Emma Roberts & Nikki Reed Team Up on the "Empire State"

Teaming up in the Big Easy, Emma Roberts and Nikki Reed were side-by-side on the New Orleans set of their new movie "Empire State" on Thursday afternoon (June 7).

The two young actresses were in costume and looking hot to trot while stepping out of their hair and makeup trailers en route to log a little more time in front of the cameras.

As for Emma and Nikki's new movie, the Dito Montiel directed drama is centered on "two childhood friends who plan to rob an armored car depository, and the NYPD officer who stands in their way."

Also starring Liam Hemsworth, Dwayne Johnson, Michael Angarano, Jerry Ferrara and Chris Diamantopoulos, "Empire State" is set for a June 10, 2013 release.

Liam Hemsworth thriller “Empire State” has rounded out its supporting cast with “Twilight” star Nikki Reed, Michael Angarano, “Entourage”‘s Jerry Ferrera, Paul Ben-Victor and Chris Diamantopoulos, according to Deadline.

Dwayne Johnson and Emma Roberts had already been cast in the heist thriller described to be based on “the true story of a 1982 NYC armored car company robbery thought at the time to be the largest cash heist in U.S. history.” Hemsworth plays one of two friends who pull off the daring heist in the 1980s-set thriller. No word who the other friend may be (our guess is on Angarano), though Roberts will play a waitress and Hemsworth’s love interest, while Diamantopoulo will play a mob boss who suspects the two youngsters while the rest of New York believes it was a major mob conspiracy. Production begins next Tuesday in New York, with Dito Montiel directing from an Adam Mazer script.

Reed appears in the final installment of the “Twilight” saga, “Breaking Dawn: Part II”, this November. Angarano was last seen in Steven Soderbergh’s “Haywire” and recently completed two indie comedies, “The Brass Teapot” opposite Juno Temple and “The English Teacher” opposite Julianne Moore and Lily Collins.
