The first photos of Dwayne Johnson and Liam Hemsworth – that’s ‘Rock’ and ‘Gale’ to you that prefer to keep as in-character as most thesps do – in “Empire State” are online.

Deadline, who have the exclusive on the stills, say the pic “tells the true story of two pals in the 1980s who stole all the money stored at an armored car company. Production is ongoing in New York and New Orleans on the period pic, which is being produced and financed by Emmett/Furla Films and distributed by Lionsgate. Adam Mazer wrote the script and Dito Montiel is directing.”

Montiel’s last film, “Son of No One” starring Channing Tatum was rubbish… here’s hoping this is better.
