Colin Farrell refuses to own a gun over worries it could land him in trouble if he started drinking again.

The Total Recall star's latest movie, Dead Man Down, culminates in a bloody shootout and the actor admits his gun-toting character prompted him to consider the issue of firearms ownership.

The renowned Irish actor has been sober for seven years after battling drug and alcohol abuse, but is convinced a relapse could be very dangerous if he owned a gun.

He tells Britain's Daily Mail, "I don't want one. I wouldn't trust myself to have a gun. What if I got drunk again? What if I got ...

Over fears the shoot could be disrupted by a hurricane, filming on Colin Farrell's new movie has been postponed.

The actor was expected to start filming "Winter's Tale" in New York on Monday, but film execs pushed the production back by at least one day.

Hurricane Sandy is expected to hit the area on Monday, and high winds and rain have already killed dozens of people in the Caribbean.

A Warner Bros. spokesperson confirmed to Deadline.com the production was delayed "as a precaution."

The fantasy film is set in 19th century and present-day Manhattan and revolves around a thief, a dying ...

What does one little Shih Tzu named BONNY, Seven Psychopaths and one screenwriter suffering from writer's block have in common?

Everything...At least in my favorite film of 2012 so far.

Screenwriter, Marty Faranan (Colin Farrell) is way past his deadline on his latest screenplay. If that's not enough to cause the poor dude major stress, his passive-aggressive girlfriend, Kaya (Abbie Cornish) is about to walk out on him.

Lucky for Marty, his BFF sometime actor/full time dognapper, Billy (Sam Rockwell, in a tour de force performance) is sticking by him; actually a little too much.

In fact...

Sometimes the task of getting people to flock to the movie theatres during the summer months can be tricky, as some would rather soak up the rays from the sun instead of those coming from the projector. But if the soothing sensation of a cool, dark room isn't enough to attract the audience, what is? Here's a recap of this summer's hits and misses at the box office.

The season kicked off big time with "The Avengers," which brought in a record $207.4 million during its first weekend. Performances by stars such as Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson brought life to Iron Man,...

He tells Hello! magazine, "I will say that as I get older and calmer and quieter in my own self, the one quality in a woman that I find more and more attractive is kindness. A sense of adventure and humor is important too, but I truly find kindness and ...

Colin Farrell was one of Hollywood's bad boys, dabbling in drugs and drinking to excess. Now the actor is relieved he has been able to land acting gigs despite his past indiscretions.

He recently told Men's Health magazine, "I had burned so many bridges in the film industry that I couldn't get a f- meeting. But now I'm just enjoying life... One of the big things I was drawn to about drugs was the ritual."

Farrell broke through in Hollywood in 2002 film "Minority Report" and entered rehab three years later for addition to prescription and recreational drugs. Upon his release from the facil...

Actor Colin Farrell gained 15 pounds in 11 days after driving across America to visit the best fast food haunts in the country.

Colin Farrell had no desire to imitate Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Recall performance in the upcoming remake, insisting the film "felt different enough" from the 1990 original for him to make his mark on the role.

The Irish actor has taken over the part made famous by Schwarzenegger in the new adaptation of Philip K. Dick's story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.

He appeared at Comic-Con in San Diego, California on Friday to discuss the Len Wiseman-directed film, and he is convinced movie fans will be impressed with the reboot.

Farrell says, "I didn't feel the need to fill those si...

Friday at Comic-Con brought megastars to San Diego. Columbia Pictures brought three movies each with all star casts. First was Total Recall, the remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic. Colin Farrell now plays the hero who doesn’t know whether his adventure is really happening, or is just a memory implant he paid for. Farrell joked that Schwarzenegger won’t return his calls.

“You know, he doesn’t write, he doesn’t call, he won’t even send a pigeon, nothing,” Farrell said. “His phone keeps ringing, it doesn’t go to voice mail, I don’t know what to do. He’s busy though. He’s got his own ...

Colin Farrell is about to get a little more family-friendly. The "Fright Night" star will be embracing his paternal instincts as he signs on for a rare "dad" role in "Saving Mr. Banks," according to Deadline.

Farrell joins Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson in the true behind-the-scenes story of the long, hard road to making "Mary Poppins," in which Walt Disney (Hanks) waged a 14-year courtship to persuade Australian author P.L. Travers (Thompson) to sell him the rights to her story of the beloved nanny. Travers (obviously) eventually gave in but remained prickly about it all the way to the end a...

A teenager was gunned down close to the set of Colin Farrell's latest movie Dead Man Down in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Monday.

He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Production assistant Scott Faust told local TV news station CBS Philly, "One of the officers was like, 'Your movie's called Dead Man Down, isn't it?' And I was like, 'yeah.' And he was like, 'oh ...'"

Fellow production staffer Sean Galczyk adds, "I'd say it's definite...

Colin Farrell feared he'd lose his ability to act when he quit drinking.

The star has been sober for seven years and admits he was "cooked" for much of his Hollywood breakthrough, but he worried that booze gave him the edge he needed for demanding roles - and he'd be lost without it.

The star says, "I was terrified that whatever my capacity as an actor was... however little or large it was, it would completely disappear and that I wouldn't be able to... I ascribe to the notion that to be able to express yourself in an artistic form in life you have to live in perpetual pain - and it's non...

If you are on the fence about whether a Total Recall remake is a good idea, perhaps the first full-length trailer could convince you that this is a film worth checking out.

The trailer sets up what we already know from the original: The main character Douglas Quaid (played by Colin Farrell this time around) is bored with his everyday life. When he learns about a service that implants memories, he thinks he has found a way to feel fulfilled - until a squad of troops begins shooting up the place.

In the trailer, we see Quaid "snap" and begin taking down the troops with lethality that surp...
