Samuel Henry John Worthington was born in Godalming, Surrey, in south-east England to mother Jeanne Martyn, a housewife, and father Ronald Worthington who worked in a power plant. When he was six months old the family relocated to Perth, in Western Australia where he was brought up with his sister Lucinda almost single handedly by their mother. He attended the John Curtin College of the Arts in Fremantle, south of Perth, specialising in dramatic arts, but he did not graduate. Upon leaving college, his father presented him with $400 and sent him off on a one way trip to Cairns in Far North Queensland, and told him to work his way back home. He worked odd jobs, mostly in construction, and ended up in Sydney working as a bricklayer. While doing that and at the age of nineteen he auditioned for Sydney's National Institute of Dramatic Art and won a scholarship. 

Worthington secured his first big screen role in the Australian comedy drama film 'Bootmen' in 2000, Directed by Dein Perry and also starring Adam Garcia and Sophie Lee. That same year he scored his US break through role on the 100th episode of 'JAG' in the aptly titled 'Boomerang : Part 1'. He followed this up with single episodes on Aussie television drama series 'Water Rats' and 'Blue Heelers'. This was followed by WWII POW drama thriller 'Hart's War' with Bruce Willis, Colin Farrell and Terence Howard; then local Aussie '60's crime drama film 'Dirty Deeds' with Bryan Brown, Toni Collette, Sam Neill and John Goodman; then another Aussie crime caper offering 'Gettin' Square' with David Wenham, Timothy Spall and Gary Sweet; Aussie independent drama 'Somersault' with Abbie Cornish; and then Aussie AC/DC fandom inspired film 'Thunderstruck'. 

2005 saw WWII film 'The Great Raid' about the Raid at Cabanatuan on the island of Luzon in the Philippines also starring James Franco, Benjamin Bratt, Marton Csokas, Joseph Fiennes and Connie Nielsen. This was followed up in 2006 by an Australian modern day gangster themed adaptation of 'Macbeth' set in Melbourne in which Worthington plays the title character. 'Rogue' followed - the Aussie horror thriller about a giant man eating crocodile running amok in the Kakadu National Park in Australia's Northern Territory. The film also starred Radha Mitchell and John Jarratt. Perhaps Worthington's breakout role came in 2009 with a reboot of the post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi action offering 'Terminator : Salvation' Directed by McG and also starring Christian Bale, Anton Yelchin, Common, Michael Ironside, Helena Bonham Carter and Bryce Dallas Howard. The film received mixed Reviews but grossed US$372M from its US$200M budget costs.  

Also in 2009 came another very wise casting decision for Worthington, with James Cameron's Written, Directed, Produced and Edited record breaking Sci-Fi epic 'Avatar' in which the Actor takes top billing as Jake Sully - a disabled former Marine who becomes part of the Avatar Programme. Also starring Stephen Lang, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana, Michelle Rodriguez and Giovanni Ribisi, the film cost US$237M to make and grossed US$2.8B making it the highest grossing film in cinema history - a record that still stands eight years after its release. The film bagged three Academy Awards and was nominated for another six, won two Golden Globes and two other nominations, won two BAFTA's and received another six nods and all up took a total awards haul of 88 wins and 128 other nominations. Four sequels are currently in the works with James Cameron helming his blockbuster franchise filming all these instalments concurrently, with release dates set for December 2020, December 2021, December 2024, and December 2025. Worthington, Saldana and Weaver all signed on for sequels.

The new decade saw a remake of the 1981 film of the same name 'Clash of the Titans' based loosely on the Greek myth of Perseus as played by Worthington in this updated Louis Leterrier Directed version, and also starring Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, Mads Mikkelsen, Liam Cunningham, Nicholas Hoult, Danny Huston, Luke Evans, Pete Postlethwaite and Gemma Arterton. The film received lacklustre Reviews although it recovered US$494M from its US$125M budget investment, spawning a sequel in 2012 with 'Wrath of the Titans' with Worthington, Fiennes, Neeson and Huston all reprising their roles joined this time around by Bill Nighy, Edgar Ramirez, Toby Kebbell and Rosamund Pike. This film was negatively received by Critics and returned US$305M from its US$150M budget. On the strength of this performance 'Revenge of the Titans' planned for a 2013 release, was canned.

