangled with three outlaws, a woman, and her injured husband. The film is set for release on Dec. 5, 2025.
