Sam Worthington stars in Midi Z's English-language debut

30 Jan - Sam Worthington has recently been announced as part of the cast of the upcoming English-language debut of award-winning filmmaker Midi Z.

The actor, who was last seen on "Avatar: Fire and Ash" will be joined by David Duchovny and Midi's past collaborator Wu Ke-xi in "The Exiles," which is described as "a desperate Westerner's pursuit of greener pastures in Asia, where greed, rivalry and ego ultimately spiral into a shocking murder."

The crime-thriller is currently shooting on location in Taipei.

David Duchovny is also part of the upcoming film

Said Midi, "It's my great privilege to create with this amazing team, from Sam and David, to my longtime collaborators Ke-Xi and Lim Giong, to Ed and Hank behind the camera, all of whom I've long admired, and to be able to bring this special production to my hometown of Taipei."

The Taiwan-based Myanmar-born director is known for his many festival favourites, like "Ice Poison" (2014) and "The Road to Mandalay" (2016).

He has also worked with Wu Ke-xi on 2018's "Nina Wu", the actress whom also co-wrote the upcoming film.
