James Cameron's first "Avatar" has not yet hit theaters but Trak.In reports that Sam Worthington has agreed to reprise his role as a paraplegic soldier in 2 sequels.
Cameron is big on starting things, not so big on finishing them. Fans would like to know if Cameron will finish the trilogy, if he'll do it in fans' lifetimes, and if he'll radically re-engineer the whole concept between movies 1 and 2.
Of course, Terminator fans will be thrilled to know that IMDB has listed "Terminator 5" among Cameron's future projects.

Sam Worthington pictures from Clash of the Titans
The original "Clash of the Titans" was memorable mainly because at the time it used state-of-the-art stop-motion photography to simulate large titans and gods. The story was forgettable and the acting was less than inspiring, not mention the dialog and direction.
Okay, it pretty much sucked all around because, frankly, even when I was a kid I kept waiting for someone to improve upon Ray Harryhausen's special effects. Not to take anything away from the man who almost single-handedly made the creation of interesting monster and dinosaur movies possible -- I was just never satisfied with Claymation technology.
And George Lucas didn't do anything to cure me of that disappointment in stop-motion photography.
So now Sam Worthington, the Australian actor who is wowing audiences in the new "Terminator: Salvation" movie as cyborg Marcus Wright, is starring in a new adaptation of "Clash of the Titans". Will I go see it? Most likely. But my expectations are high (and low).
SciFi Wire has a couple of images from the movie. It's too soon to tell if it will be better than the original film, which many people (other than me) actually remember fondly.
