TinCool

Best movie trailer ever:

^ custom shot trailers are awesome, like the Back To The Future one, its a pity they never went with the Green Mile trailer they made I thought it was cool

Got a serious 'Minority Report' vibe off it tbh... but maybe that's due to Farrell.

I like Farrell, he might be a bit of a dick in real life but he's a charismatic actor, and he was fcuking hilarious in Horrible Bosses, he's been in a few dud movies but he usually gives decent performances, I still havent seen The New World really must get round to it.

Yeah, I like him too..

.. he was even damn good in 'Fright Night, which was hugely under-rated!

I cannot possibly see how this is gonna make sense.
The main point of the original I thought was that

you just didnt know if he was dreaming or not

They are hardly going to use the same thing??

Anyway, **** you Hollywood, make an original film every now and then and I might actually go to the cinema.

Tony, the ridiculously ugly one-eyed alien stops Arnie as he's walking upstairs in the club

Tony: "You've got a lot of nerve showing your face around here"

Arnie takes a look at his mush....

Arnie: "Look who's talking!"

Classic!

Could be wrong here but i think he had another interaction with the same guy that i use in any confrontation to defuse the situation.....

"Relax.............you might live longer", is it a threat or just good health advice, who knows but it works.

He was awesome in In Bruges, his career high so far IMO

I'm assuming that this, the original and the short story are all similar up to a set point,

the memory implant

. After that, the short story goes for a comic twist, Arnie goes for the action and I'm thinking this one will be more of a thriller (playing down the action, but still, hopefully, with a triple-breasted woman in it).

Well as is the style these days, a trailer... for the trailer has been released. Though as it's the first proper look we've got at the film in action, this trailer-trailer is actually kinda useful

Certainly stylistically it seems to be channeling Bladerunner / Deus Ex more than the Futureworld of the original film. Not sure that's a good choice as it could simply make the film seem even more derivative than it already runs the risk of doing.

You think? Dunno, someone elsewhere said it looked a bit 5th Element, so I guess 'derivative' just about sums its visuals up.

Its funny you should mention that

Minority Report was originally developed to be Total Recall 2. As both movies shared similar themes/aspects/tones. Not to mention both were Phillip K. Dick short stories. This was in the 90s.

Its reported that since the character Quato in the original total recall could see into peoples minds, that the 'precogs' in Minority Report would be clairvoyant mutants. The plan was to have Douglas Quaid (Arnie) be the head of the 'Pre Crime' police agency. But the project entered development hell and eventually just was made as it was. A seperate story of its own.

Its also funny that Colin Farrell was in Minority Report ... And landed the part of the eventual Total Recall remake.

How the fudge does Farrell keep getting these big roles?

He’s the Irish equivalent of Jason Statham, I’d actually give Statham the nod over him.
Phone Booth was his only flick that he had any validity in.

Fright Night was fúcking shíte and resembled very little to the original, I barely made it to the end. The chap belongs in Fair City or some equally appalling TV drama.

To name two he was brilliant in Tigerland and In Bruges. I really think Ferrel gets a
Much harder rap then he deserves. Bar Alexander anything I have seen him
In he's been watchable.

Trailer

Looks decent enough

Oh and he does, in fact, say "If I am not me, then who the hell am I?"

MrStuffins

Looks great! Was very very scared at first but now i've seen the trailer, it looks nothing like the Arnie movie. Looking forward to it

Bullseye1

Trailer has me interested.

Mr. Loverman

Uh... trailer doesn't look great, but I'll keep an open mind. Farrell seems very camp in it.

pixelburp

Hmm, looks fairly mediocre really if I'm being honest;

Sad Professor

Looks terrible. Even worse than I thought.

Duggy747

Looks very generic, trailer didn't grab me to be honest.

Roar

looked ok, hated the shot of colin beating up all those storm troopers, looked very fake

Kiith

Looks pretty meh. But at least Bryan Cranston is in it. He might be good.

jaspertheghost

hell no!!! whats next a remake of terminator or commando....leave it alone ye feckers!!!!!

krudler

the cops/strorm troopers look like something from the Mass Effect games
