As you see in our title, Sam Worthington is once again attached to star in an untitled sci-fi project.
Believe it or not, we’ve just learned that Avatar man will star in something described as a “space war” project, set at Warner Bros.
Of course, we are not here to write about Avatar 2 or Avatar 3, so in case you’re curious to find out more details about the whole thing, check out the rest of this report.
Ok, it’s not hard to guess that not much is known about the project at the moment, but we do know that the upcoming science fiction action project will be written by Aaron Guzikowski, as well as that this project will reunite Sam Worthington with his Clash of the Titans producer Basil Iwanyk.
Leonardo DiCaprio Attached to Star in Prisoners
According to Deadline Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio is eyeing to make Prisoners his next feature, an Aaron Guzikowski-scripted thriller/drama that Alcon Entertainment partners Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson bought last year.
In the movie DiCaprio would play a small-town carpenter who kidnaps the person he suspects is behind the disappearance of his young daughter and her best friend. Deadline describes the movie as Mystic River meets Taken.
Christian Bale Joins Prisoners?
Mark Wahlberg, Bryan Singer and now Christian Bale has attached himself to star in the upcoming thriller “Prisoners” written by newcomer Aaron Guzikowski.
Wahlberg has been on the project from the beginning. Singer said that he want’s to direct the film, but he is not officially attached and neither is Christian Bale.
THR’s Risky Biz Blog has read Aaron Guzikowski’s script, and breaks down the main plot:
After his 6-year-old daughter and her friend are kidnapped, a small-town carpenter butts heads with a young, brash detective in charge of the investigation. The father is a Bible-reading, deer-hunting survivalist. The cop, meanwhile, can’t wait to get to the city. Feeling failed by the law, the father captures the man he believes responsible and begins to torture him in a desperate attempt to find out what he did with the girls, whom he’s convinced are still alive.
“That’s the basic setup. There’s a lot more there, but we won’t spoil it except to say the two leads have great arcs and the supporting players, especially the mothers, have juicy parts. The script is dark — Disney ain’t touchin’ this one — and a real page-turner.” [THR]
It’s already a solid that Wahlberg will be playing the dad, and THR seems to be indicating that Bale is up for the brash cop role.
So far the project hasn’t been sold to any Studios because Endeavor is holding off until a director is attached.
