Dan Stevens will be in front of the camera for the shot Armie Hammer in the Watergate series “Gaslit”.
After Armie Hammer (34, “Call Me By Your Name”) gradually lost all of his projects due to the numerous allegations of abuse against him, the vacant positions are now being filled one by one. So also his role in the series “Gaslit”, which deals with the world-famous Watergate scandal. The British actor Dan Stevens (38, “Beauty and the Beast”) takes on Hammers role. That reports the US industry portal “Deadline”.
Stevens will be in front of the camera alongside Julia Roberts (53, “Pretty Woman”), Sean Penn (60, “Into the Wild”) and Joel Edgerton (46, “Bright”). Sam Esmail (43), who among other things created the series “Mr. Robot”, will also act as executive producer of the new project, which is based on the podcast “Slow Burn”. Roberts and Penn will act as real married couple Martha (1918-1976) and John Mitchell (1913-1988). He, a loyal supporter of Republican President Richard Nixon. You, the first person ever to publicly address Nixon’s involvement in the Watergate scandal.
Armie Hammer is under increasing pressure
Allegations against Hammer had surfaced on social media earlier this year. In mid-March, a former partner accused him at a press conference of raping her for several hours in 2017. Hammer strongly rejects the allegations so far. The LA police are under investigation.
