Avatar star Sam Worthington has nabbed a starring role in Alphas.
The film will be directed Final Destination 5 helmer Steven Quale and will be set in a coastal community terrorized by a school of sharks.
The people in the town make a decision to deal with the man-eating threat by unleashing a damaged killer whale held in captivity for years after killing its trainer.
Worthington will be playing an environmentalist who takes it upon himself to convince the owner of the killer whale sanctuary to set loose the beast that almost ended her life years ago.
Alphas will be produced by Pierre Morel, Steve Richards, Renee Tab, and Christopher Tuffin via Sentient and Endurance Media Production.
Given that we have seen several shark movies, this one presents nothing new. It’s only distinguishing element is the introduction of a rival in the form of the killer whale.
Worthington’s casting ought to attract commercial success for the upcoming film as his impressive resume makes him a good choice.
