RED BAND TRAILER: Ted (NSFW)

Let me say up front that I am not a fan of Mark Wahlberg but this looks pretty bloody funny. Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy, brings his unique sense of humour to the big screen with Ted, a comedy about a man and his walking talking teddy bear. Warning, this trailer is Not Safe For Work!

Ted stars Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and Seth MacFarlane as the voice of Ted. It opens in Australia on July 12th.

Total Recall

I have to say the first trailer for the remake of Total Recall has me a little excited. It has flying cars, a big dystopian sci-fi back drop, kick ass action scenes and, did I mention, flying cars! I am a bit of a fan of director Len Wiseman, I really liked the Underworld series and I seem to be one, of about a dozen people, who actually really enjoyed Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 4.0 in Australia), so I’m onboard with this remake. Or is it a reimagining because it is based on a short story? I can never seem to get this terminology straight. Watch the trailer below.

Total Recall, based on the Philip K. Dick short story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bill Nighy and Brian Cranston. It is out in Australia on September 6th.

Hosts: David McVay, Josh Philpott & Richard Gray

Welcome to the brand new Film Actually News for April 1st (no joke!), 2012. This week Ridley Scott talks about Prometheus‘ rating, a Lone Wolf and Cub remake is on the way, Clerks 3 on stage, Anchorman 2 announced, the list directors for Captain America 2 gets shorter and James Cameron goes deep. All this and much, much more! We had a few problems with Richard’s connection this week, so apologies about the audio quality on his connection.

What used to be a boring, stuffy film section of the Film Actually podcast has been spun off into it’s own, we hope, more entertaining show. We don’t make the news, we just have fun with it. Film Actually News – Loud, Fast and Under Thirty Minutes… or your money back.
