Will Tom Hardy star in the completely unnecessary ‘Total Recall’ remake?

101021x11_hardy_b-gr_05

These are some new photos of babe Tom Hardy in Canada yesterday. Damn, he looks good enough to eat, right? I like his hair right now. I also like the hint of his awesome body through his baggy clothes. I like his lips. F-ck, I like everything about him.

Anyway, Tom Hardy is in serious demand these days. He’s the new Sam Worthington! Hopefully not – hopefully he’s even better than Worthington. Tom is lucky enough to have the eye of Christopher Nolan, and Tom is pretty much guaranteed a part in the third Nolan Batman film. The question is, who is Hardy playing? What character? No one knows. I was looking through some comic-book sites, and from what I could see, Hardy might be playing anyone from The Riddler to Clayface to Deadshot… and there are like five other possibilities. You’ve got to hand it to Nolan, he knows how to keep his sh-t tight.

Also – remember Total Recall? With Arnold Schwarzenegger? I do. I’ve seen it so many times, and it actually is a cool kind of sci-fi action film, especially with the Kuato special effects (the little guy who came out of a man’s belly). Anyway, Hollywood is remaking that sh-t, because they’ve run out of ideas and because they’re boring. And Tom Hardy is one of the actors being considered, along with Colin Farrell and Michael Fassbender (both of whom make this week’s HGF). So… something to look forward to?

    Remake of Total Recall? WTF. Hollywood is SO out of ideas it’s not even funny.
    This guy has major Doucheface BTW.

  2. Stephanie says:

    OMG I hope he’s not Robin!!! Lol

  3. bored says:

    I love him. He’s not even my type but god I’d like to accidently trip on him and have a really hard time getting up.

  4. KJ says:

    I would do despicable things to that man.

    I, too, though he had kind of a douche face until I actually saw an interview with him, which wasn’t til relatively recently. He seems very sweet and a little unstable, in a good way. He’s a phenomenal actor and I really, really hope his talents are put to use with a Riddler type character rather than some of the lamer suggestions like Killer Croc. He’s best as a mental villain, I think.

    when is hollywood’s creative void going to end?????

    anyway, hes gorge but id love to see him in a not-remake…

    sigh

    Hollywood wonders why no one is paying $$$ to go to the movies anymore? I wonder if they have HEARD of books.

  7. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz says:

    That haircut is seriously working for him. I think he’s mad attractive but for some reason I’m not feeling his casting in the new Batman movie. A Total Recall remake however works for me. Weird.

  8. Alexis says:

    Who cares, I’m just glad to see more photos of this man-god.

  9. bettie says:

    I don’t know if he will. all I know is that he’s hot!

    I second KJ’s post completely. Thought TH was meh and didn’t know what everyone saw in him…until I saw his films and a few interviews. Now I love him to bits.

    @dj6: I agree. The first thing producers should do is thumb through the book “1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die”. I’m sure they’d unearth a few stories worth adapting into movies. I’d also like to see more women writing and directing. I think that’d revitalize Hollywood by providing a fresh perspective.

    As for a Total Recall remake, after making a movie a lot of directors look back on it and say if they made it again they’d do a few things differently. So maybe if Paul
    Verhoeven had another crack at it he might be able to improve on the original. Also, special effects have come a long way since 1990, so that’d be another reason why the remake could be better.

  12. Kate says:

    Oh my God, I LOVE Total Recall.

    But it is ridiculously cheesy in that fantastic 80’s way that cannot be duplicated.

    And he is a talented actor who I worry will now be less discerning about his film roles because of his recent praise.

    Don’t be Adrien Brody, Tom!

    As much as I hate remakes, I would watch this if Tom Hardy was in it. Oh yes I would.
