Sam Worthington (Avatar, Clash of the Titans) will star in Drift, reports Variety.
The film, financed by Screen Australia, is a drama set in the surfing world.
"'Drift' combines serious Australian talent both in front of and behind the camera with [co-helmers] Morgan O'Neill and Ben Nott, together with Sam Worthington who has been in some of the highest grossing international films of the last few years," said acting Screen Australia's Fiona Cameron.
She added that "The unique combination of surfing and performance expertise gives 'Drift' the potential to be the first character-driven action movie set in the surfing world since Kathryn Bigelow's 'Point Break.'"

Sandman Still Happening!
Source: Twitter March 15, 2011
In a very exciting turn of events for fans of Neil Gaiman's "Sandman," it seems that yesterday's reports of the television series' development delay are not entirely accurate. Comic book author and DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns has just Tweeted that the series is, indeed, moving forward and, best of all, he'll be working alongside Gaiman to bring Dream to the small screen.
"Correction to world," Johns says, "The Sandman is AWAKE! :) Psyched to be working with [Neil] on developing one of the greatest series ever!"
He then adds:
"Sandman in any form - comics to live action - doesn't work without [Neil]"
Speculation suggests that Eric Kripke's comments yesterday indicate that he is no longer involved with the project's development and, while fans may be dismayed by the "Supernatural" creator's theoretical departure, having Gaiman on board is surely a creative coup for all involved.
Sandman, which launched DC Comic's Vertigo imprint, ran for 75 issues beginning in 1989. Gaiman's worlds-within-worlds weaved an episodic anthology, focusing on the allegorical character of Dream and his brothers and sisters, known as the Endless (Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium, Destruction and Destiny).
Confirmation and additional information should be available shortly, but, in the meantime, "Sandman" fans should start getting excited.
