TOTAL RECALL Trailer Premieres This Sunday

Columbia Pictures will unleash the a teaser trailer for the trailer premiere of TOTAL RECALL this Sunday during the first half of the NBA game between Boston Celtics and Miami Heat on ABC. I know. Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid ( Colin Farrell ), even though he’s got a beautiful wife ( Kate Beckinsale ) whom he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen ( Bryan Cranston ) – there is no one Quaid can trust, except possibly a rebel fighter ( Jessica Biel ) working for the head of the underg

What Do You ThinK Of A Back To The Future Reboot?

“ American Reunion ” helmers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg have inked a plum two-year deal over at Universal. Hurwitz & Schlossberg Productions were asked to move onto the Uni lot by co-presidents of production Peter Cramer and Jeff Kirschenbaum. “We entrusted Jon and Hayden with one of Universal’s most valuable franchises and we are thrilled with the result, which has been getting a tremendous response from early audience screenings,” said Cramer. Added Kirschenbaum: “They really know how to make crowd-pleasing comedies and we are excited to expand our relationship with them on other projects they create.” The writer-director duo said “When we first became friends in high school, we shared a dream of making movies, specifically laugh-your-ass-off comedies. At Universal, we feel we have found the perfect place to continue turning out dreams into reality.” Now the big question is, have Uni beckoned the boys to breathe new life into some other dormant franchises? They’

Chloë Moretz Is Carrie?

Warm up the bucket of pig blood — we’re getting closer to finding us a Carrie ! A gaggle of actresses have been reading for the lead role in Kimberly Peirce’s adaptation of Stephen King's book (which will reportedly hew closer to the source than Brian DePalma's 1976 horror classic), and now we're told the field has narrowed to two main contenders: the 15-year-old Chloë Moretz (Kick-Ass) and the 24-year-old Haley Bennett , who is starring with Ryan Gosling in Terrence Malick's next project, Lawless. These two sit at the top of a list of candidates that has included such young up-and-comers as Dakota Fanning (all growed up and, lately, a Volturi in Twilight), Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), Bella Heathcote (In Time), and Lily Collins (Mirror Mirror), who have all read for Peirce. We also hear that earlier this week, The Descendants' Shailene Woodley passed on an offer from MGM to take the title role. Meanwhile, we're also told that for the role of Carr

First Look At Michael Shannon The Iceman

In case you haven’t been following the film’s slow-cooked development, no, The Iceman is not the continuing adventures of Val Kilmer’s narky pilot from Top Gun. It is, in fact, the strange-but-true story of mob assassin Richard Kuklinski , and the first poster for the film, showing Michael Shannon in character, is now online and can be viewed below. Shannon plays Kuklinski, a man who led a strictly separate double life. To his wife Deborah ( Winona Ryder ), he was a loving, attentive family man and business type who was gainfully employed. But his other existence was something quite different: he specialised in untraceable killings and got his nickname thanks to his habit of freezing his victims post mortem to keep them from the prying detection of the police and forensics investigators. Chris Evans is co-starring as Robert Pronge, who helped teach Kuklinski the ways of the assassin, with Ray Liotta as a mob boss. Ariel Vroman is the director and co-writer who dragged this one

Warner Bros has offered the leads in the Lana and Andy Wachowki -directed Jupiter Ascending to Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis . Plot is being kept under tight wraps, but for the Wachowkis, the film is their first major science fiction action franchise play since The Matrix. Like that trilogy, Jupiter Ascending is an original creation by the duo, and it’s on track to start production later this year. It comes at a time when Tatum is becoming a formidable leading man, particularly with his back-to-back box office successes The Vow and 21 Jump Street. Kunis, meanwhile, is coming off Black Swan and Friends With Benefits and stars in the Seth MacFarlane-directed comedy Ted and Sam Raimi-directed Oz: The Great And Powerful. The Wachowskis just finished Cloud Atlas .
