Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator: Salvation) has signed on to portray a safecracker set to pull off one final heist in a big screen adaptation of Rick Remender’s Radical Comics series, The Last Days of American Crime.  Remender is writing the screenplay based on his mini-series, which is due to debut in December.  The Orwellian saga posits a future invention that gives the government the ability to eradicate crime through thought control.  With the new device set to go online, career criminal Graham Brick assembles a team to pull off one last mega-caper.

 

Worthington will play Kevin Cash, who along with his girlfriend joins the team at the last minute to assist in the job.  According to Mania.com additional announcements concerning the studio, director, and other cast members will be forthcoming in the near future. 

 

Radical is publishing The Last Days of American Crime in its new squarebound 64-page format that will be distributed to both comic shops and bookstores (see “Radical Goes With Random”).
