No, not the Jack you're thinking of! It's rumored that he'll star in the 2010 sci-fi horror movie based on the video game "BioShock". Anyone with an Xbox 360 knows that BioShock is an awesome game (yeah I play a little) & it's being made into a motion picture!
Wentworth's character (if this rumor is in fact true), Jack, is on a plane that crashes in some underwater creepfest of a place. Click below to read the synopsis I got from IMDB (thanks to my girl Simply Elated AKA Sweet-N-Stuff)!
The film is said to be in pre-production. We'll hang loosely to these details as pre-production info can change dramatically, not to mention we can't swear by what we read on IMDB! Hopefully all this is real & we'll get to see Went on the big screen next year!

Video game synopsis:
The story takes place in 1960 and follows Jack, who, at the beginning of the game, is on board a plane flying over the Atlantic Ocean. The plane unexpectedly crashes into the middle of the Atlantic, and Jack is the lone survivor. He makes his way through the wreckage and eventually swims to a nearby lighthouse, which he soon finds is the secret entrance to the underwater city of Rapture. Rapture was created in 1946 by Andrew Ryan, who believed the city to be the solution to the increasingly oppressive political and religious authority in the world.
When the city was first built, it was just what Andrew Ryan had imagined, a paradise of freedom of wealth. The city was populated by those whom Ryan believed to be the best in humanity. All was going according to plan. However, the city's downfall resulted from the same reason it was created; Ryan's hatred for authority. In Rapture, contact with the surface was prohibited, which made smuggling extremely profitable. Therefore, the black market became dominated by an ex-mobster named Frank Fontaine, who, unlike Ryan, had an extreme thirst for power. Fontaine wanted complete control of the city, but he needed more than just wealth to achieve it. Fontaine worked closely with Dr. Bridgett Tenenbaum, a German scientist who first discovered ADAM in Rapture. ADAM consists of stem cells extracted from a species of sea slugs. ADAM greatly accelerated genetic engineering research, creating a plasmid industry that sold everything from a cure for male pattern baldness to skills such as electrovolt (which gives the user the ability to emit electric bolts from their fingertips) and telekinesis (which gives the user the ability to move objects with their mind). At first, the scientists of Rapture paid no attention to Tennenbaums new invention, but Fontaine was able to help her get it off the ground. Also with Fontaines help, Tenenbaum was able to create the Little Sisters, who were young girls each with a sea slug embedded in their body to improve ADAM yields. At the same time, the Big Daddies, genetically enhanced humans in large diving suits, were created to protect the Little Sisters as they worked.
In 1958, Andrew Ryan apparently lost patience and had Fontaine killed. Unfortunately for him, another man, Atlas, took Fontaines place as the leader of the opposition. On New Years Eve of the same year, Atlas and his ADAM-augmented followers formed a riot that involved the upper and lower classes of Rapture. This resulted in a civil war between Ryan and Atlas that eventually spread to include the entire city, crippling Rapture.
By the time Jack enters the city in 1960, all ordered society in Rapture has collapsed. On the bathysphere (elevator) ride down to Rapture from the lighthouse, Jack finds a radio from which Atlas meets and begins communicating with him. Atlas tells Jack that he will do all he can to help keep him alive, and to just trust and listen to him. Atlas tells Jack some of the story of Rapture, how Andrew Ryan is corrupt, and he tells him about the rebellion and war. He claims that Ryan has captured his family, and he begs for Jack to go and save them. Atlas teaches Jack everything about ADAM, and he claims that the only way to survive is to gain ADAM and use all of abilities granted by plasmids. He tells Jack to kill all of the Little Sisters and extract all of their ADAM, because it would be the best source for it. However, Dr. Tenenbaum overhears Atlas via radio and urges Jack to save all of the Little Sisters, and claims that it will be worth his while.
As Jack works his way through the terrifying city of Rapture, he learns about Raptures fate and history through audio logs, genetically-induced playbacks of past events, and radio messages. He must fight off all opposing splicers, citizens with severe mental and physical problems due to excessive ADAM use and addiction, who attack him constantly and unconsciously on orders from Ryan, and in search for more ADAM. As Jack encounters the Little Sisters, he must not only decide whether to save or kill them, but he must eliminate all of the overly-aggressive Big Daddies as well. With each step he takes, Jack will discover more and more horrifying truths, encounter nearly-impossible obstacles, and learn that not everything is what it seems in this terrifying dystopia called Rapture.

i heard this was actually an april fool's joke. i forget who published it, but it also had pacino in the movie as well. last i knew, it's just a joke.
Thanks, Anon, for the info... I'd hoped it wasn't too good to be true! Rats LOL!
The movie itself is being made, however no one knows if Went is actually being considered for the role. It would be awesome though! Great director.
I hope it's real, too. It may not be, but I also doubt it's an April Fool's joke. I try to keep a very close eye on Wentworth's profile on Imdb and this info was not there on April 1st. I'm pretty certain of that.
While in China, Wentworth did say his next film would be an independent romance and then maybe he'd do some plays, so it could very well be misinformation. At the same time, his fans aren't the only ones that know how talented he is and as soon as the rest of Hollywood became aware that his contractual ties to FOX were about to be severed, the line at his agency could've began ringing off the hook. Maybe the romance fell through and this film is more promising. Who know? Only time will tell! :) I hope it is true. I love SciFi! :)
Well, I'm hoping this is in fact true b/c I'd love to see him in something else. I hope someone would pitch the idea of a remake of "The Shining" b/c that is the movie I dream of seeing him in!
