Sundance Film Festival Tribute Event Marred by Dakota Johnson’s Armie Hammer Joke
Actress Dakota Johnson made a bold statement at the Sundance Film Festival on Thursday during a memorial service for director Luca Guadagnino.
At an event celebrating Guadagnino’s work in the acclaimed film Call Me By Your Name, several actors and industry experts shared their thoughts on the director’s work.
“It was here at Sundance in 2017 that audiences experienced a film that is uniquely characterized by Luca’s iconic approach to storytelling, the vision, and the style that is Call Me by Your Name,” Johnson stated while paying tribute to the director as he accepted the festival’s International Icon Award at the Taste of Sundance event.
“Sadly, I wasn’t in that one. It was unfortunate. Luca had asked me to play the role of the peach, but our schedules conflicted. Thank God, though, because then I would’ve been another woman that Armie Hammer tried to eat.”
Johnson’s joke elicited a range of responses from the audience, as seen in a Variety video. Others groaned, while others laughed apprehensively.
The controversial scene in Call Me By Your Name, in which Hammer’s character masturbates with a peach while thinking about her father’s assistant, is among the latest allegations against Hammer. It has taken on new meaning.
Johnson, who has previously worked with Guadagnino on the films Bigger Splash and Suspiria, continued his speech, apparently moving on to discussing the director’s upcoming film, Bones and All.
The film, which is described as a cannibal love story, is set to be released in 2022.
“It’s been five years since that film premiered here, and Luca hasn’t stopped taking us to exciting places,” she stated. “Who knew that cannibalism was so popular?”
A Sensitive Topic
Several actors and business experts discussed Guadagnino’s work at the celebration of the director’s contribution to the critically acclaimed movie “Call Me by Your Name.”
However, the event was overshadowed by the controversy surrounding one of the film’s lead actors, Armie Hammer.
Hammer, who gained critical and audience favor with films such as “The Social Network,” “The Lone Ranger,” “The Man from U.N.C.L.E,” and “Call Me by Your Name,” saw his Hollywood career come to a halt after he was accused of engaging in disturbing sexual discussions with women who said they’d been in relationships with him.
Hammer denied the allegations, and his attorney, Andrew Brettler, called them “bulls—” at the time.
The situation took a turn for the worse in March 2021, when a woman identified only as Effie accused Hammer of rape and other physical abuse.
Hammer repulsed the allegations, and his attorney, Andrew Brettler, told EW at the time Effie’s “own correspondence with Mr. Hammer undermines and refutes her outrageous allegations. As recently as July 18, 2020, [she] sent graphic texts to Mr. Hammer telling him what she wanted him to do to her.
“Mr. Hammer responded making it clear that he did not want to maintain that type of relationship with her.”
The Sundance Film Festival tribute event for “Call Me by Your Name” director Luca Guadagnino was a reminder of the impact that the film had on audiences and the film industry as a whole, even as the shadow of the allegations against Hammer loomed over the event.
The situation has left many in the industry questioning what the future holds for Hammer’s career.
