What's Next for Sam Worthington

Sam Worthington has several films on the docket after starring in several films last year, including "Clash of the Titans" and "Last Night." But hit was 2009's blockbuster "Avatar" that catapulted him to notoriety.

With several films set to make screen at festivals and be released in theaters for moviegoers, what is next for the Australian actor? One of his upcoming projects is the drama-thriller "The Debt," co-starring Helen Mirren and Jessica Chastain.

"The Debt," a remake of the 2007 Israeli film of the same name, premiered at last year's Toronto Film Festival and was originally set to be in theaters by the end of 2010, but its opening was pushed to the following year. Worthington stars as a young David, who is a former Mossad agent. "The Debt" was directed by Assaf Bernstein and co-written by Berstein and Ido Rosenblum.

Worthington reunites again with Chastain in crime drama "Texas Killing Fields," loosely based on a real-life events about women who were murdered and dumped in a field in Southern Texas. Worthington stars as one of the two detectives, alongside Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The film is set to be released Oct. 17 after playing at the Venice Film Festival in September.

"Man on a Ledge," an upcoming thriller directed by Asger Leth, is next up -- set to be released in 2012. The plot centers on a fugitive who fakes a suicide while his brother carries out a big heist. Worthington plays Nick in the Pablo Fenjves-penned feature, which co-stars Elizabeth Banks, Jamie Bell and Ed Harris.

The sequel to the 2010 film "Clash of the Titans" follows with Worthington reprising his role as Perseus. The film slated for an early 2012 release.

Worthington isn't stopping. Earlier this year, it was announced that the Avatar star would star in surfing film Drift, set in the southwestern portion of Australia. Set in 1972, Drift centers on the Fisher brothers as they start a new life in a remote Australian town.
