Following his exit from Shotgun Wedding, Hammer said in a statement: "I'm not responding to these bulls*** claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I'm grateful to them for that."
A production spokesperson for Shotgun Wedding said at the time: "Given the imminent start date of Shotgun Wedding, Armie has requested to step away from the film and we support him in his decision."
