Colin Farrell Reviews, Interviews & More
In an effort to collapse as many celebrity vocals as was humanly possible into one 3D CG film, Blue Sky has crafted Epic, which is exactly that—a self-consciously gigantic film about good vs. evil inside a forest and (because this is a children’s film) the prerequisite child/teen/target audience surrogate who is stuck in the middle.
Actress Noomi Rapace has dealt with all kinds of movies, from blockbusters to tiny independent films. Regardless of the film, she's proven to be an amazing foreign actress who's star continues to rise due to her diverse roles. Once again she's paired up with Niels Arden Oplev, director of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy, but this time on his American debut Dead...
Dead Man Down certainly is a cool little revenge thriller with a love story wrapped around it, but the intensity that the film slams on you within the first fifteen minutes flutters away. What's left is a decent love story with little sprinkles of action that feels a little too long for its run time.
If somebody harmed someone we loved, we'd go on the war path until the perpetrators got what they deserved. Okay so we can't actually take the law into our hands, but it's nice to see it unfold on the big screen. The difference between normal tales of revenge and Dead Man Down is the sweet love story in the middle of all the bloodshed. Colin Farrell is our main...
It's never fun being on the wrong side of the law, that is unless you happen to be a member of the most powerful gang in town. But then there's the moral dilemma that people don't see that's swimming through the heads of some criminals in thrillers, which is one of the many topics that's discussed in Niels Arden Oplev's new movie Dead Man Down. While Victor...
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a phenomenon publishing-wise, and the original Swedish films were big hits internationally. So it's no surprise that Noomi Rapace has been in a number of American films, and now the director of the original trilogy has come to America and directed an action film. Niels Arden Oplev has helmed Dead Man...
Who knew dognapping could be so deadly? In Seven Psychopaths, writer-director Martin McDonagh tells a twisted tale of murder, revenge and eventual redemption. On paper, it sounds like a hardcore crime drama. But it's actually a hilarious commentary on violence and a push for pacifism.
If you've been wondering why Hollywood showed a renewed interest in Colin Farrell recently, it's all because of his turn in Martin McDonagh’s 2008 film In Bruges. And if Fright Night and Total Recall disappointed, the good news is that Farrell is playing the lead in McDonagh's...
Colin Farrell gained some muscle and grabbed a gun to kick ass in Total Recall. The Irish actor has big shoes to fill in the Len Wiseman remake. The original starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and was directed by Paul Verhoeven. It's been 22 years since their adaptation of Philip K. Dick's "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" hit theaters. ScreenCrave...
This weekend, Len Wiseman takes on the sci-fi classic Total Recall. His version trades Arnold Schwarzenegger for Colin Farrell and Mars for Earthbound drama. It's visually impressive and loops in the source material (Philip K. Dick's story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale") on a need to have...
Sony Pictures is back at Comic-Con, ready to dominate with their own collection of science fiction films. One of them is a movie that most people may be familiar with and that's Total Recall. Total Recall is a remake of the 80s classic about a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell). Even though he's got a beautiful wife who he loves, a...
Well, this certainly is interesting—call me crazy, but the trailer for the upcoming Total Recall remake actually looks, well, kind of fun. Big, dumb, mindless summer movie fun, but still kind of fun nonetheless. Yes, that’s right—somehow, a Len Wiseman film looks like it may well be worth anticipating and actually watching.
Reemerging from rubble of upcoming summer movies that existed before The Avengers’ box office dominion and the premiere of the third and final The Dark Knight Rises trailer, the Total Recall remake is stumbling forth from the wreckage to remind the world that it exists, and still plans on rearing its rebooted head on August 3—this time, via a series of new action...
Perhaps you will recall that, last week, we offered you a glimpse of Len Wiseman’s Total Recall remake via the teaser for the trailer (and that’s a marketing gimmick that hasn’t gotten old yet, not at all). Now, you can check out the full trailer for this most unnecessary of remakes—it starts off as fairly intriguing, and then around the one-minute mark...
One of the most odious modern marketing trends in the world of entertainment –besides these—has been the relatively new phenomenon of the trailer for the trailer: basically, we're receiving an advertisement letting us know that an even longer and more detailed advertisement will be coming our way soon. Last week, we had to stomach the trailer for the trailer for The Twilight Saga:...
On the surface, Fright Night has a number of strikes going against it. It's a remake. It's in 3-D. The original is loved by fans and unknown to the general public - meaning that its name brand value is low, and those who love the original are probably going to be annoyed. but to make it they assembled a great cast (including Colin Farrell and Anton Yelchin), and they...
Colin Farrell has been in the spotlight so long he’s grown to accept his role, and he has developed a playful disregard for anything resembling decorum. Farrell strolled into our room wearing a button-up with only one button buttoned, giving him the causal look of someone looking for a suntan, or a Jim Morrison-esque Lizard King. He was joined by director Craig Gillespie to talk about...
Halfway between the "put the camera down and let them riff" style of Judd Apatow productions, and the "tight and visually stylized" Todd Phillips aesthetic, Horrible Bosses takes a high concept premise but then lets its actors play in this dark and funny comedy. The film stars Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudekis as men tormented by their employers, who...
The first trailer for the remake of Fright Night (and much of the early material) focused on Anton Yelchin and Colin Farrell. Yelchin plays teenager Charlie Brewster, who thinks his next door neighbor Jerry Dandridge (Farrell) is a vampire. What it didn't do is spotlight much of Evil Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) or Peter Vincent (David Tenant), two of the most...
Well, fans of remakes of really, really odd 1980s Arnold Schwarzenegger films, along with fans of really, really pretty people, have something to celebrate this morning--/Film reports that, in addition to Colin Farrell playing hero Douglas Quaid and Bryan Cranston playing the bad guy, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel have both just been announced as recent add-ons to the cast of the...
