I know that the idea of seven senior citizens retiring to a hotel in India may not appeal to everyone but I ask you all to give it a chance because The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is easily one of my favourite films of the year.

Thanks to The Film Stage, here’s the brand new first released image from the Len Wiseman directed reboot of Total Recall starring Colin Farrell and Bryan Cranston.

If you are new to the concept of Total Recall being remade then you may not be aware that the film barely resembles the original 1990 blockbuster starring the ultimate action star Arnold Schwarzenegger and set on Mars.

This one is set in the near future consisting of 2 power states, Euromerica and New Shanghai. A factory worker played by Mr Farrell begins to form the impression that he is a spy…but unsure of which side he’s on. Oh and the kicker? Nothing to do with Mars…

So you’ve got to admit that this one sounds like an adventure that could easily fit within the Jason Bourne stories, but I reserve judgement until I get to … Read More »

It looks like it’s official, according to IMDb.

Bill Nighy has joined the cast of Total Recall playing the leader of the rebellion, Kuato.

The addition of Mr Nighy to the cast lends some gravitas to the film, perhaps making up just a little bit for the creative decision not to set the film on Mars.

Bill Nighy, everyone’s favourite Davy Jones (minus all the squiggly bits), is in final talks to star in the Len Wiseman remake of Total Recall.

If negotiations are successful and Mr Nighy does indeed join the cast, he will be playing Quatto, the leader of the rebellion fighting the forces of the evil Cohaagen, played this time round by Bryan Cranston.

As we’ve written about before, there will be a few changes to the remake of Total Recall, instead of the setting it on Mars and … Read More »
