Columbia Pictures has released the full new trailer for director Len Wiseman's Total Recall, hitting theaters on August 3rd and starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho and Bill Nighy.
Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. ***. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Farrell), even though he's got a beautiful wife (Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life - real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.
Compared to all the other remakes and reboots coming out, I'd say they've been pretty generous waiting this long. Still doesn't look as good as the original though.
People seem to forget Total Recall was Total Recall because of Arnie.
Stuff like:
"You blew mah covah!"
"Cmon Cahaagen, give deez peeple air!"
"Scroooo Yoooooo"
"See you at the pahtee Richtor"
"Consider that a deevorce."
"Get your *** to Mahz"
The idea to remake this without the deliveries from Arnie will doom this to obscurity.

dont know. i loved the original, because the movie left so many things making you guess whether it was real or a dream, like how he described his dream girl, and the recall computer designing Melina, or how they had a new mars hero scenario, "blue sky on mars".
i will check this out, but unless it has jessica biel or kate beckinsale titties, might not be impressed.
by the way, here is the wiki plot synopsis
Quote:
Euroamerica (formerly North America and the European Union) and New Shanghai (formerly China and South East Asia) fight for political power in the far dystopian future in the year 2084. A simple factory worker suffering from violent nightmares (Farrell) begins to suspect that he's a spy whose memory and personality were erased and replaced -- though he is unaware which side of the fight he's on and how important his lost memories will be in its outcome. What matters to him the most is that he must team up with a young female freedom fighter (Biel) in order for both of them to change the political system in their own country, Euroamerica, which is currently controlled by Euroamerican President Vilos Cohaagen (Cranston) and his government that rules with extreme austerity.

I'm going to guess that neither Biel nor Beckinsdale are going to be playing the part of three-boobages-lady, but the possibility is there for the time being.

Hollywood is pathetic. I wish I could get paid million of dollars to star in a movie to only ruin it with my revised interpretations of what is an unique character played by a one of a kind action star.
Seriously, I could do that to. Where do I sign up?

The only reason most people recall Total Recall amidst the sea of action movies was because Arnie was in it, the movie didnt take itself seriously, left the audience questioning the concepts presented in the film and overall came off as a fun popcorn flick mixed in with some very memorable oneliners.
Oh and the triple boobs and the over the top violence Paul Verhoeven is known for.
This new Recall is clearly taking itself seriously and from the trailer does come off as Bourne-ish which moves it away from the memorable installment of the past into the territory of a generic action movie that likely won't be remembered in 15 years. I'd love to be wrong but given what the trailer is showing, my conclusion seems valid.

My biggest disappointment is that it doesn't appear to take place on Mars, that was half the fun of the original for me and really helped create a unique atmosphere. I guess throwing a red filter over the last 75 minutes of the movie wasn't in the cards though.
