Farrell used to be one of the it dudes in Hollywood. He can still nab a decent role here and there but they're not clamoring for his ass.
I think it all changed with Alexander and Miami Vice when his star was fading. Even though he did 'The New World', he was barely in the movie.
And while he was in the excellent 'In Bruge', he didn't keep the ball rolling. And sadly that director seems to make movie every 5 years, so Collin can't count on him for critical hits.
If you look at Affleck, RDJ or good ole McConaughtey, they really had to reinvent themselves. While Collin has done supporting roles, and indie movies, he hasn't stand out like McConaughtney has with Mud or now the Dallas Buyers Club. It's about getting some buzz again, and build it up. Collin is still young enough that he can survive his Hollywood Game. Even Vin Diesel's relevant again. Anything's possible.

labyrinth was on earlier today too!!
