Bouncing back after his poorly received 2011 feature - straight-to-DVD Sundance flop The Son of No One - director Dito Montiel is apparently planning his big comeback with Empire State, an indie drama co-starring former WWE Champion/recent Vin Diesel antagonist Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Liam Hemsworth, who was last seen in this summers high-profile hit The Hunger Games.

Two images from the production - below - were released just this week, showing the pair on set, in character. Johnson had previously released another on-set still of his character via his twitter feed, found here.

Based upon the true-life story of two childhood friends (one played by Hemsworth) who plan to rob the cash depository from an armoured car, only to find themselves doggedly pursued by an NYC cop (Johnson), the film will also hope to showcase the talents of Twilight's Nikki Reed (see a picture of her character here), Michael Angaramo, Chris Diamantopoulos, and Jerry Ferrara of Entourage fame.

Empire State has a US release date of June 10th 2013, no UK release is set as of writing.
