Avatar and Terminator Salvation star Sam Worthington seems to be the most in-demand actor today with reports that he had signed to star in a new movie. This time, Worthington is poised to appear in surfing drama Drift.

Aside from Drift, the Australian actor is also tied to a number of films currently in development like Dracula Year Zero, Quartermain and Dan Dare.

When production for Drift begins next year, Worthington will move back to Australia to take part in the production. He told the Western Australian that he is looking forward to go back to his homeland.

"I'm a WA boy at heart and to go back there and put something back into my hometown is something I am really looking forward to," he said.

Drift is based on the true story of a photographer and journalist who contributed in making surfing a global industry.

"There's something pure and true about surfing, and there is something pure and true about this script," Worthington said.
