Armie Hammer’s comeback movie Citizen Vigilante has been picked up for worldwide sales by Quiver Distribution, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The movie written and directed by Uwe Boll, the German filmmaker, will be handled by Quiver internationally, excluding U.K., German-speaking territories, South Korea and Taiwan. The indie distributor earlier picked up the North American rights to the action thriller and released the pic domestically from June 19.
The worldwide rights deal follows Citizen Vigilante effective ban in Germany, where it was denied a rating due to concerns that its violent content could incite violence against immigrants. That was followed by Elon Musk posting the movie with Hammer in his first leading man role since his career implosion to his X account for 48 hours, with director Boll also sharing the film.
Citizen Vigilante stars Hammer as Sanders, a vigilante who takes justice into his own hands. According to Apple TV, the official synopsis reads: “Living in Croatia, a wealthy American businessman transforms into a feared vigilante who targets violent criminals, rapists and corrupt judges. As his brutal campaign gains traction online and across the media, he soon becomes a wanted criminal and an unlikely public hero.”
