Back in November 2009, before Sam Worthington broke out with Avatar but after he had garnered some attention for Termination Salvation, he signed on to star in an adaptation of the comic book The Last Days of American Crime.  And the project has been silent until today.  Deadline is reporting that director F. Gary Gray (Law Abiding Citizen) will helm the project, which centers on a group of thieves who plan to pull off a heist before America launches a new mind-control technology that will erase the criminal impulse in all citizens.  Karl Gajdusek (Horizons) is rewriting the script.

While Worthington has a slew of projects at his disposal, Deadline reports that he’ll do American Crime as his follow up to the Clash of the Titans sequel.  Shooting is expected to begin in September. Hit the jump for the comic’s official synopsis.

Actor Sam Worthington has decided he’s not busy enough with the 78 billion movies he’s attached to and so he’s started up his own production company, Full Clip Productions.  Now, Heat Vision reports that Full Clip is teaming with comic publishing house Radical Studios to “create and develop intellectual property that would be published with an eye towards screen adaptations.  Radical is almost as busy as Worthington, and has been developing the twisted fairy tale Legends for Imagine Entertainment, and Oblivion with director Joseph Kosinski (TRON Legacy).

Worthington and Radical already had a working relationship as he’s attached to produce and start in an adaptation of their graphic novel, The Last Days of American Crime.  Hit the jump to learn about their new project, Damaged and run the list of Worthington’s other projects.

Sam Worthington Signs on for Adaptation of Upcoming Comic Series THE LAST DAYS OF AMERICAN CRIME

Here’s hoping that Sam Worthington is the real deal.  He was good in Terminator Salvation (although he had some trouble nailing down an American accent and occasionally lapsed back into his native Australian) but he’ll have to win over audiences in a big way with his leading performances in Avatar and Clash of the Titans if he wants to lessen the inevitable backlash towards him for having the audacity to be a rising star in Hollywood.

Thankfully, Worthington is playing it smart and not trying to be the biggest star in every upcoming blockbuster.  He’ll just be one of the biggest co-stars in the upcoming adaptation of the upcoming comic book series The Last Days of American Crime.  Hit the jump for details.
