BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Colin Farrell Confirmed For Total Recall

He’s been rumoured for a while now, but given his busy schedule, Colin Farrell was by no means a lock for the lead in Sony’s Total Recall remake. But now, according to producer Neal Moritz, the actor is on board and shooting is set to kick off in May.

Chatting with Collider, Moritz revealed a few intriguing titbits about the new film, which is being brought to the screen by Underworld/Die Hard 4.0’s Len Wiseman. First up? It’ll be a different world to the one created by Paul Verhoeven for the 1990 original, which saw Arnold Schwarzenegger as a construction worker convinced he's also a secret agent after visiting a memory-implantation facility. This time, the plan is to hew even closer to Philip K Dick’s story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.

"It’s closer to the book, the big difference is we don’t go to space,” explains Moritz, adding, “Instead of it being a spaceship that takes us to another planet, there’s something that takes us from one side of the planet to another that’s really interesting.” So Colin won’t be getting his ass to Mars? We’re frankly a bit disappointed: “Get your ass to Taipei” just doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

And if you’re still frothing with barely-contained anger at the idea that Wiseman is the director they’ve chosen to follow in Verhoeven's footsteps, or even that someone would want to attempt a new take on Total Recall at all, Moritz aims to diffuse some of that fury by promising a nifty, futuristic spectacle.

“I think the world that Len Wiseman is creating is incredible. It’s a real world, a real future world, where the cities have just gotten so overcrowded that the cities are just built up, up, up, up. We’re playing it like a real world, but there are all these technological advancements, and it’s just really, it’s cool. It’s an awesome movie. I’m dying — as a fan of movies, more than anything, it’s a movie that I’m just dying to see.”

Finally, the film will not be giving in to one big trend – there are currently no plans for it to be made in 3D, despite all the studios pushing the format with gusto. “We’re not gonna do Recall in 3D,” says Moritz. “We decided that it would be too much.”

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
