The movie: Hemsworth stars as a corporate spy tasked with getting secrets from an opposing business, and his life goes from terrible to amazing very quickly. But when he tries to step away from his handlers, things start to go terribly wrong. I assume Ford and Oldman will play the heads of the rival corporations.
Other projects: Ford will star in the sci-fi flick Ender’s Game, Oldman will play the villain in a revenge thriller called Motor City, and Hemsworth will of course reprise his role of Gale in the Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire.
