  • God of War: Ascension Demo Bundled With Total Recall Blu-Ray in Europe

    The Total Recall remake may have been one of the summer’s biggest flops, but Sony is now looking to pump the movie’s video sales with one of the most anticipated PlayStation 3 games of 2013.

    Sony announced today that most European and Australian copies of Total Recall‘s Extended Director’s Cut on Blu-Ray will include access to the single player demo of God of War: Ascension. A voucher code on an insert inside the case will allow gamers to download the demo via the PlayStation Network.

    U.S. God of War fans are being left out of the deal, perhaps because Total Recall‘s box office totals there were so poor. Germany has also been excluded, but gamers in the U.K., Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, all Nordic countries, Australia, New Zealand, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Israel, Turkey, and South Africa will be able to get the demo with the Blu-Ray.

    The demo will be the one seen at this year’s E3, presumably with the bipedal elephant mini-boss. Sony stated the demo will give players a chance to experience the game’s new combat system and gameplay elements before its release in March. Gamers will have to decide whether the demo is worth over €20 and whether it’s worth the possibility of being caught owning a Blu-Ray copy of Total Recall.

  • Kaitlyn Leeb Wants You to Know She Doesn’t Have Three Breasts

    Kaitlyn Leeb might want to get used to people staring at her chest. After her turn in director Len Wiseman’s remake of the Paul Verhoeven sci-fi classic “Total Recall”, she’s probably going to get a lot of strange looks and peculiar questions. Which, I guess, is to be expected from the moviegoing masses, as most people seem to have a hard time not treating actors like their characters. As soon as they come face-to-face with an actress who had three breasts in a film they saw on the big screen, they’re immediately going to start eyeballing her cleavage.

    If you walk away from this article having learned one simple lesson, let it be this: never believe the things you see in movies. It’s a very good rule of thumb to live by, especially if you’re into motion pictures which feature women with three breasts. Although logic and common sense would dictate that Leeb doesn’t have the extra equipment, that hasn’t stopped gawkers and fans from making uncomfortable inquiries about her chest.

    “There were a bunch of people at Comic-Con asking if I had surgery for the third one. Others thought that the two on the side were real,” Leeb explained. “I guess that’s the one thing that bothers me the most is that they think I’m out there prancing around Comic-Con with my breasts out. They really are not mine.”

    Fans of B-movies and low-budget, direct-to-video cinema might be familiar with some of Leeb’s previous work. In addition to starring in the mixed martial arts prison flick “Locked Down”, she was menaced by inbred mutant hillbillies in the straight-to-DVD sequel “Wrong Turn 4”. Honestly, fending off ugly, foul-smelling weirdos in the latest installment of the “Wrong Turn” series probably helped her prepare for her stint at Comic-Con.

    “It feels amazing that you’re recognized,” the actress formerly known as Kaitlyn Wong said. “It’s surreal, the past couple of days. It’s all new and exciting.” Her’s hoping she has the same winning attitude when someone tries to investigate the truth behind her three breasts first-hand.

    Curious to see what all the fuss is about? Take a look at the image embedded below. It might not be safe for work, so tell everyone to turn their heads while you have a look-see.

  • Kate Beckinsale Was Almost 3-Boobed Woman

    Ask any guy in his 20’s or 30’s what the most memorable moment of the Schwarzenegger flick “Total Recall” was and he’s likely to tell you, “The three-boobed woman” with no hesitation. The film, which came out in 1990 and also starred Sharon Stone, was almost a rite of passage for boys of a certain age. If you hadn’t seen the triple-breasted lady, you hadn’t lived.

    When word of the remake got out, a lot of people were left wondering how much of the original film would be kept in, or at least paid homage to, and of course the infamous woman with superior mammary glands was at the top of that list. The director apparently understood the cult icon-status of the character, because she does indeed play a role in the new film, which stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Biel.

    But one thing a lot of people may not know is that Kate Beckinsale–who isn’t a stranger to showing off her body in skintight vinyl catsuits for the “Underworld” films–was almost cast as the 3-boobed hooker at the suggestion of her husband.

    “We’d had a conversation about the fact that I wasn’t available and we were both being very grown-up about it and he said, “Well, maybe, will you play the three-breasted hooker just so that you’re in the movie?”‘ she explained. “And I was like, “OK”, because it had been a very long time since I saw the movie. I’m so glad that I didn’t do that. I mean, she gets more attention than Jessica or me put together. My daughter would die. She’d be so mad at me, going into eighth grade, if I was walking around with three boobs all the time. She’d be really annoyed.”

    Eventually, the part went to Kaitlyn Leeb, who debuted her interesting look to Comic-Con fans this year to great reviews. While the film will be rated PG-13, there may be some bonus footage on the DVD not meant for younger eyes; director Len Wiseman says he shot three different versions of the 3-breasted woman just for that purpose.

  • Total Recall Poster: International Version Fails to Impress

    The international poster for director Len Wiseman’s “Total Recall” remake ranks up there with some of the worst posters ever conceived. Nothing about the piece makes you excited for the movie. Unless, of course, poorly Photoshopped images crammed into one space is enough to separate you from your hard-earned money. My interest in the film continues to drop every time new promotional material is released, and this international poster isn’t helping matters any. I guess I shouldn’t judge a movie by its poster, but damn, that thing is ugly.

    Unfamiliar with “Total Recall”? Then you probably need this synopsis:

    For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid, even though he’s got a beautiful wife who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man as he finds himself on the run from the police.

