Sam Worthington’s development Clash

Looks like Sam is well aware of the criticisms for the “Clash of the Titans” and hopes to fix them for the sequel. Love this guy and can’t wait!

Sam Worthington’s development Clash

Sam Worthington hopes the ‘Clash of the Titans’ sequel will ‘rectify the mistakes’ the first film made.

The Australian actor – who played Perseus in the critically-slammed but commercially successful movie alongside Liam Neeson and Gemma Arterton – plans to have a different take on the first movie in the upcoming sequel by improving his performance and getting a new haircut.

He told Total Film: ‘It got roasted but it made half a billion dollars. And when we do the second one we can rectify the mistakes of the first.

‘I want to change Perseus. For a star, don’t have a fing shaved head. This time I’m going to have ringlets.’

Arterton recently revealed she was looking forward to developing her character Io and hoped she could have more interaction with Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes.

She said: ‘It’s always interesting, when you’ve done something, to revisit it ’cause you have a different take on it.

‘You remember the experience and can develop from there. It will be interesting. I really liked working with the actors, and hopefully I’ll get to work with Ralph and Liam on this next one ’cause I didn’t last time.’

Edward Burns and Genesis Rodriguez cast in “Man on a Ledge”

Edward Burns and Genesis Rodriguez have joined the cast of Summit’s thriller “Man on a Ledge,” being directed by Asger Leth.

The project, which begins shooting this month in New York, stars Sam Worthington as a fugitive ex-cop perched on the ledge of a high-rise building while a hard-living NYPD hostage negotiator (Elizabeth Banks) tries to talk him down. The longer they are on the ledge, the more she realizes he might have an ulterior objective.

Jamie Bell and Anthony Mackie also have been cast in the film.

Rodriguez plays Bell’s girlfriend who, along with Bell, tries to prove Worthington’s innocence. Burns is a rival negotiator who tries to swoop in when he believes Banks has a conflict of interest.

The screenplay was penned by Pablo F. Fenjves and rewritten by Chris Gorak and the team of Erich and Jon Hoeber.

Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian and David Ready will produce via the Di Bonaventura Pictures banner.

Burns, whose most recent major studio movie was “27 Dresses,” recently wrapped production on “Nice Guy Johnny,” which he directed and stars in. He’s repped by WME.

For Rodriguez, the “Ledge” deal falls on the heels of her nabbing the female lead in “Casa de mi padre,” Will Ferrell’s Spanish-language comedy. She’s repped by ICM and manager Ivan De Paz.
