James Cameron and Sam Worthington are already set to reunite for two sequels to Avatar, but that’s apparently not enough for Fox.  Heat Vision reports that the studio has picked up a pitch from writer Will Staples called Myth, and wants to bring Cameron, Worthington, and Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura together on the film.  However, at this stage, Cameron is only attached to executive producer with di Bonaventura and Worthington attached to produce, although no deals are final.  Cameron would not direct and Worthington hasn’t made a commitment to star.  Nothing is known about Myth other than “it’s big, it’s sci-fi, and it’s got lots of action.”  Riveting.

The talent involved at this stage is still fungible at this point but Staples is attached to write the script.  Staples’ biggest claim to fame at this point is having served as a writer on the popular Call of Duty video game series.  He, along with writing partner Sean O’Keefe, also wrote Apaches for Jerry Bruckheimer and World’s Most Wanted for Neal Moritz.

    I smell over exposure for Worthington. Same thing happened to Gerry Butler after 300 and he’s hardly made a good film since.

  • gimpsuit

    Worthington’s been in what, one film (clash) since Avatar a year and half ago? Hardly over expossed. Does he even have that many films scheduled for the next year or so?
    And this story ain’t happeneing. If Cameron is a producer it will probably be for the 3D componant, he won’t be directing, the man is a little busy elsewhere.

    I’d agree that Cameron would never direct this thing, just given the guys ego and almost compulsive need to build his stuff from the ground up. My guess is this is more Fox wanting to fold Cameron in on the business end for that, “Produced by James Cameron” credit, just on a sales pitch.

    Although I will say from what tiny details I can find about “Myth”, and the writers pedigree is “Cal of Duty”… eh this sounds like Fox telling us what we want, which to them is big, bombastic, tumbling, morality is paid for by the bullet type of movies.

    Which I can’t say I’m at all that interested in, and I am the 20-something year old male geek target demographic.

    I’ll buy anything Jim Cameron will make. He is a genius.

    Money talks, and Fox just herad what it has to say. Fox just receives a bunch of lucky punchs, but they’re more businessmen tha genuises.

    I hate Jim Cameron for making cinema expensive. But bringing these two back together won’t make another blockbuster just by itself (people can make the difference).

    Hope Cameron would never direct anything anymore.

      If you say so…^^

    As long as it’s not another remake of Fern Gully, I’m there.