    “Total Recall” stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, Bokeem Woodbine, John Cho, and Bill Nighy. Oh, and a three-breasted alien. Can’t forget about her. Look for the film to arrive in North American theaters on August 3rd.

  • Total Recall Trailer Brings the Explosions, Three-Breasted Aliens

    (image)

    The Total Recall trailer currently making the rounds finally gives fans what they want: three-breasted aliens. Sure, we don’t actually get to see this highly-anticipated trio of mammaries in the clip embedded below, but at least you know they’re going to be in the film. What’s sad is that, when the remake was first announced, a lot of people were concerned that the infamous alien found in director Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 sci-fi actioner wouldn’t make an appearance in Len Wiseman’s reimagining. As it turns out, she’s in there. If those three boobies were the only things holding you back from taking a trip to the theater, your time sitting on the fence is over.

    If you’ve missed the official synopsis, take a look at this summary:

  • Total Recall Trailer Premieres Today: Twitter Reacts

    The widely anticipated full-length trailer for “Total Recall” premiered today and has been making the rounds across the web after fans recently got just a brief preview of what the film has in store.

    The film, which stars Colin Ferrell in the role that Arnold Schwarzengger made famous, strays a bit from the original. The scenes from Mars are gone, for one thing, which has fans a little anxious to see what other changes have been made. I, for one, am eager to see if they found a suitable replacement for the awesomeness that is the multi-bosomed lady.

    While some are willing to give it a try–as it is not necessarily a “remake” but rather an adaptation of the short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Phillip K. Dick–others see it as a big-budgeted joke which relies too heavily on CGI. And while it’s true that the effects may overshadow the story at points–one fight scene in particular looks almost like a video game–there are still some intriguing ideas here. Kate Beckinsale as the villain is sort of refreshing, as she’s always the heroine; her punchy cat-fight with Jessica Biel will have all the fanboys drooling into their Junior Mints, I’m sure. Also, the addition of Ferrell’s character as a more relatable character rather than a well-muscled killing machine (I love Arnold as much as the next guy, but he’s not exactly the boy next door) is an interesting spin, as are the darker tones of the film as opposed to the camp and one-liners (although again, much love to the original for those classics). And how about Bryan Cranston as Vilos Cohaagen?

    “Total Recall” opens on August 3rd, and it will be interesting to see if it’s a huge summer blockbuster as expected.

  • The Teaser Trailer for the Total Recall Trailer Is Live

    As the remake assembly line out of Hollywood churns along unabated, the next big remake release on the horizon–aside the Spider-Man (unnecessary) reboot–is Total Recall. Starring Colin Farrell and Kate Beckinsale, the remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger summer movie hit is set to hit the screens on August of this year, and commemorate the event, the marketing push is now underway.

    To get us ready for the movie’s trailer, Sony Pictures dropped a trailer which announces the full trailer, which debuts on April 1st on ABC during the Heat/Celtics NBA game. Considering the trailer trailer features some movie footage, I suppose we call it a teaser trailer, but the fact is, if it wasn’t advertising the April 1st trailer’s launch, would it even exist? As for the footage that was made available in the 30 second spot, well, it looks a little bit like The Fifth Element is being remade instead of the Paul Verhoeven/Schwarzenegger movie from 1990.

    For those who may not be aware of what the movie is about, Geek O System has a snippet of the press release, which should make things about as clear as mud:

    Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) whom he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston) – there is no one Quaid can trust, except possibly a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) working for the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy)….

    I just hope they keep the ultraviolence Verhoven so masterfully featured in his version of the Dick’s story.

  • Total Recall Teaser Trailer For A Full Trailer

    Ok Hollywood, it’s starting to get out of control. Teaser trailers announcing when full trailers are going to be available. Don’t get me wrong, Total Recall is a perfect movie for doing something so ridiculous. The original sci-fi classic is all about messing with peoples’ heads, so why not mess with potential movie-goers by teasing a trailer release?

    You can watch the teaser below, and if you care enough, can read my thoughts on the trailer even further down…

    Overall, there’s not much to love or hate about the trailer. I thought they created an accurate rendition of the chair everyone must sit in to experience Total Recall. The set pieces look fairly standard for a futuristic sci-fi flick. The trailer could have used more Bryan Cranston, who plays the movie’s villain, but I guess we’ll just have to wait for the full thing on April 1st.

    Here’s the synopsis of the movie as well –

    Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.

  • Jessica Biel Gets Psycho Role and Justin Timberlake

    Jessica Biel will play Vera Miles in the film Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. The movie is about Hitchcock’s directorial struggle to make the psychological thriller a masterpiece.

    The gorgeous brunette allegedly beat out several young starlets for the part.

    Yesterday we reported that Biel will stand as the woman to survive within Psycho while Scarlett Johansson will be stabbed repeatedly during the steamy shower scene. The shower segment from the 1960s release is composed of more than 90 shots seen in 70 different camera angles. It took Hitchcock and his crew an entire week to film it. The entire film took only six weeks.

    Adding to her success is her status as the future Mrs. Timberlake.

    The lovers decided to get engaged while they were on vacation in Jackson, WY.

    The couple have been off and on for years but even when they were apart Justin would say that Jessica was the most significant person in his life.

    Rumors are starting to spread that Biel doesn’t completely trust Timberlake and that they have been arguing about multiple issues including a pre-nuptial fidelity clause that would award her $500,000 if Timberlake cheats on her and the fact that she doesn’t want to have babies anytime soon.

    Regardless of the outcome, Biel has a lot more going for her than her impending engagement. Aside from Psycho she will be starring in the remake of Total Recall with Colin Farrell and Playing the Field with Gerard Butler.
