'Empire State' Trailer, Liam Hemsworth's New Movie [VIDEO]: Miley Cyrus' Fiance Faces Off Against Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson
Miley Cyrus might be all over the news these days thanks to her music video for her new song "We Can't Stop," but her reportedly on-again fiancé Liam Hemsworth's latest movie trailer is certainly newsworthy. Empire State -which will be released on September 3, 2013 - is a movie about two childhood friends who become armored truck security personnel and organize a robbery. Hemsworth stars alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who is the detective in charge of the robbery case. This film is based on the true story of an armored car heist in 1982 resulting in $11 million stolen.
Though the cast seems like a big draw, Empire State will be released straight to video. So don't plan on seeing Liam on the big screen with this film, though he has some other projects in the works including The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Here is the official synopsis for Empire State:
After failing to get into the police academy, Chris Potamitis (Liam Hemsworth), settles for a security guard job with the EMPIRE STATE Armored Truck Company. Chris makes the mistake of mentioning the company's lax security to his best friend, Eddie (Michael Angarano), and is soon unwittingly drawn into an elaborate scheme to rob the abundant amounts of cash being stored there - resulting in the largest cash heist in U.S. History. As the stakes continue to rise, Chris and Eddie must outwit James Ransone (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), the veteran NYPD Detective that is hot on their trail, as well as the local crime bosses that want to know who pulled a job on their turf, or suffer the consequences.
