Melbourne
(ANI):
Australian
actor
Sam
Worthington
will
soon
be
practising
the
phrase
"Hasta
la
vista,
baby" as
he
will
be
stepping
into
the
shoes
of
Arnold
Schwarzenegger
in
the
new
Terminator
movie.
Worthington
has
grabbed
the
legendary
role
in
'Terminator
Salvation:
The
Future
Begins'
after
his
big
break
as
Titanic
director
James
Cameron's
leading
man
in
the
multi-million-dollar
science
fiction
epic
'Avatar'.
Not
only
will
the
31-year-old
get
a
spectacular
launch
into
showbiz,
the
Terminator
role
will
further
strengthen
his
star-power
in
Hollywood.
To
top
it
all,
the
thrice
Oscar
winner
director,
Cameron
is
doing
word-of-mouth
publicity
for
the
Aussie
actor,
citing
him
to
be
the
next
Russell
Crowe.
"He's
got
the
weight,
he's
a
tough
guy
-
a
young
Russell
Crowe," The
Daily
Telegraph
quoted
Cameron,
as
saying.
And,
it
was
reportedly
Cameron
himself
who
proposed
the
NIDA
graduate
for
the
fourth
Terminator
movie,
to
be
directed
by
Joseph
McGinty
Nicol
(aka
McG).
Though
the
'Terminator
Salvation:
The
Future
Begins' storyline
has
not
been
revealed
yet,
Worthington
will
be
playing
the
role
of
Marcus,
a
central
figure
in
the
three-picture
arc
that
begins
after
Skynet
has
destroyed
much
of
humanity
in
a
nuclear
holocaust.
The
other
person
to
join
the
"Rogue"
star
in
the
film
will
be
'Batman
Begins'
and
'The
Prestige'
star
Christian
Bale
playing
John
Connor,
who
struggles
to
keep
the
machines
from
finishing
the
job.
