Harrison Ford is poised to accept a role in space thriller "Godspeed".

Ford has seen his schedule clear after plans for a new "Indiana Jones" film fell apart when there were problems with the script.

"Godspeed" is set to be produced by "Titanic" director James Cameron and written by Ryne Douglas Pearson - who penned "Mercury Rising".

The new film is set on an international space station, as is the way with these things something happens that threatens the lives of all on board.

"Godspeed" is set to start production in the autumn.
