Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, Jodie Foster To Present At Movie Awards!

Tune in for the extra dose of girl power Sunday at 9 p.m. Et!

One gal has played a vampire, another a vampire hunter and the third (and most distinguished of them all) hunted a smooth-talking killer who made up for his lack of supernatural superpowers with an overabundance of vampire-like appetite.
Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale and Jodie Foster have been added to the list of presenters at Sunday's 2012 MTV Movie Awards.
Biel, who hunted vampires alongside Ryan Reynolds and Wesley Snipes in "Blade: Trinity," will hopefully keep her slaying prowess restrained around the stars from "Twilight" and the rest of the otherworldly and sci-fi types at the celeb-packed affair. Beckinsale, of course, has top-lined most of the "Underworld" movies as a cool and action-oriented vamp. Of her many memorable roles, Foster will forever be connected with Hannibal Lector »
Beauty Break: The Best of Colin Farrell
31 May 2012 8:11 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Colin Farrell turned 36 years hot today and after a tumultuous career that saw him win major celebrity status well in advance of anyong seeing his actual Acting, he finally seems to have settled into life as a reasonably famous, reasonably scandal-free (unlike before), well employed and consistently delivering screen presence in films both big and small.
Photographed by Tom Munro
The two things he doesn't totally have yet are a reputation as a great actor (though he's certainly a good one) or a bankable star. He'll take another shot at both of those missing ingredients this year with Seven Psychopaths (which reunites him with writer/director Martin McDonagh who yanked an Oscar-nom worthy performance out of him in In Bruges) and the sci-fi remake Total Recall (in the Arnold Schwarzenegger role).
Regarding the latter, the last time the Irish actor headlined an 80s remake audiences ignored him. Will he fare better this time? »

TV Spot: Total Recall
Synopsis:
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. »

'Total Recall' trailer: The future depends on Colin Farrell
30 May 2012 11:47 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
While we may never know what is "real" and what is "Rekall," one thing is for certain, the second trailer for "Total Recall" is out, and it's very cool.
The film, which is a remake of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, features Colin Farrell as a man who may or may not be a super spy. The picture also stars Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel and Bryan Cranston.
In the video, Farrell is told, "The future depends on what you do next." It also includes lots of gun play, fights and exploding things.
The first time around, "Total Recall" was a huge hit. The Paul Verhoeven-directed film grossed more than $260 million worldwide on a production budget of $65 million.
The reboot will make its way to theaters on Aug. 3. It's directed by Len Wiseman ("Live Free or Die Hard," "Underworld"). »

Action Packed New TV Spot For Len Wiseman's Total Recall
29 May 2012 11:25 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
One thing is very clear about Len Wiseman's take on Total Recall: The man has no inclination whatsoever to capture the same sort of blue collar, gritty take on the future that dominated the world of Paul Verhoeven's original. Wiseman's version is an entirely glossier beast and - though it feels odd to say so given that the original starred Arnold Schwarzenegger - more action oriented.For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid, even though he's got a beautiful wife 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 as he finds himself on »
New TV Spot For ‘Total Recall’ Reboot!
29 May 2012 11:23 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Thn has high hopes for this remake of Paul Verhoeven and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1990 sci-fi actioner. Okay, as a director Len Wiseman may not have set the world alight but his Underworld and Die Hard efforts had their moments, albeit very few. It is a tough ask to top the previous classic, both Wiseman and star Colin Farrell have their work cut out. However, the footage we have seen so far suggests this Total Recall, could be a blast!
Below we have another TV spot for the adventure that promises to stick a lot closer to the original source material, We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, by Phillip K. Dick. The film lands in cinemas 22nd August and co-stars Bryan Cranston, Kate Beckinsale, John Cho, Jessica Biel, Bokeem Woodbine, Ethan Hawke and Bill Nighy.

29 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
There's a bunch of new footage packed into this new short TV spot for the badass looking remake of Total Recall! I can't help but love what I'm seeing from this movie. We know the story is great, it's just wrapped up in a very nice looking new package. The style and design of the movie is very cool. I love that it has a Blade Runner kind of vibe to it. The movie looks like it's going to be very entertaining, and I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Len Wiseman directed the adaptation of Philip K. Dick's novel We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, and it stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, and Bill Nighy. The movie comes out on August 3rd, 2012. Are you excited about seeing this remake? Do you think it will be better than the original?

Watch: Original 'Total Recall' and Remake Trailer Mash-Up is Great
29 May 2012 8:17 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Mash-up videos are a dime a dozen nowadays, and most of them aren't really worth featuring. But every now and then, someone just nails it to the maximum effect, and it's worth highlighting right here. Such is the case with a spectacular trailer mash-up that a few different readers have sent us which takes footage from Paul Verhoeven's original 1990 sci-film Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, but uses the audio track from the full trailer for Len Wiseman's remake starring Colin Farrell. It's a seriously awesome little edit, and some of the lines of dialogue even match-up with the scenes perfectly. Check it out below! Here's the trailer mash-up of both the original Total Recall and Len Wiseman's remake via JoBlo: Len Wiseman (Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard), is directing this Total Recall remake from a script by James Vanderbilt, Kurt Wimmer & Mark Bomback that is said »

The HeyUGuys UK DVD/Blu-Ray Release Round-Up – 28th May
28 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Last week saw the release of Alexander Payne’s Oscar-winning The Descendants and Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire, and this week brings to our shelves the other big winner at the Academy Awards three months ago, Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist, alongside (as ever) a slew of other brilliant films.
In tandem with the Universal 100th Anniversary Editions that have already started rolling out, Play begin releasing their exclusive Blu-ray Steelbooks of some of the films this week, and if you’re a fan of Universal’s recent and classic catalogue, you’ll definitely want to invest in more than a few of these, priced at a very reasonable £9.99. There’ll be more of these in the weeks and months to come, as well as non-100th Anniversary Steelbook re-releases, so keep your eyes peeled.
My personal picks of the week:

5 Things You Might Not Know About Ridley Scott's 'Alien'
25 May 2012 7:03 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The success of "Star Wars" changed everything. While "2001" had been a giant hit a decade ago, most put it down to a fluke, but George Lucas' film suddenly proved that science fiction wasn't just for B-movies, but could be a licence to print money. Every studio in town were chasing the genre, but 20th Century Fox, who had distributed "Star Wars" had a head-start: they already had another space-set script in development, "Alien," by Dan O'Bannon, Ronald Shusett, Walter Hill and David Giler. They swiftly attached new helmer Ridley Scott to the project, and production got underway in the summer of 1978.
The result, released exactly two years after "Star Wars," on May 25th, 1979 (thirty-three years ago to the day) was an enduring classic, which serves as a high watermark of the both the sci-fi and horror genres, and launched Scott's career. Next week, the director will return to where »
