Check Out This Extended TV Spot For ‘Total Recall’!

by Shawn Madden

Are you excited for Total Recall to finally hit theaters? I know I am. Check out this exciting extended TV spot!

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) who 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), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.

Total Recall is in theaters on Friday!

Jessica Biel Bails On ‘The Wolverine’! Svetlana Khodchenkova Steps Into The Role!

by Scott Alminiana

Last week we reported that Jessica Biel had been added to the cast of The Wolverine and would be playing Viper. Talks have since broken down and Ms. Biel will not be in the movie, but that hasn’t stopped Fox from moving on and finding a new actress for the role.

Twitchfilm is reporting that Fox is in talks with actress Svetlana Khodchenkova to take over the role. Khodchenkova is a relatively unknown actress to people state-side, she was most recently seen in last year’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The movie is scheduled to begin shooting next month in Sydney, Australia.

Hugh Jackman will once again don the claws as Wolverine and James Mangold is directing. The Wolverine claws its way into theaters July 26, 2013.

Jessica Biel Added To ‘The Wolverine’!

by Shawn Madden

So, now even if this movie sucks you can watch it for the sheer enjoyment of the beauty of Jessica Biel being in it. You read that right kiddies. Ms. Biel has joined the cast as Victoria/Viper.

According to Marvel lore Viper bounces between good and not so good and she holds some sway over Wolverine but is mostly a foe to the X-Men and Avengers.

I hated that last Wolverine movie but the recent castings has definitely increased the interest I have in this flick that started with James Mangold directing.

Brand New Full-length Trailer For ‘Total Recall’

by Shawn Madden

So, I am actually not a fan of the original ‘Total Recall’ due to how far it drifted from the Phillip K. Dick story that it originated from. I know…blasphemy right? But half the people I’ve told about this didn’t even realize that ‘Total Recall’ is based off of ‘We Can Remember It For You Wholesale’. When when they announced that they were doing a movie that actually kept to the source material I was excited. With an awesome cast including some gorgeous women and some great looking effects…how could I not be excited for this?

Find out what is real and what is recall on August 3rd.

 

‘Total Recall’ Viral Posters Want You To Tell Them Your Fantasy

by Shawn Madden

With an upcoming release it looks like we’ve started to see a bit more advertising for ‘Total Recall’. These posters (which i’m assuming will hit the streets at next months San Diego Comic-Con) are advertisements for Rekall. In the movies Rekall is a fictional company that offers “implanted memories for a cost”.

 

And if you haven’t seen the trailer by now:
