Colin Farrell Dishes ‘Total Recall,’ ‘Fright Night’
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.
