We already know that Sam Worthington and James Cameron are heading back to Pandora for two more "Avatar" movies, but that won't necessarily be the last — or even the first — sci-fi collaboration between the two of these talents.
The Hollywood Reporter informs us that Cameron, Worthington, "Transformers" producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and writer Will Staples are teaming together to create "Myth," a project that has no further details beyond the fact that "it's big, it's sci-fi, and it's got lots of action." Cameron is not expected to direct, and at this point, it's even unclear that Worthington will star in the film — though one can certainly hope!
Though Worthington's casting in "Myth" remains unconfirmed, there's plenty of other new cast additions going on in Hollywood today. Check them all out past the jump!

"Lost" fans hoping for a Sawyer-Miles buddy-cop spinoff may have to wait awhile because things just got a whole lot more "Impossible" for Josh Holloway.
Holloway, who played badboy-with-a-heart-of-gold Sawyer for six season on "Lost," is in final negotiations to team up with Tom Cruise for "Mission: Impossible 4." In his first post-Island film gig, Holloway will join newbie recruits Paula Patton and Jeremy Renner, as well as returning vets Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames, in enlisting in the Impossible Mission Force headed up by Cruise's Ethan Hunt.
With J.J. Abrams producing and "Incredibles" director Brad Bird at the helm, we couldn't be more enthusiastic about the film's prospects. And Holloway's proven proficiency with both firearms and a sharp one-liner make us confident he'll earn his keep in the cast. In short, we can't wait to see him on the big screen when "M:I-4" hits theaters on December 16, 2011, and we're glad he's found some success in his "Lost" afterlife.
Speaking of which, now that it's been four months since "Lost"'s audience-dividing tearjerker of a finale, what's the rest of the "Lost" cast up to? Hit the jump to find out! Read More...

Written By: Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz & Elizabeth Sarnoff
Story: Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley have no time to mourn the deaths of their friends as they begin their pursuit of Desmond Hume, the man that Sayid identified as a threat to Smocke.

Episode Title: "The Candidate"
Written By: Elizabeth Sarnoff & Jim Galasso
Story: Charles Widmore has locked Sawyer, Kate, Hurley, Jin, Sun and Frank in the polar bear cages on Hydra Island, forcing Smocke, Jack and Sayid to mount a rescue effort. Once it's clear that leaving the Island via the fallen Ajira Airways plane would be a mistake, Smocke devises a plan to use another means of travel — one that has terrible consequences for some of our heroes.
In the Sideways reality, Jack believes that Locke is a candidate... for spinal surgery, that is. Locke is oddly resistant to Jack's proposal, leading the curious surgeon to investigate the cause of the paraplegic's spinal injury. Read More...

Episode Title: "The Last Recruit"
Written By: Paul Zbyszewski & Graham Roland
Story: Hurley (Jorge Garcia) has led Jack (Matthew Fox) and friends directly into the lion's den — better known as Smocke's (Terry O'Quinn) camp. The artist occasionally known as The Smoke Monster does his best to woo Jack over to the dark side with surprisingly honest revelations, but his hand is forced when Charles Widmore (Alan Dale) fires the first shots of war.
In the wake of an explosive incident, Smocke sets Sayid (Naveen Andrews) after Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) while Sawyer (Josh Holloway) hatches a plan of his own to get Kate (Evangline Lily) and the others off of the Island for good. Meanwhile, the players of the Sideways Universe continue to come together, with Jack's hospital seeming to serve as a central location. Read More...
