Getting Into Character: Sam Worthington in Clash of the Titans

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adventure, Period, Remakes, Upcoming Releases,

Hugh Jackman may be the Aussie getting most of the attention right now, but here’s a name you should remember: Sam Worthington.

Last month, the actor got his big break starring opposite Christian Bale in Terminator Salvation. It was a role James Cameron, Worthington’s director on this December’s Avatar, suggested him for. Now Sam’s testing his fighting skills in a different forum.

The picture above is from Clash of the Titans, a remake of the 1981 film. In it, Worthington plays Perseus, the son of Zeus (Liam Neeson). The “epic action adventure” follows Perseus’ journey to battle Hades (Ralph Fiennes), the god of the underworld.

Titans, which is being directed by The Incredible Hulk‘s Louis Leterrier, also stars Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace), Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale), Jason Flemyng (Benjamin Button) and Alexa Davalos (Defiance).
