Liam Hemsworth is set to star in 'Timeless'.

The 'Hunger Games' actor will star as a young man who builds a time machine to go back and meet his wife, who left him the money to build the temporal device when she died.

Phillip Noyce is directing the project, which was written by 'Enchanted' scribe Bill Kelly.

Filming is set to begin on the romantic movie in July, according to MovieHole.

Liam - who is currently dating teen star Miley Cyrus - has a number of big roles coming up in 2012, including a part in 'The Expendables 2' as Bill 'The Kid' Timmons.

According to IMDB.com he is also lined up to star in 'Arabian Nights' as lead character Ali Baba, and 'The Power of the Dark Crystal'.

Liam is not the only member of the Hemsworth family to be doing well - his brother Chris will soon reprise the role of Norse God Thor in 'Thor 2' and also has a starring role in 'Snow White and the Huntsman' alongside Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart.
