Hamnner Checks His Watch

Armie Hammer will star in a thriller 2:22 says THR



The Social Network actor stars as  Dylan an air traffic controller who is given a jolt when he narrowly avoids 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. Dylan soon meets 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

Paul Currie ("One Perfect Day") will direct the movie, based on Todd Stein and Nathan Parker's original concept.

Currie said, "From the moment I first read the script, I realized that '2:22' was the kind of project that is extremely rare; a film that is highly cinematic, visceral and mysterious, providing audiences a thrill ride from the first to the very last scene."

Hammer just wrapped on Clint Eastwood's biopic  J. Edgar moving on to The Brothers Grimm: Snow White and is rumored for the title role in the Gore Verbinski-directed The Lone Ranger.

Lawrence Inglee ("The Messenger," "Rampart") and  Bruce Davey will be producing 2:22

Production takes place in Sydney this fall.
