Everything old is new again in Colin Farrell‘s world these days.  With two movie remakes – Fright Night and Total Recall – on his agenda, he might be feeling like he’s in a time warp.   He did get to experience something new last weekend, though – Colin made his virgin appearance at Comic-Con, where he promoted both of his new films.

Being that he plays a vampire in Fright Night, comparisons to Twilight were inevitable.  He was asked who he thought would win in a fight:  his character Jerry, or Edward Cullen.  Colin quipped:

“It depends on what we were fighting about. If we were fighting for a piece of meat, I would win. If we were fighting for the love of a woman, I’m afraid Cullen would have me.”

Introducing his Total Recall character Douglas Quaid, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original 1990 film, he joked:

“I play Douglas Quaid, an Austrian expat who rises to prominence in the world of bodybuilding.  It leads to a very successful career in film only to find out that it’s the perfect foundation for a career in politics.”

Colin also revealed what drew him to this project.

“I was kind of tinkering with the idea of if something of a bigger scope came along, than what I’ve been doing for the past five or six years previous, I’d be open to it.  I loved the original, and when I read this I thought it was different enough that it didn’t tread the same ground – and it could have.”

You can catch Colin in Fright Night when it opens on August 19th, but you’ll have to wait until next year for his turn in Total Recall.  A few more photos of him are after the jump.

Here’s the first trailer and poster for the upcoming horror movie remake Fright Night starring Colin Farrell.

I don’t really know how to feel about this one. On one hand it reminds me of The Lost Boys, and on the other hand it just seems like another needless money making remake. It’s not like the vampire deal is fresh anymore, it’s all too common nowadays. Seeing Colin Farrell in this kind of role will probably be one of the biggest draws for this movie, it’s certainly not like anything he’s done before. What do you think?

The long talked about Total Recall movie is finally a reality. The film is set to shoot in March 2011 and is likely to star Colin Farrell in the lead role.

What won’t be announced is that the huge state-of-the-art, waterfront studio has already landed the biggest-budget movie ever to be shot in Toronto. Total Recall, a $200 million remake of the 1990 megahit, is set to begin filming here in March.

Sources say Pinewood Toronto has signed the deal with Columbia Pictures. According toVariety, the Hollywood trade paper, Columbia has offered Colin Farrell the role made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Colin Farrell seems like a pretty good choice, but he’s nothing like Arnold. This is one of those remakes that I’m a bit confused about, but I guess with technology today it will look really cool. Unfortunately modern Hollywood execs seem too scared to try completely original scripts with lots of money. Instead opting to remake and remake movies since they are practically guaranteed to make cash.

Director Peter Weir’s new film The Way Back premiered on Wednesday night in London at the Curzon Mayfair Cinema with stars Colin Farrell, Ed Harris and Saoirse Ronan hitting the red carpet for the somber drama.

Farrell and Harris were very cool customers, giving off that laid back, confident attitude that makes women weak in the knees. Ronan is starting to come into her own, style-wise on the carpet, wearing a black and lace dress with black tights and heels.

Ronan’s role as the young woman who finds herself traveling with a group of prisoners escaped from a Siberian gulag is being noticed for Oscar potential. Harris grew very fond of Saoirse while filming and said:

‘She was so present in a cool way and really mysterious. I loved working with her. She was just 16 when we made it, I think, a little bit older than my daughter. She had a wonderful work ethic, really friendly, always in good spirits, charming, pretty.’I felt a little bit protective of her, though she didn’t really need that. We had a really nice thing. I loved just being totally simple and honest with her. She’s living and breathing in the moment and you’re able to just experience that with her.”

Check out all the photos from the premiere below. (Read the article)

Quite a roster of stars this year, I always enjoy the Golden Globes more than the oscars, much more relaxed environment. And it’s usually pretty funny.

After practically every other country got their posters for the upcoming film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, here’s the American version at long last.

It took a long time to come out, but was it really worth it? It’s cool and all but I think I may like some of the other versions better. In any case I am really looking forward to this surreal final Heath Ledger film.