Also released in 2010 was romantic drama 'Last Night' with Keira Knightley and Eva Mendes; straight to video offering 'Love & Distrust' with Robert Pattinson, James Franco, Robert Downey Jnr. and Amy Adams; and then 'The Debt' Directed by John Madden and starring also Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Ciaran Hinds, Tom Wilkinson and Marton Csokas. The inspired by true events 'Texas Killing Fields' followed in 2011 with Jessica Chastain and Chloe Grace Moretz, and in 2012 'Man on a Ledge' with Jamie Bell, Edward Burns, Anthony Mackie, Ed Harris and Elizabeth Banks.  

2013 saw an Australian film about the birth of the modern Australian surfing industry back in the '70's with 'Drift' and also starred Xavier Samuel and this was followed up in 2014 with the David Ayer Written, Directed and Co-Produced actioner 'Sabotage' with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Later that year came 'Cake' with Jennifer Aniston, American Civil War action thriller 'The Keeping Room' with Hailee Stansfield and then locally Produced Australian children's drama offering 'Paper Planes' with David Wenham.

Next in 2015 came the historical drama 'Kidnapping Mr. Heineken' about the 1983 kidnapping of the Chairman and CEO of the brewing company Heineken International and one of the wealthiest individuals in Holland, Freddy Heineken. Anthony Hopkins plays the lead role here with Worthington playing Willem Holleeder - one of five friends who hit upon a get rich quick scheme by kidnapping the said business tycoon and demanding a ransom of almost sixteen million pounds sterling. That same year also saw biographical drama film 'Everest' about the ill fated 1996 Mount Everest disaster in which eight people died when caught in a blizzard trying to either ascend of descend the summit. With an all star cast that included Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, Jason Clarke, Robin Wright, Emily Watson and Keira Knightley the film returned US$204M from its US$55M budget, and was well received by Critics.

2016 saw Mel Gibson's highly acclaimed WWII biographical wartime drama film 'Hacksaw Ridge' about the experiences of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield) during the Battle of Okinawa, as an American pacifist combat medic and Seventh Day Adventist who refused to carry a weapon or firearm of any kind. He saved the lives of some seventy soldiers during that bloody conflict against heavily dug in Japanese forces. The film made US$176M from its US$40M budget outlay. Earlier this year saw the Christian drama film 'The Shack' with Octavia Spencer and Radha Mitchell and has so far grossed US$96M from its US$20M budget.

This brings us up to date. In between time there were other television series appearances on the likes of 'Love My Way' in which Worthington appeared in ten of the thirty episodes televised between 2004 and 2005, then 'The Surgeon' appearing in all eight episodes of this short-lived 2005 series, and then television mini-series 'Deadline Gallipoli' in which Worthington portrays one of three reporters sent out to Gallipoli to report on the conflict there that ultimately saw extensive Australian and New Zealand casualties in 1915 together with those of British and other allied forces.

Next up for Worthington is the Jonathan Moscow Directed 'The Hunter's Prayer' then Sci-Fi thriller 'The Titan' of how a military serving family take part in a ground breaking experiment of genetic evolution and space exploration. This has wrapped filming and will be released in 2018. Currently in production is anthology television series 'Manhunt : Unabomber' for the Discovery Channel taking an in depth look at how an FBI Profiler, Jim Fitzgerald (Worthington) helped track down Ted Kaczynski (Paul Bettany) and the terror he inflicted through a bombing campaign that lasted close to twenty years between 1978 and 1995. Also in Pre-Production are the aforementioned 'Avatar' sequels.

All up Worthington has 48 Acting credits to his name, five as Producer, and one each as Writer and Director on the 2004 seven minute short film 'Enzo'. He has six award wins under his belt so far and a further seventeen nominations including two wins by the Australian Film Institute as Best Actor in 2004's 'Somersault' and 2009's 'Avatar'.

Worthington is married to Australian advertising model and media personality Lara Bingle, with whom he has two sons - Rocket (born in 2015) and Racer (born in 2016). In 2014 Worthington attracted the attention of the world's press for all the wrong reasons when he was arrested in New York City for assault on a paparazzo in retaliation for allegedly kicking Bingle in the shin. The case went back and forth with both sides claiming no wrongdoing. Ultimately a US$3.7M lawsuit against Worthington was raised which was settled out of court before going to trial in September 2015.

