Photos of Kate Beckinsale on the Toronto set of husband/director Len Wiseman’s upcoming remake of Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 sci-fi classic Total Recall have hit the web. The images show the 38-year-old British stunner shooting scenes inside a futuristic cop car and strutting her stuff on a highway while strapped.
Total Recall stars Colin Farrell as Doug Quaid, a factory worker who starts to believe he’s a spy when his real memories and those he purchased from an implanting company start to blur together. Beckinsale is his double-crossing wife Lori Quaid—a part memorably played by Sharon Stone in the original.
Costarring in the film are Bryan Cranston (”Breaking Bad”) as politico villain Vilos Cohaagen, Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean) as resistance leader Quatto, and the gorgeous Jessica Biel as prostitute/resistance fighter Melina.

Universal Pictures has officially launched the first trailer for director Peter Berg’s $200 million alien-invasion actioner Battleship. Loosely based on the Hasbro board game, the film stars Taylor Kitsch (Snakes on a Plane) as a hot-headed Naval officer forced to stop fucking swimsuit-model-turned-actress Brooklyn Decker to fight off seafaring extraterrestrials.
Battleship costars Liam Neeson (The Phantom Menace), Alexander Skarsgard (“True Blood”), Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer), Josh Pence (Dark Knight Rises), Jesse Plemons (“Friday Night Lights”), Peter MacNicol (“Ally McBeal”), pop singer Rhianna, and Brooklyn Decker’s big beautiful breasts. Look for it in theaters on May 18, 2012.
The two-part, four-hour miniseries tells the tale of a Mike Noonan (Brosnan), a widower who gets mixed up with an attractive young widow (George) while visiting the lakeside retreat he once shared with his wife (Gish)—whom he still sees in his dreams.
George made both her acting and nude debuts in New Line Cinema’s 1998 sci-fi mind-bender Dark City. Her first starring role came in 2005 as tormented wife Katy Lutz in the Platinum Dunes remake of The Amityville Horror.
George’s additional creds include David Slade’s 30 Days of Night, John Stockwell’s Turistas, and Christopher Smith’s acclaimed time-loop thriller Triangle. The sexy 34-year-old shelia will next be seen in Julian Gilbey’s survival frightenerA Lonely Place to Die.
Bag of Bones rolls camera next month in Nova Scotia, Canada. The film will air on A&E.
Model and Cosplay enthusiast Adrianne Curry was booted from Comic-Con this weekend for wearing a sexy Aeon Flux costume that revealed more ass than is permitted by law. The 28-year-old, five-foot-ten stunner was asked to cover up and made to change into something a little less skimpy before being allowed back into the convention.
She tweeted:
Just got stopped by a ton of cops…my costume is illegal…the butt….sigh
Curry wrapped a red tee around her tush and strolled through crowded streets back to her hotel wear she squeezed herself into a painted-on Imperial Admiral outfit before returning to the show (see the gallery below).
Curry came to fame after winning season one of the reality-competition show “America’s Next Top Model” and starring in the VH1 reality series “The Surreal Life” and “My Fair Brady,” which followed her then-marriage to “Brady Bunch” star Christopher Knight.
These days, she’s best known for tweeting sexy pics like these and these. God’s work I believe it’s called.
Universal Pictures held the world premiere for director Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens at Comic-Con last night at the San Diego Civic Theatre. Joining Favreau for the festivities were the film’s stars Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford (with wife Calista Flockhart, aka Ally McBeal), Abigail Spencer, Sam Rockwell, and sexy senorita Ana De La Regera.
Also seen at the hootenanny were geek-dream Olivia Munn, Yvonne Strahovski (“Chuck”), Nina Dobrev (“Vampire Diaries”), Seth Green with actress wife Clare Grant, Kaitlin Olson (“Always Sunny in Philadelphia”), Gillian Jacobs and Joel McHale (“Community), Candace Bailey (“Robot Chicken”) and Cowboy producers Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard.
Joe Roth, producer of Universal Pictures’ soon-to-start-shooting Snow White and the Huntsman, describes the Rupert Sanders-directed project as being a “tough, rough male and female action movie” on the scale of Lord of the Rings.
The film finds Kristen Stewart (Twilight Saga) playing Snow White as a brooding warrior-princess caught in a love triangle with two dwarfs—or something like that. I just really hope the movie isn’t so hardcore that they can’t include a scene in which cute woodland critters help Snow White put on her armor.
Snow White and the Huntsman costars Charlize Theron as the Queen, Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman, and Sam Claflin as the Prince. Images of the actors in costume were revealed at Comic-Con, but you can peep them right here:
IndieVest premiered a trailer for director Joe Lynch’s (Wrong Turn 2) new horror-comedy Knights of Badassdom at Comic-Con this weekend. The film follows a group of LARPers (Live Action Role Players) terrorized by a sexy succubus inadvertently conjured up during game play.
Knights of Badassdom stars Summer Glau (”Firefly”), Ryan Kwanten (“True Blood”), Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”), Steve Zahn (The Getaway), Danny Pudi (”Community”), and Margarita Levieva (Adventureland). Distribution for the project has yet to be announced.
Kate Beckinsale returned to Comic-Con this year in a big way. The British stunner performed double duty on Friday, promoting two of Sony’s most eagerly anticipated projects: Underworld 4: Awakening and Total Recall, a remake of the 1990 Paul Verhoeven sci-fi classic that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.
While most starlets rely on promo trailers and footage reels to whip fans into a frenzy during their panels, Beckinsale went the extra mile by showing off some serious legs in a short belted black dress and black Marcella satin pumps.
Underworld 4: Awakening will be in theaters on Jan. 20, 2012. Total Recall is slated for release in August of 2012.
Clatto favorite Rachel Nichols (Amityville Horror) made her debut at Comic-Con this year to stir up excitement for director Marcus Nispel’s upcoming Conan the Barbarian remake. The gorgeous 31-year-old joined lead Jason Momoa (“Game of Thrones”) yesterday to sign autographs for lucky-as-fuck attendees.
Nichols stars as Tamara in the revamp, a brave warrior-monk who goes toe-to-toe with costar Rose McGowan’s evil sorceress character. The film also stars Stephen Lang (Avatar), Said Taghmaoui (“LOST”), and Ron Pearlman (Hellboy).
Pierce Brosnan (Percy Jackson & the Olympians) and Annabeth Gish (pictured) are set to star in Sony Pictures Televison’s small-screen adaptation of the Stephen King bestseller “Bag of Bones.” The four-hour miniseries will air on A&E over two nights.
The synopsis reads:
Mike Noonan (Brosnan) is unable to stop grieving after the sudden death of his wife, Jo (Gish). A dream inspires him to return to the couple’s lakeside retreat in western Maine, where he becomes involved in a custody battle between the daughter of an attractive young widow and the child’s enormously wealthy grandfather while dealing with mysterious ghostly visitations, ever-escalating nightmares, and the realization that his late wife still has something to tell him.
Sci-fi fans may recognize Gish as FBI agent Monica Reyes from the eighth and ninth seasons of “The X-Files.” The 40-year-old actress also starred as the mysterious Lita on ABC’s short-lived series “FlashForward.”
Bag of Bones is directed by Mick Garris (The Fly II) from a script by Matt Venne (Mirrors 2). Production on the show is set to begin next month in Nova Scotia, Canada.
