Filipino filmmaker Pedring Lopez (Nilalang, Maria) will soon be working with Sam Worthington (Clash of the Titans) for a thriller titled CounterPlay.
The Avatar franchise star will take on the role of a former kidnap and hostage negotiator who comes out of retirement to help get a young man accused of drug trafficking out of the Philippines and back to Australia (via SD/FCS).
