Although in the early stages of production, reports suggest that Sam Worthington (Avatar, Clash of the Titans) is to play Dan Dare in the latest comic book movie.
Dan Dare was a British sci-fi comic hero in the 1950's originally created by Frank Hampson. The stories were set in the '90's but the dialogue and manner of the characters were reminiscent of 1950's Britain. However the rumoured Sam Worthington movie would be based on the rebooted version by Garth Ennis through Virgin Comics in 2008.
Dan Dare was the chief pilot of the Interplanet Space Fleet. Although he wasn't exactly a super hero, he pulled off exceptional piloting skills, excelled at jiu jitsu and was extraordinarily lucky.
Talking to MTV, Sam states "We're seeing how they're going to develop it and where they want it to go. I'm at that stage now where I want to do movies where I get my $16 worth.
"Something like Dan Dare, there was something in the reboot by [Garth Ennis] that was amazing."
