Sam Worthington shows no signs of slowing down. With Avatar still making a dent in the box office -- despite being overtaken by Dear John this weekend -- and Clash of the Titans heading to the theaters, Variety has confirmed that the Aussie star will play the lead in The Fields.
Originally titled Texas Killing Fields and written by Donald F. Ferrarone, a former DEA operations agent, the script follows the (scarily) true story of two detectives who attempt to the solve the mystery behind over 70 murders near some oil refineries in coastal Texas.
Talking to Deadline Hollywood, producer Michael Mann said:
It's a brilliant screenplay, filled with things you cannot make up in Hollywood, things you would have had to find the dead bodies in a heroin operation to understand. That’s why it’s such a haunting piece. This is such a spooky zone in Texas where cell phones don’t work, where the homes sit on trailer stilts, and where there’s a hand-painted sign on the bridge that reads, "You Are Now Entering the Cruel World."
In other (and completely untrue) news, Sam Worthington will now be starring in everything -- even your home movies.
