Sam Worthington Commits Last American Crime

With Avatar a month away from release and Clash of the Titans hitting cinemas next March, the world is still giving a collective “We’ll get back to ya” attitude towards Sam Worthington. However that hasn’t stopped the actor from lining up roles in the next year or so. If the world doesn’t go ga-ga for him (like they didn’t after watching Terminator: Salvation), it’s smart to get shit lined up ahead of time.

Mania has the word the Aussie thesp has signed up for The Last Days of American Crime. If you haven’t heard of that, it’s a comic-book whose first issue is set for publication next month. It’s actually a damn cool concept if I say so myself.

Essentially, we’re talking about a sci-fi heist movie. Career criminals hatch their last job (oh the clichés!) before a new mind-altering technology that kills all the criminal impulses of society hits the market. Worthington will be Kevin Cash, a safecracker brought into the fold at the last minute.

As long as this doesn’t turn into Ocean’s 14, I could see audiences willing to watch this. Choosing the right director will be their next crucial step. Who the producers hire for that gig is anyone’s guess.
