Melbourne, Aug. 3 : Actress Sigourney Weaver is all set to star alongside Australian actor Sam Worthington in the film 'Avatar', to be directed by James Cameron.
The 57-year-old actress says that she is very impressed with the film's script.
"It's a fantastic movie. So ambitious. So romantic and sweeping. I can't wait to get back," Moviehole quoted Weaver, who was shooting again this week, as telling Hit.
Weaver is also all praise for 'Macbeth' star Wothington.
"He's a terrific actor, he really is. And a lovely guy. I think he's going to do a wonderful job. His humour and charm and just genuineness as a person are very evident as soon as you start working with him," she said.
The actress has revealed that the film will feature her in the role of a botanist who mentors Worthington's character.
"I'm not allowed to give too much away, but we have parallel adventures. There's a younger person's story and a smaller, older person's story all happening at the same time. All my scenes are with (Worthington). It's really a lovely relationship," she said.
Meanwhile, Variety magazine has reported that Cameron has also roped in Stephen Lang and Michelle Rodriguez to star in the film, which is in production in Los Angeles.
Lang plays a seasoned Marine Corps colonel who travels to the faraway planet Pandora to take charge of its troops, while Rodriguez plays an ex-Marine pilot.
"Michelle Rodriguez is someone I've wanted to work with since I saw 'Girlfight' seven years ago," said Cameron.
'Avatar', which will be filmed in a new digital 3-D format, is scheduled to debut on May 22, 2009.
