Sam Worthington Signs Up For Future Crimes
|
Sam (Terminator Salvation, Avatar, Clash Of The Titans) is set to further his SFX credentials by starring in a futuristic crime caper movie. Based on a comic book from Radical Publishing (issue one of which is on sale in December), The Last Days Of American Crime is a heist thriller told against a sci-fi backdrop. The comic’s creator, Rick Remender, tells Mania.com that, "It's really motivated by Mamet's Heist film and James Ellroy's American Tabloid, Ellroy being an example of the kind of hard-boiled crime that has a socio-political backdrop and Mamet's Heist a very well-thought out film that focuses on the heist itself." Remender, whi will be taking a first stab at the script, says that announcements abot cast, director and studio will be coming fast: "Producer Michael Schwarz and Barry Levine have been working very hard on this. The people that they're bringing in are all big A-list Hollywood people." |
From the this news story on the home page – 'Comic book The Last Days Of American Crime is set for the bog screen...'
A movie only being shown in toilets? It's certainly got a USP! ;-)

My name is Gianluca Glazer and I work for Radical Publishing.
In your article, you have Sam's producing partner misspelled as "Schwartz" instead of "Schwarz". His last name does not have a "t" in it. If you could please make the correction, I would really appreciate it. Please let me know when the change has been made.
