Up-and-comer Sam Worthington is not sleeping on his laurels. With starring roles coming up in next year's Avatar and Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, he's already lining up his next job, in** **John Madden's The Debt.

It's the English language remake of Israeli crime thriller Ha-hov. Alongside veteran hottie Helen Mirren, Worthington will play a Mossad agent hunting down a Nazi war criminal. The original film focuses on Rachel, one of three Mossad agents tracking down "the surgeon of Treblinka" 35 years after she and her comrades faked his death.

The script was written by Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman, the Stardust team who are currently working on upcoming comic-book movie Kick-Ass. Brit director Madden is best known for Shakespeare In Love.

As well as Worthington's upcoming roster of big budget blockbusters, Terminator Salvation and Avatar, he is also in final talks for Louis Leterrier's remake of Clash of the Titans, which will mean he is a very busy boy next year. So if you don't know him yet, be prepared to get to know him soon.
