I like Sam myself and think this might be a decent flick with him in the lead.

um no...truly, looks the part, but as usual, type cast, sam is the same mediocre character such as avatar, a simpleton whoes eyes are widened to his destiny and the world around him, clash of the titans a simpleton whoes eyes are widened to his destiny and the world around him same, here, he is type cast he will be a simpleton whoes eyes are widened to his destiny and the world around him
soooo a big no no he cant act has no input also terminator salvation a simpleton whoes eyes are widened to his destiny and the world around him, with a grunt of a voice aka giving Christian Babble a run for his money

Not yet. Very soon. As much as I say I hated it, I'll be buying it to put on the shelf next to the original.
@Wiseguy - yeah. He made some decent little indie films back home in Australia when he first started out, but now...he and the studios both seem too keen to make him the next...bleugh...Russell Crowe. He needs to be doing what Chris Pine is doing (though I think Pine has 20 times more onscreen charisma and personality). He needs a big movie, then a couple of small ones and a play, then a big movie then a couple of small ones...etc etc.

Err
boy, sam's taking a lot of heat here.
everyone hates gigantic hollywood blockbusters despite never missing one.
having said that, is "clash of the titans" on dvd yet? i haven't seen it, and i bet it's better than "terror inside" with corey feldman.

@cyn-de-harven Yeah I guess you're right lol But I still don't think he's a good actor. And he STARS in mostly bad films.

It's a great role for Samworthy, and I like such sf adventures. Reminds me on FLASH GORDON and SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW.

I suppose this could work. He's almost forgettable in all of his roles (even as Jake Sully) because he gives relatively bland performances, not bad, just average. I despised the new Clash of the Titans though, can't easily forget about it when I see him in stuff. but I loved Avatar.

@Wiseguy
Well - he's not really the one making them. He's just the hired help...

This dude sucks. He only makes trash movies, Termintor Salvation, sucked balls, Avatar, was a piece of crap, and Clash of the Titans was a dumb, unnecessary remake. Not up for this.

Hm. Don't know Dan Dare as a property, but 2 of the guys who were involved in the absolute trashing of Clash of the Titans? I feel a bit nauseous.
