You’ve truly arrived in Hollywood when you launch your own production company, and go-to tentpole star Sam Worthington has joined the ranks. Teaming with Michael Schwarz and John Schwarz, the actor has launched Full Clip Productions which will develop projects for publication and for potential big screen adaptations.
The first project on the slate will be “Damaged,” based on an original idea John Schwarz and Michael Schwarz. David Lapham will write the graphic novel which will then be adapted into a screenplay by a writer yet to be hired. Worthington and John Schwarz are attached to star in the film in the film which “centers on two brothers committed to justice in different ways — one inside the law, one violently beyond it. Now with the end of their careers approaching, they must train their replacements, hoping to remake them in their image. But the vigilante code has changed and the brothers are left unprepared for the true lawlessness and corruption that is about to be unleashed.” Radical Studios will co-produce the film which sort of sounds like a mix between “We Own The Night” and “The Departed,” so it’ll be interesting to see if this material moves in a different direction.
Radical Studios are also working with Worthington on the previously announced adaptation of the graphic novel “Last Days Of American Crime.” Last we heard, the futuristic noir was waiting a draft of the script by the comic’s author Rick Remender.
These are just a couple more projects on Worthington’s ever growing plate of potential films including the McG rom-com “This Means War“; the sci-fi adventure “Quartermain” and “Dracula: Year Zero.” Worthington is confirmed to star Ami Canaan Maan’s “The Fields” as well as “Clash Of The Titans 2.”
