MILES Teller will replace shamed Armie Hammer in the new series The Offer which details the making of The Godfather.
The controversial actor has been living in the Cayman Islands and dating a dental hygienist after allegedly raping multiple women.
Armie, 34, will be replaced by Miles, 34, in the Paramount+ limited series, to play Oscar-winning producer Al Ruddy, creator of The Godfather.
The series will be told from Al’s point of view during the creation of the 1972 hit classic, resulting in an Oscar win for Best Picture.
The Offer will be a 10-episode collection from writers Nikki Toscano and Michael Tolkin, and the cast will reportedly be built around Miles, says Collider.
Armie has been hiding out in the Cayman Islands while he is investigated for allegedly raping several women and asserting cannibalistic tendencies.
The LAPD launched the sexual assault investigation in March, though the actor has seemed unbothered as he “parties” on the tropical island.
Earlier this month, a source disclosed to People that the California native is in a relationship with a local dental hygienist on the island.
“They were recently on a ‘staycation’ out East, the other side of the island from where they live,” they told the outlet.
“They seem happy and comfortable with each other. They seem to have lots of friends and she introduces him to any friends who haven’t met him before when they are out.”
Armie’s ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers also lives in the Caymans along with their four-year-old son Ford and six-year-old daughter Harper.
Earlier this year, a series of graphic texts emerged allegedly between him and several women, where he talked about drinking their blood, described scenes of sexual control and referenced cannibalism.
In one such message, the actor claimed to be “100% a cannibal” and told a woman “I want to eat you.”
The investigation was launched after one of Armie’s ex-lovers, a woman named Effie, said she was “mentally, emotionally and sexually” abused by the father of two.
The Sun exclusively reported in March that The Social Network star was “sober and dating again,” as he pursues his relationship with his new lady.
Post-scandal the Rebecca star was seen enjoying the Grand Cayman sunset with a mystery blonde, now identified as the dental hygienist.
Friends have confirmed his relationship status, as one told The Sun: “Armie is seeing someone, we’ve known her a while and she’s a nice girl, I don’t believe she thinks he’s the guy he’s been portrayed as in the media.”
Despite previously “boasting of his drug use” Armie has quit both drugs and alcohol to lead a “sober” lifestyle.
An insider told The Sun: “Armie is completely sober now and really working on himself.
“It is pretty amazing to see the transformation. He seems to be in a better place.
“He is still very restricted in seeing his kids, hopefully that will all change soon.”
