As I recently made the mistake of watching the new Clash of the Titans movie, I couldn’t help but shake this feeling of deja vu.  Sam Worthington wrestled with his half man/half god complex while struggling to make sense of his destiny- and I had been there before.

First of all- where did this guy come from?  Within one year (May 09′- Apr 10′) Worthington exploded onto the scene with three big-budget US releases.  He first showed up in Terminator Salvation- in which he plays a half man/half robot killing machine, who’s destined to save the world.  All the while trying to get a grip on his humanity.  (You can  probably stop reading the rest of this paragraph right now…)  Next we have Avatar- in which he plays a half man/half alien killing machine, who’s destined to save the world (not ours, you self-centered bastard).  All the while trying to get a grip on his humanity.  And then there’s Clash of the Titans- in which he plays a half man/half god killing machine, who’s destined to save the world/mankind.  Yes, all the while trying to get a grip on his humanity.

With Halloween around the corner it seems as if there’s only one explanation for this:  Sam Worthington in a were-wolf.  He obviously knows his role, I don’t know anyone that’s ran into him during a full moon, and he’s from Australia- I’m pretty sure I heard one time that everyone from Australia is a were-wolf.

Sam’s next big movie is out in December and it’s called The Debt.  I can only assume he plays a half man/ half house mortgage- who happens to be one family’s only hope to save their home after the bank forecloses- all the while struggling with his humanity.
