Empty City Archives

A man (Sandler) who lost his family in the September 11 attack on New York City runs into his old college roommate (Cheadle). Rekindling the friendship is the one thing that appears able to help the man recover from his grief.

New York City, NY :: Steering away from comedy, Adam Sandler is returning to the silver screen with another big dramatic role.  Sandler, 39 and Liv Tyler, 28, filmed scenes for Mike Binder’s Empty City yesterday afternoon at 24th St. and Lexington’s Baruch College Vertical Campus.  Liv Tyler is rumored to play the character of Angela, the wife of Adam Sandler’s character. One of my insiders revealed that they transformed the college campus building into a courthouse for this specific scene… and Adam Sandler even rented out Baruch College’s gymnasium for himself to play basketball during film breaks! Actors Don Cheadle, 41, and Jada Pinkett Smith, 34, also star in the film — Jada’s character name is Janeane.  More pictures in the gallery!
