Hammer’s only statement on the matter came when he departed “Shotgun Wedding,” calling the claims against him “bullshit.” Before the agency cut ties with the actor, he had been fired from two high-profile projects: the romantic comedy “Shotgun Wedding,” in which he was originally cast opposite Jennifer Lopez, and Paramount’s “The Offer,” a series about the making of “The Godfather.” Prior to the rape allegation and LAPD investigation, Hammer was dropped by WME, in the midst of allegations spreading like wildfire across social media. Hammer, via his attorney, denied the rape allegation, calling the claim “outrageous.” The actor has maintained that any interaction with any sexual partner has been consensual. The sexual assault investigation is currently active with Hammer as the lead suspect. Since then, a former partner of Hammer’s has come forward with a rape allegation from 2017, which led to a probe by the LAPD. Hammer’s career has been in freefall ever since accusations by multiple women began to surface on social media earlier this year. (Director Luca Guadagnino was not available for comment, as he is currently in pre-production on another film.) While the actors and filmmaker have discussed their desire for a sequel in many media interviews, the film had never been given the greenlight - and now, with the Hammer controversy, any plans are even more up in the air. ![]() The only outstanding movie on Hammer’s radar would have been the potential “Call Me By Your Name” sequel, which has garnered much hopeful excitement from fans, but was never actually put into active development and remains without a script.
