Dumbass Armie Hammer’s snit-fit I wonder which is more uncomfortable—promoting a movie that you know sucks, or promoting a movie after it tanks? Based on Armie Hammer’s recent interviews, he does not seem to be enjoying promoting The Lone Ranger in the wake of its disastrous performance this summer—and let’s By Sarah • Aug 06, 2013 09:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny & Armie on the red carpet The Lone Ranger premiere happened the other day. Not in Hollywood but at Disney California Adventure Park. Depp, as we know, has been a Disney man for some time now. He’s made a lot of money for Disney as Captain Jack Sparrow. Disney has paid him a lot of By Lainey • Jun 24, 2013 09:39 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Ranger in Tokyo, Tonto in LA Armie Hammer was in Tokyo today promoting The Lone Ranger all by himself. But you know how the Japanese feel about Johnny Depp. Johnny is shooting Transcendence in LA right now and couldn’t make it. I’m sure they’ll have him back at a later date. Johnny’s By Lainey • May 13, 2013 04:15 pm
Media Manipulation Armie Hammer’s apprenticeship I said once that no matter how bad The Lone Ranger looks, I wouldn’t bet against director Gore Verbinski pulling a rabbit out of his hat and coming up with something entertaining and crowd-pleasing, if not exactly good. Verbinski is the kind of director that exceeds in chaotic conditions By Sarah • Apr 26, 2013 11:23 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Little Johnny, Big Armie There are worse things than The Lone Ranger. Like, say, Transformers 1-3, conclusive. Or World War Z. WWZ looks terrible because it’s so freaking generic, like someone threw Independence Day, Armageddon and The Walking Dead into a blender and WWZ is the vomitus mass that came out. Or the By Sarah • Apr 18, 2013 11:18 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Lone Ranger looks sh-tty, will make money anyway The second trailer for Disney’s The Lone Ranger is out and oh God, it looks hilariously awful. Not because of Johnny Depp as Tonto, but because it just looks like a clichéd, bloated summer action movie. So, like, bad in the regular way. People are, of course, always and By Sarah • Dec 11, 2012 01:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp ‘s Tonto might not be a joke Gore Verbinski’s The Lone Ranger has been something of a cursed movie. Pre-production budget wrangling turned into on location over-spending, an already long shoot fell behind schedule, and, tragically, a member of the crew died in an accident on set. It just doesn’t get worse than that. But By Sarah • Oct 04, 2012 11:16 am
Maple Leaf Is this your Finnick? E! News reported the other day that Taylor Kitsch, Garrett Hedlund, and Armie Hammer were on the short list to play Finnick in Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games. Multiple sources tell me that Armie Hammer is far and away the first choice of director Francis Lawrence. That By Lainey • Jun 01, 2012 12:56 pm
Exclusives Redefining Tonto & Depp with Paradis Yesterday the first image from Gore Verbinski’s The Lone Ranger was released, featuring Armie Hammer as the Ranger and Johnny Depp as Tonto. I texted Lainey that I was into it and she responded that she was over Depp and his overly elaborate costumes and makeup, and that she By Sarah • Mar 09, 2012 10:33 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Mirror Mirror is beyond second-hand embarrassing When I wrote about ending the Snow White “war” last week, I said it was over not because one movie was better than the other, but because they’re targeting totally different demographics and there would be little audience crossover. (Really, Relativity needs to worry about Hansel & Gretel: Witch By Sarah • Nov 16, 2011 10:36 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Prince Armie You remember my friend with all the hang-ups, even when people wear Converse? Click here if you missed that article yesterday. Well she also has one about shortened man-names that she finds infantile. I had to hear about it in another rant yesterday. Like "Bobby" instead of Bob By Lainey • Oct 12, 2011 12:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews This must just be a bad trailer It happens. A bad first trailer followed by an awesome second one and the film ends up being really, really good. Because on paper, Clint Eastwood + Leonardo DiCaprio + Judi Dench and a Dustin Lance Black screenplay, it’s an Oscar automatic, right? J Edgar was being called an Oscar automatic By Lainey • Sep 20, 2011 06:06 am
Oscars 2011 Oscar Diction: Armie Hammer My colleague Ben Mulroney, the host of etalk, is pretty tall. Probably 6 ft 2. I can’t remember Ben ever interviewing someone and having to hold the mic UP to the subject. Until I watched it on the monitor during the live red carpet show yesterday as he spoke By Lainey • Feb 28, 2011 08:34 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Leo on set: pyjamas to tuxedo Clint Eastwood is known for motoring through a shoot. He’s nothing if not efficient. And so Leonardo DiCaprio was on set yesterday filming in several costumes, first at the house, in pyjamas, and then at night with Dame Judi Dench and Armie Hammer, who plays his lover, all dressed By Lainey • Feb 11, 2011 03:04 am
Girly Throw Downs How much would LiLo pay… To be the dude in between Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy courtside at the Laker game last night? What would she thief in exchange for it? Leo and Tom had a little Inception reunion while watching Los Angeles lose a close one at the buzzer to the San Antonio Spurs. By Lainey • Feb 04, 2011 02:36 am
Amazingness SAG Jinx: Justin Timberlake Click here for a refresher on what I wrote last week. When JT doesn’t show up, The Social Network cleans up. When he does show up, like at the Producers Guild, TSN gets no love. Justin attended the SAGs last night. Guess what happened? The Social Network was trumped By Lainey • Jan 31, 2011 02:07 am
