Empire State, which stars Liam Hemsworth, Emma Roberts, Nikki Reed, and Dwayne Johnson, has spent the past 5 weeks filming in Louisiana, but this weekend they move to New York City to continue shooting.
The movie follows two childhood friends whose plan to rob an armored car depository is put in jeopardy by a New York police officer.
There are signs for Empire State filming around 30th Ave and 33rd St in Queens on Saturday, July 7 & Sunday, July 8.
There was also a permit issued for Empire State to shoot around Hells Gate – Randall Island, using a light from Randal’s Island to light the the shoreline of Astoria on July 7, 8 p.m. – 5:00 a.m.

Thanks to @spellingwitch & Amy for the info!
That other location is Long Island City, Queens, NOT NYC….
What are you talking about?? Queens IS NYC…
Sorry…it is Queens, I can correct it, though if you map the address I have it does come up correctly in Queens.
Right, but if something is filming in Queens or Brooklyn or SI or something I usually do specify, just to make it a little easier, its no big deal.
they will be shooting sunday night into monday morning. i saw the signs up today and they will be shooting between skillman avenue and queens blvd on 52 street. if anything the #7 train stops right at 52 street and just walk down stairs and u will see the trucks and crew
by the way the neighborhood they will be shooting in is called WOODSIDE. just take #7 train to 52 street stop
Sunday they are filming from what time? 🙂
i think they start at around 10pm or 11pm..i will find out for sure being that im only 5 blocks away from the shoot…will get back to you michelle in a couple of hours
Thanks! 😀
michelle they are already there setting up..they have some old cars from the 70’s parked on roosevelt avenue..signs say they are shooting from sunday 8–monday 9 and didn’t specify am or pm …im guessing they will be shooting all day..i just took a walk up there and lots of PA’s around so im guessing they started shooting already
Thanks for all of the help with this location!
are they still filming in queens???