Sam Worthington - has been voted as Australia's Most Stylish Male Celebrity, Man of the Year, and one of Australia's Most Likeable Young Leading Men in his time. Before being cast in 'Avatar' he had AU$2K to his name, had sold almost all his worldly possessions and was living in his car - what a turn around! Has played across just about all genres from romance, to horror, to comedy, to wartime, to biographical, Sci-Fi, fantasy and is equally at home in playing small local Aussie independent fare to big budget epic Hollywood blockbusters and in the process has worked with some of the biggest names in the business. Good luck to you Sam, and good on ya for keeping us entertained and for keeping us guessing as to what's next. Happy Birthday to you, from Odeon Online.

What's new in Odeon's this week : Thursday 25th May 2017.

Who would have thought that a theme park ride attraction, which opened at Disneyland in 1967 and was one of the last Disney theme park attractions overseen by Walt Disney would go on in later years to become a media franchise that encompasses numerous theme park attractions, a series of films, and spin-off novels, as well as a number of related video games and other media publications.

This coming week we have five new cinematic offerings to tease you out to your local picture house, kicking off with a big Hollywood blockbuster that sees the fifth film in this highly successful  franchise set on the high seas with a larrikin Captain at the helm of his good ship needing to thwart an undead enemy in order to save his kind the world over. We then get more serious with a film of the meaning of life and divine intervention as one man struggles to overcome a family tragedy; before turning to a New York fixer that gets in way over his head with a foreign Prime Minster and the local community who support him. We then wrap things up with a comedy based on a graphic novel about a grumpy middle aged man who gets a new lease of life after discovering that he has a teenage daughter to the wife that he separated from seventeen years earlier; and a biopic of an acclaimed Chilean poet and politician who goes on the run in the late '40's because of his outspoken beliefs that rattle the authorities but gain the respect and support of the people.

With such a rich choice of films to watch this week as Previewed below, or those still out on general release, and as Reviewed and Previewed between these humble pages previously, what reason do you have, not to catch a movie. When you have done so, remember to share your thoughts, observations and opinions with your like minded cinephiles here at Odeon Online, by leaving your relevant, pertinent and succinct views in the Comments section below this or any other Post. We'd love to hear from you, and in the meantime, enjoy your film experience.

'PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN : DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES' (Rated M) - the trailer for the latest in this hugely successful franchise would have us believe, that, allegedly, this is the final voyage for the good ship Black Pearl and her merry band of seafaring pirates as led by the most infamous swashbuckling blaggard of them all Cap'n Jack Sparrow. And so here we have this fifth instalment in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series Directed by the Norwegian pairing of Espen Sandberg and Joachim Ronning for a cool US$230M budget outlay. This film has been in development since before the release of 'On Stranger Tides' in 2011 and went through extensive re-writes, filming delays and budget issues to ensure that the script and the production were just right to almost guarantee its commercial and critical success. It has been reported that Johnny Depp takes home a pay packet worth US$67M for reprising his role for the fifth time as our titular hero of the seven seas. The film is released in the US and China this week also.

Here this story which draws its inspiration from 'The Curse of the Black Pearl', sees down on his luck Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) pursued by his arch-nemesis Captain Armando Salazar (Javier Bardem) who is a powerful undead pirate who has existed in The Devil's Triangle (aka The Bermuda Triangle) since being betrayed by Sparrow and left to languish there with his Spanish Navy ghost ship, the Silent Mary, and her crew. Able to effect an escape for himself, his crew and his ship he goes in search of the legendary Trident of Poseidon that will give him the power to destroy all the pirates upon the high seas, and wreak his vengeance on Jack Sparrow. Joining his trusty pirate ship mates from the previous films are Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, Kevin McNally, Keira Knightley with new recruits Brenton Thwaites as Henry Turner the son of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, Kaya Scodelario as Carina Smyth a head strong academic astronomer who both team up with Cap'n Jack to thwart Salazar. David Wenham also stars, as does a cameo by Paul McCartney. Early indications  point to a critically successful film, and the Directors have indicated that this instalment may not necessarily be the last yet.

