When they announced the Len Wiseman-helmed reboot of Total Recall a while back, I wasn’t too excited. This may have something to do with Wiseman, who, aside from some good solid work on Die Hard 4.0, has spent most of his career directing his wife Kate Beckinsale in latex fetish fest Underworld and its disastrous [...]
It may have a terribly off-putting title (and let’s face it, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever standard terrible) but ‘Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes’ backs that up with an even more off-putting premise. Emanuel is a troubled 17-year-old girl who babysits her new neighbour Linda’s “baby,” which is actually a very life-like doll. She goes [...]
You have to worry when a film’s musical medley finale is far more entertaining than what you’ve just sat through. Another snag for the filmmakers of the equally disappointing Valentine’s Day last year is their biggest star, Robert De Niro, is woefully miscast in the sombre role, when his true comedic talent is apparent in [...]
Despite the title being a little bit too obvious a joke for it being a ‘soccer mom’ comedy, Playing The Field certainly sounds like it has a lot of potential to be good. The film is directed by Gabriele Muccino, whose credits include the Will Smith-starrers, Seven Pounds and The Pursuit of Happyness, and features [...]
Just a couple of weeks ago, we got the brilliant news that Jim Carrey and Steve Carell would be working together again, co-leading the magician comedy, Burt Wonderstone. The two both starred in Bruce Almighty (I can’t believe that came out eight years ago!), albeit with Carell in a smaller role, and then teamed up [...]
After the success of last year’s ensemble romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, which turned $50m. into more than $200m., director Gerry Marshall is returning this year for another ensemble romantic comedy, New Year’s Eve. At first, I was a little sceptical of the project, but after a surprisingly good first trailer, I became a lot more [...]
Warner Bros. have released this new ‘Special Content Trailer’ which seems to be a cross between a trailer and a featurette. As well as some new footage, we also get to see some interviews with many of the cast which is all rather extensive and includes Robert De Niro, Ashton Kutcher, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, [...]
Opinion seems to be fairly sharply divided over Colin Farrell, with some rating him highly and others dismissing him roundly. I think his excellent work in Tigerland, Minority Report and In Bruges has at times been overshadowed by some of his more incautious choices, so it will be interesting to see his take on the [...]
We had a teaser trailer for the movie last week but now Warner Bros. have released this new batch of images from their new movie, New Year’s Eve which is a follow-up, sequel of sorts to their 2010 movie, Valentine’s Day. Both are directed by Garry Marshall of Pretty Woman fame and he has used [...]
Even though I thought it was rubbish. Warner Bros. didn’t (because they look at the bottom line) and here we have the sort-of sequel to their movie, Valentine’s Day in the form of New Year’s Eve. The cast list is sort of silly as it has a gazillion a-listers in it who will (I assume) [...]
While some fims are produced under a Promethian cover of secrecy others bask in the sunlight and are in plain sight of passing film fans. Toronto is currently home to the Len Wiseman remake of the 90s Paul Verhoeven’s adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s We Can Remember it for you Wholesale, renamed then and now [...]
Casting news is ramping up for the reworking of the Paul Verhoeven/Arnie exercise in restraint and subtlety that was Total Recall. As you’ll know if you’ve been following our posts to date on the Colin Farrell-starring new version, TR 2.0 will eschew the Martian plot of the original film (and Philip K. Dick’s source novel, “We [...]
Jessica Biel (The Illusionist) and Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) have officially signed on to play the female leads, Melina and Lori respectively, in Columbia Pictures’ Total Recall remake. Biel and Beckinsale will star opposite Colin Farrell (Phonebooth), Bryan Cranston (Little Miss Sunshine) and Ethan Hawke (Before Sunset). As the nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai vie for supremacy, [...]
Another name has been added to the cast list for the remake of famed Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi actioner, Total Recall, and the actor in question represents perhaps a slightly unusual (but very welcome) presence to the film. Former Generation X heartthrob and Richard Linklater regular Ethan Hawke is down for a small, cameo part which [...]
There’s been a fair amount of casting news for the Len Wiseman directed Total Recall, a remake of the 1990 Paul Verhoeven film, with Bryan Cranston recently signing up as the villain of the piece opposite Colin Farrell. Today there’s another name to be added to the project – Jessica Biel who was recently seen [...]
Catherine Zeta-Jones (The Terminal) and Judy Greer (The Village) have been added to the cast of football comedy Playing The Field. Zeta-Jones and Greer will star opposite Gerard Butler (300), Uma Thurman (Kill Bill), Jessica Biel (The Illusionist) and Dennis Quaid (Pandorum). A former professional athlete (Butler) with a weak past tries to redeem himself by coaching his [...]
Uma Thurman (Kill Bill) and Jessica Biel (The A-Team) have signed on to star in Playing The Field. Thurman and Biel will star opposite Gerard Butler (Law Abiding Citizen) in the Robbie Fox-scripted sports film. Playing The Field centers on a troubled father and former semi-pro soccer player (Butler), who tries to make up for [...]
The invites are out and New Year’s Eve is looking to be quite the crowded party. THR is reporting that Carla Gugino (Sin City) has joined New Line’s spiritual sequel to last year’s Valentine’s Day. An ensemble that already includes Sarah Jessica Parker, Zac Efron, Hilary Swank, Ashton Kutcher, Lea Michelle and Robert De Niro, [...]
The cast for follow up Garry Marhsall’s 2009 movie, Valentine’s Day has added yet another to the ever growing list in the form of Transformers star, Josh Duhamel. By our records, that now means the cast includes Jon Bon Jovi, Seth Meyers, Til Schweiger, Zac Efron, Ashton Kutcher, Halle Berry, Sofia Vergara, Jessica Biel, Abigail [...]
Three more names have joined the already impressive ensemble for director Garry Marshall’s New Year’s Eve. Jon Bon Jovi, Seth Meyers and Inglorious Basterds star Til Schweiger join Zac Efron, Ashton Kutcher, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Abigail Breslin, Robert De Niro, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michelle Pfeiffer and Hilary Swank for the tale of a bunch [...]
