The news of James’ association with movie projects like World War Z and The Lone Ranger has been making rounds of the entertainment world for last few weeks.

And with one more potential film script bringing a role for former The Pacific actor, it seems like he has hit the green patch!

The latest movie to have James on board is Flight. The biggest attraction of the action tableau is award-winning star, Denzel Washington. Denzel would be seen in the role of a savior, Whip, whose witty life-saving acts as a pilot would come under scrutiny.

The plot of the movie would zero in on a possible plane mishap. And after Washington’s character lands the flight safely, further investigation into the matter would denounce his heroic deed, labeling him an alcoholic and a drug addict.

It’s not known what role James will play in the movie, but we know that his character would be suffering from cancer. Apart from Washington and James, another star who would be seen in the enthralling film is Melissa Leo.

I must inform you that James and Melissa’s stint in the movie hasn’t been confirmed yet, as the deals are in preliminary stage.

But chances are rife that the tough guy would make it into John Gatins’ story.

And it certainly is going to make for a good watch, with The Pacific actor sharing screen space with the likes of Melissa and Denzel. As of now, the news has gone viral online, and all the fans of James would have made their minds set to witness his latest avatar.

Even with a gloomy role of a cancer-stricken guy, you can’t take away the possibilities of James pulling out a surprise. More important than anything else, since you are not aware how his character would fit into the plot of Flight, we can’t write it off as inconsequential.
