Death on the Nile | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Armie Hammer has been dropped from projects left and right in recent weeks after a series of disturbing alleged DMs were released earlier this year.

This month, a woman came forward and alleged Armie raped her and held her against her will for hours.

So far, Armie was dropped from the upcoming movie Shotgun Wedding, the Paramount+ series The Offer, and the upcoming spy thriller Billion Dollar Spy.

Now, all eyes are on Disney and their upcoming film Death on the Nile. This is one of two movies Armie actually completed before the pandemic that is ready to be released. Death on the Nile, the sequel to Murder on the Orient Express, was recently postponed from a 2021 release date to Valentines Day weekend, 2022.

Many are wondering how Disney will proceed in light of the allegations against him.

His role is “significant to the point of being the film’s male lead,” Variety reports. “The studio is not currently considering a reshoot or recasting his role.” It’s unclear if they will still release the film as planned.

Variety also mused that Armie is likely contractually obligated to promote the film, but likely would not be asked to do so in light of the allegations against him.

Disney has removed two upcoming 20th Century Studios movies from the December 2020 release calendar.

Ryan Reynolds‘ video game comedy Free Guy and the murder mystery Death on the Nile were both scheduled to be released in December, but now their release dates are unknown, according to THR.

Free Guy was set to hit theaters on December 11 while Death on the Nile was dated for December 18.

Two movies from Universal Studios are scheduled to be released this month – Freaky on November 13 and Croods: The New Age on November 25 – and other than that, the only other major movie on the calendar for 2020 is Wonder Woman 1984, which is expected to be delayed.

55% of the movie theaters in the U.S. are currently shut down and theaters in the two biggest cities – New York City and Los Angeles – still haven’t reopened.