'THE SHACK' (Rated M) - based on the 2007 book of the same name by William P. Young, this film is Directed by Stuart Hazeldine, went on release in the US in early March and has so far grossed US$89M from its US$20M budget costs. This film charts the story of Mack Phillips (Sam Worthington) who as child suffered from physical and emotional abuse by his often drunken father, as did his Mother. As a grown man, Mack enjoys a plentiful, happy, contended life with his wife Nan (Radha Mitchell) and their three children Kate, John and Missy. One day however, Mack's life is turned upside down and inside out during a family camping trip when Missy disappears while he is saving his other two children from a canoeing accident. When the Police determine that Missy has been killed at the hands of a serial killer, Mack's life slowly but surely unravels, until the day that he receives a mysterious letter inviting him to an abandoned shack somewhere in the Oregon wilderness.   Reluctantly he ventures to the shack and there is greeted by a trio of strangers led by a woman named Papa (which was Missy's term for God) played by Octavia Spencer. As a result of this meeting, Mack learns important truths that change his understanding of his family's tragedy and ultimately change his life forever.

'NORMAN' (Rated M) - the full theatrical title of this American/Israeli Co-Production is 'Norman : The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer' and is Written and Directed by Joseph Cedar with Richard Gere in the highly praised title role of Norman Oppenheimer. Here Norman is a one man 'consultancy' firm who works out of his briefcase and scams his way through his professional life by connecting people with his seemingly influential network and who gets things done no questions asked. One day an Israeli dignitary visits the city and Norman decides to establish contact by buying Micha Eshel (Lior Ashkenazi) a very expensive pair of shoes. The ruse works and the two become close associates. Three years later Eshel becomes the Prime Minister of Israel, and as a result Norman quickly rises in esteem through New York's Jewish community. But as Norman loses contact with with the now Prime Minister he finds it increasingly difficult to maintain his smoke and mirrors persona as his former fabrications to gain confidence, win respect and build trust come back to haunt him. Also starring Steve Buscemi, Charlotte Gainsborough, Michael Sheen and Hank Azaria.

'WILSON' (Rated MA15+) - Directed by Craig Johnson and based on the 2010 published graphic novel by Daniel Clowes, this film Premiered at this years Sundance Film Festival in January and had its US release at the end of March. Made for just US$5M and has so far recouped US$660K. The Wilson here is played by Woody Harrelson a lonely, isolated middle age grumpy guy who decides to track down the wife who left him seventeen years ago - Pippi (Laura Dern). She tells him that he is the father of their daughter Claire (Isabella Amara) - now a teenager, whom he never knew existed up until this point. Shocked, stunned, excited, hopeful and a little anxious, Wilson takes it upon himself to connect with the teenage daughter as he experiences fatherhood for the first time, tries to reconcile with his ex-wife and make a good impression with his new daughter.

'NERUDA' (Rated MA15+) - this biographical drama film is Directed by Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larrain, who last brought us the highly acclaimed 'Jackie' released earlier this year, that scored 38 award wins and 148 nominations from around the circuit. First shown at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, released in Chile in August 2016, the US in December 2016 and in France in January 2017, this small yet not insignificant little independent film finally arrives into Australian cinemas this week having collected nine award wins and another 25 nominations along the way. Popular Chilean poet-diplomat and politician Pablo Neruda (the pen name of Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basalt), played here by Luis Gnecco stands opposed to the administration of Chilean President Gabriel González Videla, and in an address to the National Congress in 1948, speaks out against anti-communist repression. As a result, Neruda and his artist wife Delia (Mercedes Moran) are forced underground and into hiding. However, loved by the general public, Neruda decides that being in hiding is no place for him as he dodges the attempts of overzealous and largely incompetent Police Inspector Oscar Peluchonneau (Gael Garcia Bernal) who is out to make a name for himself by bringing in the country's most infamous fugitive. What ensues is a thrilling game of cat and mouse as Neruda reinvents himself and his work, leaving behind clues for his would be captor by taunting the authorities and hiding in plain sight. Neruda eventually escaped via a mountain pass into Argentina. He died in 1973 aged 69 under suspicious circumstances having been awarded the International Peace Prize, the Lenin Peace Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature amongst others.

Five films to choose from this coming week that offer us big epic Hollywood swashbuckling action fare, and four other smaller films largely concentrating on the exploits, adventures, misadventures and tragedies of individual men - both real and fictitious. When you have sat through your film of choice, remember to share your movie going thoughts with us here at Odeon Online. Meanwhile, I'll see you sometime, somewhere in the week ahead, at your local Odeon.
