Exclusive: Len Wiseman Attached To Produce The New West, Jimmy Palmiotti “Couldn’t Be Happier”

10 hours ago | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

Following up on our exclusive interview with Jimmy Palmiotti and the big screen adaptation of Palmiotti and Phil Noto’s 2005 sci-fi western comic book miniseries, The New West, we have good news on the forward momentum in the development of this project.

According to THR, New Regency has picked up the project with Len Wiseman (Total Recall, Underworld) attached to produce. Benderspink, Jake Weiner, and Wizard magazine founder Gareb Shamus have been on board as producers.

We spoke with Palmiotti this weekend on this latest development and he “couldn’t be happier:”

“I just got the news this week and couldn’t be happier. Len has an amazing track record, has a great director’s eye, and is an excellent choice all around. I am excited to see what he has in store for The New West. This is great news.”

Wiseman is not attached to direct The New West at this point, »

Look For Beckinsale, Biel and Foster at the MTV Movie Awards

1 June 2012 3:37 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

It's never too late to be a presenter at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards!

Two days before the latest installment in the Golden Popcorn chronicles is set to commence, three new additions have appeared on the presenters roster: Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel and Jodie Foster, according to MTV News.

All three actresses are intimately familiar with the MTV Movie Awards, as they are all "nominee alums." Beckinsale was first nominated in 2002 for Best Female Performance for her role in Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor," which was followed by a 2004 nomination for Best Trans-Atlantic Breakthrough Performer (whoa!) for "Underworld" and a 2006 nomination for Best Hero for "Underworld: Evolution."

Jessica Biel was nominated in 2004 for Breakthrough Female Performance for her rousing scream queen act in the remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." She was also nominated in 2008 for Best Female Performance for her comedic turn in "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. »

'Leprechaun' Remake With WWE Wrestler Hornswoggle Moves Forward With New Writer

1 June 2012 10:25 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

While many would like to throw slasher films back into the very annals of film history, it comes as no surprise to horror fans that titles like “Friday the 13th” and “Nightmare on Elm Street” generate big business over countless sequels – and now remakes. The franchise of slasher films under the “Leprechaun” moniker – slasher films being probably the only genre you could comfortably group it into – has been a curious one from the start. Perhaps best known for an early career performance by Jennifer Aniston in the 1993 original, along with the always bonkers performance of “Willow” actor Warwick Davis as the titular monster, the franchise has seen the green-tinged one go from the suburbs to space and even 'Back 2 Da Hood' over six entries.

Apparently WWE Studios (yes, The World Wrestling Entertainment Studios) and Lionsgate see some sort of life left in the franchise – which saw its last few releases »

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 »

'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"). »

It’s real and not recall after all. Len Wiseman’s upcoming Underworld  Total Recall remake is coming to theaters on August 3rd. The film, based on Philip K. Dick’s “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” and a remake of the Schwarzenegger classic, stars Colin Farrell as the memory challenged Douglas Quaid, with Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, Bill Nighy and Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston rounding out the cast. Anything with Cranston immediately gets a bump in awesome, and the new TV spot, replete with what look like stormtroopers, courtesy of ComingSoon.net, is below:

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.

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 »

Dick short story "We Can Remember It For You »

Get Your Ass To Mars: New “Total Recall” TV Spot

23 May 2012 11:01 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »

For a movie with two built in audiences, Total Recall has been fairly absent from news and hype so far. Perhaps that’s about to change with the posting of a new TV spot, thanks to ComingSoon.net. I’m a huge fan of the cheesy brilliant original with Arnold, and enjoy a Philip K. Dick novel as much as the next geek (Total Recall is based on Dick’s We Can Remember It For You Wholesale), but I don’t really know what to make of this one yet. The new TV spot is fairly standard.

Len Wiseman’s (Underworld, Live Free Or Die Hard) remake comes out August 3rd, and stars Colin Farrell in the lead role, Kate Beckinsale as the femme fatale (a Wiseman standby) and the king of cool, Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), along with Jessica Biel and Bill Nighy rounding out a fairly sweet action cast. »

Watch: First Official TV Spot for Len Wiseman's 'Total Recall' Remake

23 May 2012 8:38 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

"Your memory was replaced. Your mind was implanted with a life you think you've lived. And you haven't even begun to see me try and kill you." Yea, you tell 'em, Beckinsale! Sony has released the first official 30-second TV spot hyping up another big sci-fi movie this summer, Total Recall, the remake directed by Len Wiseman starring his wife Kate Beckinsale and actor Colin Farrell as Doug Quaid. There isn't necessarily much new footage that we haven't seen before in the latest trailer, but I know a lot of people are excited for this, it looks badass, and this TV spot will keep that excitement up. What is real? What is recall? Watch the first official 30-sec TV spot for Len Wiseman's Total Recall, found via TheMovieBox: Len Wiseman (Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard), is directing this Total Recall remake from a script by James Vanderbilt, Kurt Wimmer »

The Fringe: The First TV Spot for the Total Recall Remake

23 May 2012 7:36 AM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

The Fringe is a place where non-horror genre films can get some play on Shock.  These films might be sci-fi, fantasy or action - and certainly contain some horror elements - but will likely be light on scares, or, straight-up "horror."  Still, they might be of interest to you.

