You may recognise him as one of those creatures from Avatar or perhaps as the son of a God in Clash of the Titans.

Either way, Hollywood hunk Sam Worthington is heading for Ireland. Well on the big screen he is anyway.

The actor is set to star alongside Timothy Spall, who you may know as Wormtail in the Harry Potter films, and Charles Dance, who is currently starring in hit television series Game of Thrones, in Riders.

Sam (right) is most famous for appearing in James Cameron’s epic Avatar.

The film, which begins shooting next year and is due to be released the following, is about a husband whose wife mysteriously disappears.

The couple settle down in Ireland after travelling Europe. But when the wife returns to Australia to collect their belongings and flies back to Ireland with their daughter, only the latter arrives at the airport.

Intrigued? So are we!
