Liam Hemsworth who co-starred with Miley Cyrus in The Last Song, is signing with WME. He is already repped by Morrissey management in his native Australia and by the Hollywood management company ROAR which has just gone out to studios with a pitch called Broken Run with Liam attached to star and John Singleton directing based on an original idea by Jay Longino & Michael Browning. Co-star Liam Hemsworth is one of the hunky Australian brothers (EXCLUSIVE: Chris Hemsworth Is ‘Thor’) whose overnight success is one of those great Hollywood backstories that happens only once in a blue moon. Liam had only been in Los Angeles for 3 weeks and didn’t even have an agent when he got cast as the male lead opposite Miley. Both brothers were living in their manager William Ward’s guest house at the time. No more. So what’s Broken Run about? I hear it’s an action thriller about a young diplomatic courier who doesn’t take his job too seriously until he finds himself framed for stealing state secrets.

Hunky Australian Brothers??!?! sounds like a bad porno
They sure are good-looking guys, both of them. Not sure if they can act, but I’m not sure that’s the point either. What does it say about Hollywood – that you just have to be drop-dead gorgeous, and acting ability is an afterthought? Only in town 3 weeks and starring in a tentpole movie ranchise? And actors with extensive theatre credentials never get anywhere. Hmmm.
He was only in town for 3 weeks but…. had been acting on tv shows in his native country of orgin. So he was a professional beforehand.
Also, a lot of these theater-y actors are hard to be around. They remind me of the drama kids in high school, always “on” and always trying to one up each other.
It’s great when an actor comes off like a real man or woman (although one with a unique perspective, or an outsider is cool). Sometimes confidence and good looks go hand in hand (not always). I enjoy being around confident people because you don’t have to deal with neurotic behavior or have to watch your back as much with people gossiping behind your back.
I love Amber Heard too. She’s cool. Just a badass.
Correction: Original story is by Sheldon Brigman, who is also a producer on the project. Browning and Longino are attached to write.
I’m thinking studios will have a hard time committing to this project unless Abduction does well. I wonder if Miley would go to his premier? He had lunch with her on her birthday.
Liam is solid and it’s good to see Singleton working again.
Liam seems cool. Wonder what DC or Marvel superhero he’ll play. The Flash?
Does anyone know if William Ward’s guest house is currently vacant?
John is a decent director. Don’t know much about Liam but the premise sounds solid. Not my type of film but I may check it out.
I don’t think it’s vacant. Feel free to call though.
