Bryan Cranston Gets Villainous for ‘Total Recall’
Columbia Pictures’ Total Recall just got a whole lot cooler to me as “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston is in negotiations to play the villain opposite Colin Farrell in the Len Wiseman directed sci-fi pic, scripted by Kurt Wimmer.
Michael Ironside played “Richter” in the 1990 flick.
The original, based on the Philip K. Dick story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale,” “follows a man haunted by a recurring dream of journeying to Mars who buys a literal dream vacation from a company called Rekall Inc., which sells implanted memories. The man comes to believe he is a secret agent and ends up on a Martian colony, where he fights to overthrow a despotic ruler controlling the production of air.”
Columbia hopes to have it ready for launch on August 3, 2012.

Dan Stevens and Al Pacino Starring in Exorcism Horror Movie ‘The Ritual’
Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.
Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.
Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”
Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”
David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.
XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
