It’s Official! Sam Worthington In THE FIELDS

Back in November, Pajiba said that AVATAR star Sam Worthington might be attached to the project THE FIELDS formerly known as The Texas Killing Fields, and now Variety has confirmed that report and also credited Panjiba as the source. Wow, that’s rare..

Donald F. Ferrarone wrote the script, THE FIELDS is based on a true story “two cops who realize that the latest murder in their jurisdiction connects their case to the notorious killing fields murders. The killing field murders concern four bodies that were found in the same place in Texas — along Interstate 45 near Calder Road in League City.”
There’s some adjustment to that,.. Worthington is set to play a local homicide detective who works with a New York detective.
Now previous rumor said Bradley Cooper of The Hangover might play the other guy but there’s no confirmation on that yet.

The great Michael Mann (Heat) is producing the project and his daughter Ami Canaan Mann might direct. She was the second unit director on Heat and the now dead project Racing the Monsoon
Bill Block’s QED Intl. is financing and will begin to sell international rights at the European Film Market in Berlin
Production starts in April in Louisiana.
