Tyrese Gibson, Ray Liotta and Scott Eastwood will lead the Los Angeles riots thriller "April 29, 1992" which will begin shooting in August.

The trio will lead the Los Angeles riots thriller "April 29, 1992", the forthcoming feature from the breakout director of "The Iceman", Ariel Vromen. Pre-production from a script by Sascha Penn is underway, aiming for an August start.

Gibson, a South Central L.A. native, will play opposite on-screen father and son Liotta and Eastwood. The film takes place on the first night of the riots, centering on a custodian who brings his son to work. The two quickly find themselves in the middle of a heist gone wrong.

Ariel Vromen helms the feature from a script by Sascha Penn. Penn, Vromen, Adam Kolbrenner, Andreas Rommel and Maurice Fadida are producing.

The project is aiming to be ready for next year's 30th anniversary of the riots which were sparked by police brutality against Rodney King.
