Most studios are going all out for Comic-Con and we're going to get our first look at some of 2012's biggest genre films. We'll have plenty of official releases this weekend, but until then we have photos that were snapped of the Underworld Awakening and Total Recall reboot banners:
Total Recall stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Ethan Hawke, and Bryan Cranston. The film is directed by Len Wiseman scheduled to be released on August 3, 2012.
Total Recall “involves nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai. Farrell plays Douglas Quaid, a factory worker in the latter who begins to believe he is a spy — although he doesn’t know for which side”.
Underworld Awakening will be released on January 20th, 2012 and stars Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, and India Eisley.
“Kate Beckinsale, star of the first two films, returns in her lead role as the vampire warrioress Selene, who escapes imprisonment to find herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans, and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species.” [Thanks, Collider]
