It’s a sign of the times and even fictional characters are suffering. Liam Hemsworth and Lucas Till were snapped on the set of their new thriller “Paranoia”, in a scene that sees their characters seemingly fired or laid off from a cushy job. Just Jared has the first photos of the two looking preppy but rather sad as they lug around boxes of items that clearly once littered an office desk. Robert Luketic is currently directing the film in Philadelphia.

Hemsworth plays Adam Cassidy, a low level employee of a high-tech firm who finds himself in trouble and agreeing to become a spy at a rival company. When he discovers he has a knack for the business, he skyrockets to success and achieving, at alarming speed, a luxurious life he never could have dreamed of. When he tries to break free of the people for whom he’s spying, he finds himself in over his head. Till plays a friend and (former?) co-worker. Amber Heard will play Hemsworth’s love interest, and Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman round out the cast.

“Paranoia” is set for a September 23, 2013 release. See more photos of Hemsworth and Till below, and head to Just Jared for more.
