Jessica and Colin have supposedly grown very close while filming the remake of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1990 sci-fi hit movie Total Recall, with the American beauty – who in March broke up with pop star Justin Timberlake – thought to have fallen head over heels for the hunky Irish actor.
A source spoke to MailOnline about the developments in their relationship, saying that 29-year-old Jessica is “completely over Justin” and is “having fun being single and thinks Colin is a blast”.
It is believed the Hollywood stars have “been hanging out between takes and Colin’s suggested they go out after work”.
A friend of Jessica implied that she split with singer/actor Justin when there was no more “romance” left in their four-year relationship.
The source alleged that the 30-year-old SexyBack hitmaker “truly thought he’d found the one in Jessica and she felt the same”.
However, the insider continued that “the relationship just didn’t seem to go anywhere” as both were “working incredibly hard” and, although they “remain friendly…there’s no more romance”.
Jessica has certainly dated more than a few of her co-stars from previous films as she was spotted recently enjoying a bicycle ride with Scottish actor Gerard Butler – whom she is starring alongside in yet-to-be-released comedy-drama Playing the Field – as well as a romantic Japanese meal at a Louisiana restaurant.
Jessica was also romantically linked with Edward Norton after starring together in 2006 mystery-romance movie The Illusionist, although it now seems she is besotted with 35-year-old Dubliner Colin.

American actress Jessica Biel thinks ‘Total Recall’ was ”ripe for a remake”, although she admitted there are plenty of people who think the 1990 original should be left untouched.
Jessica Biel thinks ‘Total Recall’ was due a remake.
The 29-year-old actress is set to star alongside Colin Farrell in a modern version of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, but she admitted not everyone is happy about the film being recreated.
She told WWD.com: “It’s ripe for a remake. There are two camps, some who want a remake and some who think it should be left alone.”
Jessica is set to star as prostitute Melina – who was previously played by Rachel Ticotin – in the motion picture, which will see Kate Beckinsale take up the role of Sharon Stone’s old character Lori, with Len Wiseman directing the project.
The sci-fi movie, which is based on the book ‘We Can Remember It for You Wholesale’ by Philip K. Dick, tells the story of a construction worker Doug Quaid (Colin) who thinks he is a secret agent.
Producer Neal Moritz recently revealed the latest adaptation of the film will follow the novel more than its predecessor.
He said: “It’s closer to the book, the big different is we don’t go to space. Instead of it being a spaceship that takes us to another planet, there’s something that takes us from one side of the plane to another that’s really interesting.”

REGINA — Angela Hovland had a brush with celebrity recently and didn’t even realize it.
Hovland, an instructor at Regina’s Yoga Mala studio, didn’t notice anything unusual about her 4 p.m. class Sunday. It turns out that one of the students was actress Jessica Biel, who was in Regina to complete her scenes for the thriller The Tall Man.
“She came in with another girl and I probably wouldn’t have even noticed but one of the other girls who works here was helping her to pay and sign in,” explained Hovland. “She was the one who recognized her. She also knew that she was in town for a movie. She put two and two together and said, ‘That’s got to be her.’ After, she mentioned it to me, ‘I think that was Jessica Biel in your class.’
“Without makeup on and in yoga clothes, you don’t even think about that. I didn’t even know she was in Regina. They probably like that though, as they probably want to keep as much anonymity as they can, especially using fake names and paying in cash.”
Biel and her friend went out of their way to keep a low profile but their yoga experience gave them away.
“They said they were in town for a couple of days and would like to try yoga. They acted like they really didn’t know what they were doing but they definitely knew what they were doing,” said Hovland, who has been teaching at Yoga Mala since November. “They’re in great shape with very nice bodies, strong and muscular. They certainly looked like they’d done yoga a few times before.”
Biel apparently enjoyed her two classes on Sunday because she returned to the studio on Monday.
“She had lots of positive things to say about the class,” Hovland said. “She seemed to enjoy it.”
The Tall Man was shot in Nelson, B.C., with the principal filming completed in December. Biel is reportedly in Regina filming reshoots for the movie which is being produced by Mind’s Eye Entertainment, Cold Rock Productions, Forecast Pictures and Radar Films. Mind’s Eye Entertainment is based in Regina.
Boris Damast-helmed project set to shoot in September, ahead of Patrica Riggen-directed biopic on Baroque composer.
COLOGNE, Germany – It’s dueling violins as two biopics on legendary Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi go head-to-head, with Boris Damast’s long-in-development project set to beat Patricia Riggen’s Vivaldi out of the gate.
Damast’s Vivaldi is set to begin shooting this September in Venice, Hungary, Germany and Bruges. Claire Foy (Season of the Witch) and Max Irons (Red Riding Hood) are attached to the project, with negotiations underway with Neve Campbell, Jacqueline Bisset, Elle Fanning, Tom Wilkinson, Alfred Molina and Sebastian Koch. Celsius Entertainment has picked up the project for international sales.
Meanwhile talents including Jessica Biel, Ben Kingsley, Luke Evans and violin supremo David Garrett have been named as possible cast members for Riggen’s take on the musical genius who was also a Catholic priest.
Damast’s script for Vivaldi, co-written with Jeffrey Freedman, tells the true story of how the composer turned a group of outcasts – the illegitimate daughters of courtesans – into an orchestra that eventually played for the Pope.
The Riggen Vivaldi, which has so far received some $3 million in production subsidies from various German regional funds, focuses on the composer’s struggle between his devotion to his music and priestly vows and to the woman he loved. A date for the start of principle photography has not yet been set.

Looks like production on “The Tall Man” isn’t a 100% complete! Probably doing some re-shoots, or, just new scenes all together! Check out this article talking about it:
If you think you’ve seen Jessica Biel around Regina – you very well could have.
The actress is in the city wrapping up filming of a mystery thriller “The Tall Man”.
The movie is produced by Minds Eye Entertainment’s Kevin DeWalt, Radar Films’ Clement Miserez and SND.
Written and directed by French director Pascal Laugier, the film was primarily shot in Nelson, BC but is set to conclude production in the Canada-Saskatchewan Production Studio and in and around Regina.
Set in the town of Cold Rock, the film is a story of the haunting secrets that hide behind closed doors. Children go missing over the years with no clues or witnesses.
Locals talk of ‘the tall man’, a legendary, mysterious dark figure who takes children away never to be seen again. When a woman’s son is taken, the chase is on with a quest for answers: who is the Tall Man and what happens to the children?
The film also stars Stephen McHattie, William B. Davis, Samantha Ferris and Jodelle Ferland.
I am probably most excited for this film!
