Jessica Biel Jets From Justin to Cancun and Talks Total Recall

Brittney Stephens — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 02:19:55 PDT

Jessica Biel joined Kate Beckinsale and Colin Farrell at a press event for Total Recall in Cancun yesterday. Jessica plays a kick-ass futuristic leader in the '90s remake, which hits theaters this Summer, while Colin's character is married to Kate on the big screen.

Jessica met up with her costars in Mexico after attending the opening of Jenni Kayne's Brentwood boutique last week. A few days before the fashionable LA appearance, Jessica wrapped up a trip to Europe with fiancé Justin Timberlake. Jessica might have been wedding dress shopping during the getaway, which also included a sweet dinner date with Justin. The couple is reportedly planning to wed this Summer, but in the meantime, Justin is staying busy with the launch of HomeMint, his latest venture with interior designer Estee Stanley.

Total Recall Trailer: Colin Farrell Is a Futuristic Fugitive

Shannon Vestal — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 14:35:10 PDT

The remake of Total Recall is heading into theaters this Summer, with Colin Farrell taking on the role of Doug Quaid (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1990 original). Set in a futuristic society, the movie follows Doug, a factory worker who decides to check out a mysterious place called Rekall to get a break from his daily life and have his fantasies implanted as memories. His little mind vacation is interrupted when a white-haired John Cho freaks out and stops the procedure, suspecting Doug as a spy. Doug is confused, and even more so when he suddenly has super-spy skills, like wasting every soldier who tries to stop him. When he gets home to his lovely wife (Kate Beckinsale), it turns out that she's also different, and trying to kill Doug too.

I'm admittedly not a huge fan of the '90s sci-fi flick, but this trailer is so action-packed that I'm interested, and the special effects look absolutely fantastic in this preview. And it certainly does not hurt that Farrell looks great kicking butt and taking names. Watch the trailer to see what you think, and get a look at the rest of the cast, which also includes Jessica Biel and Bryan Cranston after the jump.

Sandra Bullock wore a sequined All Saints mini to attend last night's amfAR Inspiration Gala at LA's Chateau Marmont. She was joined on the black carpet by industry friends like her agent, Kevin Huvane. She shared space on the photo line with other leading ladies like Selma Blair and Garcelle Beauvais, and once inside, mingled with pals like Sean Penn and Colin Farrell, who brought his sister Claudine Farrell as his date. Kevin Huvane bought a Warhol painting for Sandra's son Louis during the evening's auction portion. Sandra joked about Kevin's buying Warhol's "Peaches" print for $14,000 while onstage addressing the crowd and paying tribute to Elizabeth Taylor. Sandra said, "I want to thank Kevin Huvane and Bryan Lourd for not being cheap f-cks and gifting my son with his first Warhol."

Sandra's back on the West Coast following a recent stay in NYC, where she joined best bud Ryan Reynolds to celebrate his 35th birthday. Ryan Reynolds brought girlfriend Blake Lively along for the bash at the club The Box, but the couple have now also left the Big Apple. Blake and Ryan are in Boston together, so he can continue working on R.I.P.D. with Jeff Bridges.

Watch, Pass, or Rent Video Review: Fright Night

BuzzSugar — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 11:30:38 PDT

This weekend's vampire flick Fright Night is a remake of a popular cult hit from the '80s. If you find yourself wondering whether the new version starring Colin Farrell offers anything new, check out our video review below.

Fright Night: A Pump of Fresh Blood

Rose Curiel — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:32:16 PDT

Move over Edward Cullen - an old-school breed of vampire has returned to the big screen and his style is much more exhilarating than your PG take on bloodsucking. Rather than pine after a high school love, he’s interested in doing what vampires do best: kill. In Fright Night, Colin Farrell stars as Jerry Dandridge, a charismatic vampire who has recently moved into a suburban neighborhood in Las Vegas and begun victimizing the locals. Anton Yelchin plays Charley Brewster, a high school senior who lives next door to Jerry and suspects he might be responsible for the recent bout of disappearances in the neighborhood.

The film is a remake of a 1985 horror-comedy by the same name, and it does a great job of sinking its fangs into each genre, providing a movie that is equals parts funny and frightening. Farrell pulls off his role so well that it's easy for moviegoers to fall under his spell just as easily as his victims. To find out what else makes the film work just

Farrell nails the role of a super-seductive bloodsucker. When his eyes aren’t turned black in preparation for attack, he’s using them to flirtatiously stare at every woman on the block - the neighborhood hottie, Charley’s mom Jane (Toni Collette), and even Charley's teenage girlfriend Amy (Imogen Poots), whom Jerry unabashedly calls “ripe.” He flip flops back and forth between charmer and murderous monster, but his scenes in attack mode don’t necessarily incite huge amounts of fear. That's partly because Jerry is more of a pathological, methodical killer, who tends to lure his victims with sex appeal and relish the kill with controlled calmness. However, the special effects, which transform Farrell’s face into a terrifying creature, carrying out the task of making you jump in your seat, a feat that Jerry's hunting style lacks.

Yelchin is adequate, but overshadowed by supporting cast members, like Christopher Mintz-Plasse. He plays Charley’s former nerdy best friend, and delivers some of the film’s funniest moments, including poking fun at Twilight. David Tennant also emerges as one of the funniest characters in his role as a magician whose act revolves around pretending to be a vampire slayer. With his heavy eye-liner and leather pants, he comes off as a cross between Jack Sparrow and Russell Brand, with also provides extra laughs.

The intense chase and fight scenes between Charley and Jerry fulfill the horror side of things. Tension-filled exchanges, like when Jerry tries to determine if Charley knows he’s a vampire, and when Charley breaks into Jerry’s home to save a victim, had me biting my nails.

Regardless of how you like your vampires, Fright Night will entertain you with a steady stream of laughs and plenty of moments that are creepy (but won't give you nightmares).

Colin Farrell Talks Playing a Psycho Vampire With His Fright Night Director Craig Gillespie

Lindsay Miller — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 12:15:00 PDT

Colin Farrell clearly enjoyed playing the sexy-but-ruthless vampire Jerry in the upcoming remake of Fright Night. In fact, the actor was such a fan of the original horror movie that he watched it nearly a dozen times as a kid! We had a chance to sit down with Colin and the film's director, Craig Gillespie, at a recent press day for the project in Beverly Hills. They talked with us about some of the movie's scary stunt work and told us why Colin's character is a different sort of vampire than the ones you might see on True Blood or in the Twilight saga.
