Sam Worthington set to do space battle for Warner Bros.?

Jeez, what the hell happened to Sam Worthington in the last year or so? Oh right, dude’s busy counting his moon-high stack of green.

Until now that is…

Deadline reports Worthington is set to star in an untitled “space war” movie for Warner Bros, which just made a preemptive pitch deal with writer Aaron Guzikowski (PRISONERS, CONTRABAND). Word is Worthington’s CLASH OF THE TITANS producer Basil Iwanyk is also onboard.

The logline for said untitled sci-fi action project is being shrouded, although it’s described as “a grounded space war film.” Hard not to think of STAR WARS or AVATAR there, but I guess another intergalactic battle scene ain’t too shabby a prospect. What do you think?

Worthington’s schedule seems free after filming is wrapped on a movie called DRIFT, which is now in pre-production. He also has THE FIELDS due out later this year, as well as MAN ON A LEDGE (in post) and CLASH OF THE TITANS 2, which is currently filming. All of this without mentioning his involvement in the planned AVATAR sequels.
