“Eureka” starlet Jaime Ray Newman is set to star in Red Robin, a Michael Z. Wechsler-directed mind-control thriller about a man who manipulates people into accepting a delicious gourmet burger on their birthday.

Oh, wait. Here’s an accurate plot crunch courtesy of Variety:

A family reunion on a famed psychiatrist’s (Judd Hirsch) death bed spirals into chaos when he’s accused of using his many adopted children for the purposes of dark experiments in mind control.

Judd Hirsch? They should just call this Red Box.

Well, at least fans of the Syfy series “Eureka” will get a chance to peep Jaime Ray Newman in a new genre. The alluring 33-year-old redhead plays unconventional astrophysicist Tess Fontana on the show.

Newman also starred opposite Rebecca Romijn and Lindsay Price as an element-controlling witch with healing powers on ABC’s short-lived TV series Eastwick, an adaptation of author John Updike’s novel “The Witches of Eastwick.”

Word on the playground today is that British babe Kate Beckinsale has been offered a role in Sony Pictures remake of director Paul Verhoeven’s beloved 1990 sci-fi classic Total Recall. According to Deadline, the studio is looking to cast Beckinsale in the role of Lori Quaid.

Lori, if you recall, is wife to Doug Quaid, a man who is either a humble factory worker with a memory implant or a wanted super-spy. The part was memorably played in the original film by a then up-and-coming Sharon Stone.

The Total Recall redo is directed by Beckinsale’s lucky-dog husband—and Underworld 1-&-2 director—Len Wiseman and finds girly-man Colin Farrell stepping into Arnold Schwarzenegger’s shoes as protagonist Doug Quaid. “Breaking Bad’s” Bryan Cranston plays the film’s politico villain Vilos Cohaagen.

Eva Mendes (Ghost Rider) and Rosario Dawson (Death Proof) are said to be in the running to play Quaid’s prostitute lover Melina. No word on who is up for the part of the three-breasted mutant hooker.

Warner Bros. has released a character-driven featurette for director Chris Nolan’s upcoming mind-bender Inception. The clip introduces us to many of the film’s key players, including The Extractor, The Architect, The Point Man, The Forger, The Shade, and The Mark.

It’s a big bowl of trippy goodness. Look:

Inception stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a business man involved in a process that allows him access into people’s minds and dreams. Things get complicated, however, when a rival (Ken Watanabe) begins to blackmail him.

The film costars Ellen Page (Hard Candy), Joseph Gordan-Levitt (G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra), Cillian Murphy (Red Eye), Marion Cotillard (Big Fish), Tom Hardy (Mad Max: Fury Road), Lukas Haas (While She Was Out), Telulah Riley (”Dr. Who”), and Michael Cain (Dark Knight).

Inception arrives in theaters on July 16.

Producer Joss Whedon’s ratings-challenged, sci-fi series “Dollhouse” shut its doors for good last night with a finale entitled “Epitaph Two,” which found the characters 10 years into the future. Sadly, if not surprisingly, the episode came in 5th in the ratings, drawing 2.16 million viewers.

“Dollhouse” star Eliza Dushku told the LA Times:

I think it’s easy to point fingers at the end and play coulda/shoulda/woulda. I think initially Fox was really excited about Joss and I teaming up, and I think they were excited about the concept, even though Joss has expressed that maybe the concept that they’d thought up and the concept that he created … maybe there was a disconnect there.

We were optimistic that we would maybe have a chance to go on, but we were also realistic knowing that numbers were the way that they were. It was just a bummer because we’re aware of the fan base and the strong audience that we do have for the show and that’s what always inspired us and fueled us.

… many shows upon getting canceled … that’s it. Game over. You don’t get the chance to finish out all the stories and air all of the episodes. So, it’s a really rare thing that we were really grateful for.

“Dollhouse” starred Dushku as a programmable femme-bot created to carry out the needs of the wealthy. While Dushku often carries out my need to ejaculate into a handful of Kleenex Ultra Soft tissues, even she couldn’t get viewers to tune into the show on Friday nights, commonly known as the potter’s field of time slots.

Dushku is included on Clatto’s list of the Ten Hottest Horror/Sci-fi Babes of the Past Decade.
