Armie Hammer's Comeback Film 'Citizen Vigilante' to Debut Promo Reel at Cannes

The vigilante thriller, directed by Uwe Boll, recently underwent a title change and marks Hammer's first lead role since his Hollywood hiatus.

  • The film, originally titled 'The Dark Knight,' was renamed 'Citizen Vigilante' after a request from Warner Bros. and feedback from fans to avoid confusion with the Batman franchise.
  • Armie Hammer stars as Sanders, a vigilante whose actions turn him into a social media sensation and polarizing public figure.
  • Shot in Zagreb, Croatia, the film uses the city as a backdrop for its universal story of justice and public perception.
  • The production is currently in post-production, with editing underway and a promo reel set to be presented at the 2025 Cannes Film Market.
  • 'Citizen Vigilante' represents a key moment in Hammer's career revival following a hiatus after sexual misconduct allegations in 2021, for which no charges were filed.