Our brother site, ComingSoon.net, landed a TV spot for Len (Underworld) Wiseman's forthcoming remake of Total Recall

Opening in theaters on August 3, the action thriller stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho and Bill Nighy. The film is based on Philip K. Dick's "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale."

First TV Spot for Total Recall Starring Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel & Kate Beckinsale

23 May 2012 | The Daily BLAM! | See recent The Daily BLAM! news »

The upcoming remake from Columbia Pictures and director Len Wiseman (Underworld), which stars Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Bill Nighy, Bryan Cranston and Kate Beckinsale, is scheduled to hit theaters in August 2012. "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. »

Blu-ray Review: Mind-Numbing Franchise Continues with ‘Underworld: Awakening’

18 May 2012 11:03 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – How did we get to four “Underworld” movies? Sure, the first one is decent B-movie entertainment and there are even moments in the fourth one, “Underworld: Awakening,” recently released on Blu-ray and DVD, that find a bit of that glee but these are such products of a marketing machine. There’s nothing interesting, original, or exciting here. You watch ‘em and forget about it ‘em by the time your Blu-ray player has powered down. Don’t bother. There are better ways to spend your time.

Blu-ray Rating: 1.5/5.0

I know, I know. I’m being too harsh on a movie for which the main reason for its existence ie Kate Beckinsale in black leather. But why is “Underworld: Awakening” so boring? Anyone who’s played a video game in the last ten years has seen more inventive action and don’t get me started on the vampire/werewolf mythology and »

Blu-ray Review: Underworld Awakening

Underworld: Awakening

Review by Dan Clark of Movie Revolt

Stars: Kate Beckinsale, Michael Ealy, India Eisley, Stephen Rea, Sandrine Holt, Charles Dance | Written by Len Wiseman, John Hlavin | Directed by Måns Mårlind, Björn Stein

The Underworld series is one that just keeps going. While I enjoyed the first Underworld the inevitable sequels have been a case diminishing returns. After the ‘Rise of the Lycans’ prequel I assumed the series was done, but fret not as it returned earlier this year with Underworld: Awakening (which has hit DVD and Blu-ray in the UK this week).  This time Kate Beckinsale is back as Selene in an attempt to reenergize the franchise. In the end however this installment reeks of a lack of effort. Almost every facet is uninspired and dull. Even when an interesting idea presents itself the film refuses to explore that territory and is satisfied with just existing. The films »

Kate Beckinsale Vs. Nick Nolte & James Cromwell: The Trials Of Cate McCall

16 May 2012 4:37 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

Kate Beckinsale, star of the insanely popular Underworld movies (or most of them, at any rate), has just signed on to star in a legal drama where she plays a lawyer named Cate McCall.  This is a big stretch, playing a character whose first name has one different letter, but Ms. Beckinsale has never been one to back down from a challenging role.

The news over at Deadline is that The Trials of Cate McCall is to begin shooting soon, with screenwriter/director Karen Moncrieff at the helm.  In the film, Beckinsale will play a young hotshot attorney who threw her career down the tubes to become an addict of some sort.  I suppose we can guess it’s drugs she’s addicted to, though it could also easily be shopping, on-line gambling, chocolate, or even love, as Robert Palmer once demanded we might as well face.  It could also »

'Last Resort': Scott Speedman and Andre Braugher go nuclear in ABC's new drama

15 May 2012 4:52 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

"Last Resort" doesn't exactly seem on-brand for ABC, but the trailer for the new series sure has us intrigued.

Andre Braugher ("Men of a Certain Age") stars as the captain of a nuclear submarine who receives possibly sketchy orders to launch a strike on Pakistan. When he refuses and another U.S. warship fires on the sub, he and his executive officer (Scott Speedman, "Felicity" and "Underworld") decide to go rogue and set up camp on a sparsely populated tropical island, which suddenly becomes the world's newest nuclear-armed nation.

The trailer is tense and features some good action, but ABC Entertainment president Paul Lee also touted its "big-tent" qualities to reporters on Tuesday (May 15), saying it tested well with women and men. As for us, we're curious to see how much of a gray area Braugher's character lives in. He comes off as very principled at the beginning of the teaser, »
