Colin Farrell Starring In Disney's SAVING MR. BANKS

Looks like Colin Farrell is going from kicking ass in the future to a family-friendly Disney drama. Deadline reports that the Total Recall star is in talks to join Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson in the new Disney film Saving Mr. Banks, which is based on the real-life events surrounding the acquisition of the rights to Mary Poppins.More

Total Recall May Get A Sequel

Screen Rant is reporting that the upcoming Total Recall remake may find itself with a sequel, granted audiences respond well to it. While speaking to producers Neal Moritz and Toby Jaffe during a recent set visit, Screen Rant asked whether the film is set to launch a franchise. Moritz and Jaffe wouldn’t give a definite answer but they did say that they’d be open to doing it and if audiences enjoy the film then a sequel or sequels, may very well become a reality. When asked if there is potential to continue the story, here’s the answer that they gave. Toby: We hope so. Neal: We hope so. We never set out to make a movie that has a sequel. Anytime we’ve maybe tried to do that, it hasn’t necessarily worked and luckily, during the Fast and Furious movies and a lot of other movies we’ve made, we’ve made a lot of sequels, and my feeling is that if the audience likes it, we’ll make a sequel. So, I mean, we’d like to. It’s a great world to be in. It’s fun. Plus when you make a sequel, audiences already know the characters, so it’s a lot easier to get a movie going. Having not seen the film yet, it’s hard to comment whether a sequel would work or not but that being said, I’ve really enjoyed all the footage that has been shown from the film thus far.Judging from the trailer and the images that we’ve seen, I love the dark and gritty future that director Len Wiseman has created. Mixed with his stylized and fast paced action, I think we’re going to get a very thrilling film. The effects and set pieces look great as well. Personally, I’m hoping that things work out for this remake and if they do, I’d be more than happy to see a sequel.Source

TOTAL RECALL SET

Colin Farrell is holding a futuristic black gun that fires energy rather than bullets. He’s standing behind a sliding white door inside a capsule that travels through the center of the Earth. Inside the room he’s trying to enter, armed Federal soldiers are guarding a valuable prisoner: Melina (Jessica Biel), one of the leaders of the underground resistance, and she’s trying to get rid of Vilos Cohaagen (the leader of the United Federation of Britain, who’s being played by Bryan Cranston). An assistant director calls action, the door slides open and Farrell comes barreling in, firing his weapon and killing three soldiers. After freeing Biel, Farrell explains that Cohaagen is lying and he’s not with him. As he pleads with her, it’s clear Biel is not sure what to believe, but she eventually embraces him with watery eyes. After a long kiss, they race out of the capsule and someone calls cut.More

Colin Farrell and Jessica Biel TOTAL RECALL Interview

Last summer, on the set of the Total Recall remake, I was able to participate in a group interview with Colin Farrell (Doug Quaid/Hauser) and Jessica Biel (Melina). Even though both had been filming part of an extended action sequence for a number of hours, they came in with big smiles and gave us a lot of time. During the interview they talked about filming the remake, the big action scenes, the violence and physicality of the film, if they wanted to include anything from the original, the futuristic gadgets they get to play with, and a lot more.MORE

Dick short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.” While on set, I spent some time in the trailer of producers Toby Jaffe and Neal Moritz who shared details on the motivation and ideas behind the upcoming re-imagining of Total Recall, differences between it and the original, and much, much more.
