Colin Farrell To Play Quaid Sony has offered Colin Farrell the lead role in Columbia Pictures' " Total Recall " remake. Farrell received the offer last week and has since been in negotiations with Sony. He would play a man tortured by recurring dreams of a trip to Mars, a role that was played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original 1990 pic. Tom Hardy and Michael Fassbender also had been considered for the role. The "Total Recall" reboot, to be directed by Len Wiseman from a script by Kurt Wimmer, will contemporize author Philip K. Dick's source story, "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale." Farrell's casting would help contemporize the pic, offering a stark contrast to Schwarzenegger's persona.

Natalie Portman Is A Dirty Girl Natalie Portman goes sapphic with Mila Kunis in the upcoming " Black Swan ." Now she's getting her racy on in a different way.

The project, which has been passed on by several Hollywood studios, could still get made via eit

Todd McFarlane's Spawn Geared For Adults Todd McFarlane's plans to bring " Spawn " back to the animated world are still materializing, as the comic book creator recently told us that the project is undergoing various animation and technology tests through different studios. But even as certain aspects of the " Spawn " series are getting ironed out, there's one thing that McFarlane says the fans can count on: just like the last animated series that aired on HBO, this latest "Spawn" adaptation will absolutely retain its edgy status as a mature audience series. "Absolutely," McFarlane told MTV News when asked whether or not the new series would preserve the old show's dark tone. "We're gong to a cable network, and that's their bread and butter." "They want stuff that isn't what you can find on ABC, NBC and CBS," he added. "They've covered that field. We have now an area where we can a

Jon Favreau Got His Mickey Ears On Jon Favreau is in talks to direct Magic Kingdom , the Disney film with the premise that the attractions at the venerable theme park come to life. The studio set the project up nearly two years ago and got a draft by Battlestar Galactica's Ron Moore, but a new writer will be set and work on a new draft under Favreau.  Favreau will be signing a development deal, because the project will percolate while he works on other big scale studio films.

Channing Tatum To Go Undercover Channing Tatum has jumped to the top of the list for the lead of Sony Pictures's 21 Jump Street .

Steven Spielberg's Vision Of Harry Potter  "Let’s Make It Animated"   The first part of the final films for the Harry Potter franchise will be in theaters on November 19,2010.  Now  its time to bring out the promotion hype. Like this film is going to need any help selling out the first few days. I for one will not be in line to see the film. I have never been a huge Harry Potter fan since the first film came out. Speaking of the first movie, WB president Alan Horn revealed that he offered the first directing job to Steven Spielberg but Spielberg’s plans did not fit into what he was looking to turn the franchise into. Heyman sent the book to his friend and fellow Brit Lionel Wigram , a production executive at Warner Bros., to gauge the studio’s interest. Wigram said some in Burbank questioned the viability of the creaky fantasy-adventure genre and viewed the tale of a magical boarding school called Hogwarts as too British for the American heartland. “Don’t spend too
