Armie Hammer cast in psychological thriller 2:22

Armie Hammer (The Social Network) is set to star in a psychological thriller titled 2:22 at Lightstream Pictures. The film is being directed by Lightstream co-founder Paul Currie bassed on a script byTodd Stein and Nathan Parker. Timeless Films will be handling international sales for 2:22 beginning at Cannes. Filming is slated to begin this fall in Sydney, Australia. Lightstream's awrence Inglee is producing along with Bruce Davey of Icon Productions and Jackie O’Sullivan.

According to THR, the film is described as a “rollercoaster thriller that centers on Dylan (Hammer) an air traffic controller who is given a jolt when he narrowly escapes being responsible for a mid air collision between two passenger planes.  Caused by a mysterious blinding light that happened at 2:22, these strange occurrences continue and lead Dylan to meet Sarah, with whom he feels inexplicably linked. Together the two discover uncanny similarities with their current predicament and a double murder committed a generation ago. With a grim fate looming, Dylan must solve the mystery of 2:22 to preserve a love whose second chance has finally come.”

Hammer's dance card has gotten a lot fuller since starrring in The Social Network. He will be seen in J.Edgar and is starring in Tarsem Singh’s The Brothers Grimm: Snow White. He's also in talks to play the title character of The Lone Ranger, opposite Johnny Depp for Disney. I am interested to see him on the screen again and hope he finalizes a deal to star as the Lone Ranger.
