Worthington Is One Of "The Riders"

Sam Worthington, Charles Dance and Timothy Spall are set to star in a film adaptation of author Tim Winton's novel "The Riders" says Moviehole.


The story centers on an Aussie expatriate (Worthington) who "prepares to start a new life with his wife Jennifer and young daughter Bille in Ireland. His life is blown apart when he goes to the airport to meet his family, but finds only Billie and no message from his missing wife. With Billie in tow, he travels to Korcula and Paris in search of Jennifer: beginning a journey of self discovery that will alter the course of his life in ways he could never have envisaged."

Robert Connolly ("The Slap," "The Bank") is helming the film from an adapted script by Michael Hirst, Francesca Brill and Susie Brooks-Smith.

Production will kick off next year in France and along the Dalmatian Coast.
