"TOTAL RECALL" IN THEATRES TOMORROW!

The Faces of Total Recall & Mr. Will-W. - Clockwise: Kate Beckinsale, John Cho, Bill Nighy, Bryan Cranston, Len Wiseman, Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel

The Moment has come for the most expensive Film ever made in Toronto. A Box Office success not only solidifies Toronto as a viable locale to film, but also proves that we have the Facilities and Talent to support an ambitious Venture as such.

Will you be seeing Len Wiseman's Total Recall this weekend?  I know I will. 

Watch the Trailer:

"TOTAL RECALL" TEASER TRAILER

Official Artwork for Total Recall

"You don't have the most reliable of memories, do you?".

After having filmed here in Toronto last Summer, we finally see a Teaser Trailer for the Remake of Total Recall surfacing, giving us a taste of all the exciting Action-Fantasy thrills to come. Although the scene with Colin Farrell taking-down a team of Police was shown first to attendees of San Diego Comic Con last July we get additional insights into Kate Beckinsale's Character Lori who first appears as Colin Farrell's Wife, then turning the tables telling him, "You haven't even begun to see me trying to kill you!". By the end of it all, we still don't really know what's going on with Farrell's Doug/Hauser, but are left with enough to be intrigued. Well-played, Sony Pictures.  Looks superb.

Watch the Trailer below for the most expensive Film ever made in Toronto at $250 million:

Len Wiseman's Total Recall is in theatres August 17, 2012.

We've been following the progress of this one closely including meeting some of the Cast and Director here last Summer! Click here for more.

INTERVIEW: JOHN CHO & KAL PENN ON "A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS"

John Cho & Kal Penn in Toronto - October 2011

"It's strange not sitting in a Toyota Camry this time around", Actor-turned-Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, Kal Penn tells a room of Journalists. "Wait, did you just say Cam-er-ry in three syllables?", asks Co-star John Cho. "Well, I inserted it (the extra syllable) and we can't go back!", Penn snaps back quickly. Such is the playful banter and stuff of Chemistry which has made a hit out of the Duo's $64-million grossing Stoner-Comedy franchise, Harold & Kumar. The two Actors spoke to a few Journalists on their Toronto Press Tour for upcoming A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson.

In this latest chapter, we see these two Buddies reuniting after having grown apart for a few years. Harold (Cho) has become a Family-focused Businessman, out to impress his intimidating Father-in-Law (Danny Trejo). Kumar is on the verge of being dumped by long-time Girlfriend Vanessa (Danneel Ackles) because of his underachieving ways, which often have him content at home on his couch smoking Pot. With the sudden arrival of a mysterious package at his door over the Holidays addressed to none other than Harold, Kumar is forced to get off his couch and reunite with his long-absent Friend again. One minor thing though. Accidentally, Kumar sets the treasured Christmas Tree on-fire. The same Tree which Harold was given the mandate to decorate. Together, old Friends Harold & Kumar and new - Adrian (Amir Blumenfeld) and Todd (Thomas Lennon) - go on a wild chase to find a replacement a Tree on Christmas Eve, proving ultimately that Harold is a competent Son-in-Law. Easy, right?

LEN WISEMAN & COLIN IN FARRELL IN ST. THOMAS FOR "TOTAL RECALL"

Len Wiseman in St. Thomas - July 2011

Fans in St. Thomas, Ontario got a huge treat yesterday as Director Len Wiseman brought production of his latest effort Total Recall two and a half hours southwest of the City to a Magna International Inc. plant. Filming factory scenes yesterday, most of the principal Cast were absent from the shoot, although its biggest star Colin Farrell was present. And get this - 200 Workers there won the opportunity to meet the Irish Hunk via a Lottery!

Wiseman even took time to run out to the gate to greet some Fans and sign Autographs before getting ushered back to the Set, although Farrell - who it has been noted rarely does the Fan thing while at work - did throw over a wave.

Watch the Clip below:

COLIN FARRELL IN TORONTO FOR "TOTAL RECALL"

Colin Farrell & Mr. Will-W.

As many of you already know, Colin Farrell has been in-town the past few weeks preparing for Len Wiseman's reboot of Total Recall.  With sightings reported of him around Yorkville training aggressively for his physically-demanding role as Hauser, the Irishman who just turned 35 this past Tuesday was spotted coming out of Whole Foods earlier today at Hazelton Lanes, grabbing a bit of Takeaway with a Friend. 

Meeting him for a second time (the first time back at TIFF 2009), he was kind and Fan-friendly as always to stop and pose for a couple Photos, but not before covering up with a long-sleeve French Sailor Tee when noticing Paparazzi in his wake. Coming out of the Gym, he had  worn a Tank Top, revealing  his newly-chiseled Body.  "Sorry Guys, I've got to run.  The Paps are here", he apologized as he curtailed the interaction with Fans.  He then ducked his head and headed back towards his Residence, masking his face under his Green Cap.

Just last night, Farrell enjoyed his evening at Rexall Centre in the City's west-end watching Italian Tenor Placido Domingo, in a Kick-off Concert for the Black Creek Summer Music Festival.  Audience members Tweeted quickly after noticing him arrive at the venue, sitting left of the stage.

Total Recall will be filming in-and-around Toronto, with a majority of Production taking place at newly-upgraded Pinewood Studios, up until early September.  Sightings of Co-stars Kate Beckinsale, John Cho and Ethan Hawke have been reported so stay tuned for more...

See a couple more Photos of Farrell below:

Hey Mavenati!

I'm sure you've got lots to catch-up on here with all the Posts coming in this week.  I'm going to take a couple days to catch a breather and nurse Billy who just came out of a successful Surgery earlier this evening.

Here's a bit of Toronto Gossip for you to process, while I get a moment to recover:

•  Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are in Stratford (not Toronto as some Gossip sites are stating) right now enjoying some quiet time.  So far, they've hit-up some local Ice Cream Shops, the Mall, the Park and Swiss Chalet!  How sweet!  Click here and here to see some Photos.  Gomez of course is hosting the MuchMusic Video Awards on the 19th here in Toronto.  Is it possible she might actually be in-and-around until then?

• Colin Farrell has been spotted looking incredibly sexy and filled-out around Yorkville with multiple Readers sending in their sightings.  One Reader Brienne tells me this past Sunday she saw him walk by ONE Restaurant, crossing paths unknowingly with Mark Wahlberg who was lunching in the Patio at the time.  Farrell, now filming Total Recall by Director Len Wiseman was seen posing with Fans earlier this week in a barely-there Tank Top in this Heatwave.

Mark Wahlberg & Mr. Will-W.

• Speaking of Wahlberg - whom I spotted this weekend and snapped a Photo with (see right) - Shinan Govani at the National Post delivers the scoop that the Oscar-nominated Actor is actually Condo-hunting, with his eyes set on a new Home in Toronto.  Click here to read more.

•  American Pie Alumni Jason Biggs and John Cho were both staying in the same Hotel in Yorkville recently - but did they even realize it?  Biggs appeared to be here for pleasure, celebrating his Wife Jenny Mollen's Birthday together before heading back to Atlanta.  Cho is one of the latest additions to the Cast of Total Recall and apparently is sporting some bleached Blond hair right now.
