You already know, that among endless remakes we shall see a TOTAL RECALL one too. The remake of Arnold Schwarzeneger's sf flick from the 90s will be directed by Len Wiseman, and according to fresh rumors, the lead role might go to Colin Farrell. Wonder who will get the role of Sharon Stone who played the bad girl in it? The good news is that the script is being written by Kurt Wimmer the author of the amazing sf classic EQUILIBRIUM.
Young Dakota Fanning will probably take the lead role in IF I STAY, an adaptation of Gayle Forman's young adult novel, about a gifted musician and her boyfriend,
"ComingSoonNet" has published the cool concept art image of the planet Oa from the upcoming Ryan Reynolds' super hero movie GREEN LANTERN. Oa is his home, the planet where the Guardians, a small but powerful race, have existed for centuries. They are the protectors of peace and justice, a brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, and each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers.
And a huge CONGRATULATION to our dear Clarissa Draper who just signed a contract with a publisher!!! I can already smell some bestsellers in the air :)
I suspect that you perhaps want to visit or live in planet oa Dezmy :)
ReplyDeleteah when will we get rid of those zombies but the new movie idea sounds quite interesting :)
Off course, Jaccsy, you know me well :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that for once, these zombies, look interesting, it must be the historical setting :)
Stronghold sounds awesome. I'm in the mood for a good zombie + castle = massive destruction flick. I mean, you can't have enough massive destruction, can you?
ReplyDeletedoes total recall need to be remade? I don't think collin Farrel could deliver the line "Consider this a divorce" better than arnold.
ReplyDeleteholy moley that oa pic is so gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeletei'm a huge fan of dakota fanning- kid blows my mind- so, it's always good to hear of her getting more work! :)
Zombies, zombies, zombies-- well at least they're in a different setting.

Tossing It Out
Oh, young Dakota is growing up fast.

Thoughts in Progress
WOW Dakota Fanning is all grown up... she's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHey you like Equilibrium too eh Dez, I LOVE that movie, one of my guilty pleasure. The ending needs improvement but Bale is awesome in this movie.
bleah, zombies. But no! I haven't had a chance to read If I Stay yet... must get busy~ :o)
ReplyDeleteStronghold sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteStill not excited about the Total Recall remake though. Nothing wrong with the original and it's only twenty years old.
@Mesmerix
ReplyDeleteyep, the castle setting gives it a certain charm :)
@Budd
ah, that was a jolly good line!
@Vics
isn't it? I hope it will be even more beautiful in the film itself
@Arlee
ReplyDeletemy point exactly :)
@Masy
she's a big girl now
@Flixy
yes, if you remember, in my post, previously this year, about my favourite films of all times, EQUILIBRIUM was mentioned as well. It was a very successful mix of thoughtful drama, satirical SF and mindblowing blockbuster. I love such innovative films which give a social study wrapped in stunning visuals.
@Leigh
ReplyDeleteor maybe you should wait for the movie and watch it first :)))
@Alex
well, the lack of excitement should go to all of the remakes. Remakes are for people without imagination.
shocked to find about a Total Recall remake, can see Colin Farell playing in lead role well though. Looking forward to Green Lantern
ReplyDeleteDon't be shocked, Dempsy, you know new remakes are appearing almost every day in Hollywood these days.
ReplyDeleteJust want to say:
ReplyDeleteWelsh zombies! WHOO! This sounds potentially awesome and potentially hilarious at the same time, so either way I'm looking forward to seeing Stronghold.
ah, yes, didn't think you would notice the Welsh detail :))) Wales is actually my absolute favourite part of Britain, and off course I bow everyday to her royal majesty, Welsh queen Catherine Zeta Jones :))
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dez! I've been so busy reading blogs I haven't come here until now! Well, I hope you like the book when it comes out, it could be a while yet.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I will watch whatever Colin's in because he's super cute!
Thanks for all your support!
Clarissa
The Total Recall remake makes me feel old. I remember it was so cutting edge in the 90's.
ReplyDeleteDEZMOND - I like Dakota Fanning. The Green Lantern pic is amazing. Ryan Reynolds. Um, YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet of you to mention Clarissa getting her publisher. Congrats to her.
@Clarissa
ReplyDeletenow you have a year to edit your future bestseller :) We shall be watching you close :)))
@Medeia
oh, you are right, it does make us feel old :(((
@Shells
