Drifting Home

Sam Worthington will return to his hometown of Perth, Australia to star in the $11 million surfing drama "Drift" reports The West Australian.

The inspired-by-facts story follows how surfing evolved from a pastime to a global industry. Worthington will play a photographer and journalist instrumental in that revolution.

Shooting will take place around Easter next year to take advantage of Western Australia's big waves, moodier skies and the Pro Margaret River Surfing event held around that time.

Morgan O'Neill and Ben Nott will both direct
