In the glitzy world of Hollywood, a project was announced almost a year ago, involving a pair of powerhouse actors - Russell Crowe and Liam Hemsworth. As reported by Deadline, they teamed up for the high-octane action thriller, 'Land of Bad'. Today, we're taking a trip down memory lane to revisit this exciting announcement.
Hemsworth and Crowe: An Action Duo to Reckon With
Hemsworth, best known for his roles in 'The Hunger Games', 'The Expendables', and 'Independence Day: Resurgence', took a walk on the wild side as he portrayed a green air controller, thrust into a treacherous extraction with no weapons or communication other than a drone overhead. Crowe, the thrice Oscar-nominated actor, played Reaper, an Air Force drone pilot trying to salvage a botched Delta Force mission. "Working with such talented actors as Russell and Liam is a dream come true. They are both incredible performers," said Highland Film Group CEO Arianne Fraser.
The Drama Behind the Drone
The film showcased the riveting story of a mission turned sour, with our stars given a mere 48 hours to rectify the situation. This nail-biting narrative was the brainchild of David Frigerio and Will Eubank, the same duo that brought you 'Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin'. Eubank also sat in the director's chair for 'Land of Bad'. "I couldn't be more stoked to be making this timely film especially with my good friend Will Eubank piloting the ship. I am beyond excited to watch Russell and Liam bring these characters to life. Buckle up!" added writer-producer David Frigerio.
A Flashback to the Film's Journey
'Land of Bad' hit the sales floor at the renowned Cannes market and had its principal photography set to commence in September in Australia. The movie had a veritable dream team behind it, including R.U. Robot and Highland Film Group. The film's thrilling plot and high-profile cast made it a must-watch for any action movie fan. Liam Hemsworth's performance in the film added another impressive credit to his flourishing career.
Revisiting this enticing announcement reminds us once again of the extraordinary talent that both Hemsworth and Crowe brought to the table. 'Land of Bad' promised a gripping journey with high stakes, action, and drama, and it certainly delivered.
