    Pretty good cast though with Bryan Cranston as Vilos Cohaagan.

    Hopefully he'll say this

    The only Arnie film I could see re-made would be running man, but the 80's cheese would most certainly be removed so there would be no point in watching it.

    What????!!! You MUST be joking.. best comeback ever! (41 seconds in) :p

    That and Predator - definitely my 2 favorite Arnie flicks. :D

    (New one looks **** btw.. Generic sci-fi actioner with lots of pretty CGI but Total Recall it isn't!)


    EDIT: And then there was the theme to the Running Man show... :p

    Brought to you by Original Film. How ironic.

    A lot of scenes in this new trailer seem to have been directly lifted from the Arnie version of Total Recall, and the plot seems to follow it pretty faithfully.
    Young man, not happy with his life, goes to Rekall to have fake memories implanted, returns home, tells his wife, only to find out that his wife's working for the bad guys and tries to kill him. He then goes on the run, being chased by his now evil bitch ex-wife, and discovers that what he thinks is/was reality is in fact a fake memory. He hooks up with a mysterious freedom fighter type chick who's helping him find out who he really is, and she and him go about taking back their lives and/or start a revolution. Only this time it's not on Mars. At one stage, one of the doctors involved in Rekall attempts to convince him that he's still sitting in a chair at Rekall, and that what he thinks is reality is actually a fake memory.

    Once again, it's a remake, so this is exactly what you would expect.

    If it was called "We can remember it for you wholesale", we might expect a version of the original short story, but in fairness, that story is really, really short, and your plot summary does not exclude the possibility that they will include the twist ending which Arnie's version left out.

    I fear even a triple breasted lady may not save this movie, but I hope I'm wrong. Looks like they have stayed very close to the original in terms of plot and even dialogue, not so keen on that and the trailer doesn't fill me with confidence either.

    That trailer was such a carbon copy of the original.

    But its only a trailer. Personally I think they are purposively selling the rehased total recall scenes to new viewers whilst at the same time to people who saw the original.

    There is a severe lack of Michael Ironside in this film.

    Yeah but they make up for it massively so with the presence of Bryan Cranston.

    dying to see this!!

    the trailer really sold it for me.

    though, trailers have sold it for me in the past only to be a collossal failure.

    i remain cautiously optimistic though!!!

    "Colin Farrell plays Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 2012 remake of Total Recall"

    The lads over at the BBC are doing a great job.

    Douglas Quaid was the definitive Schwarzenegger if you ask me

    Wiseman is an absolute hack though, so it'll probably be bland as hell.

    You assumed correctly, this movie stinks. No humour, no characters, no coherent story. Just a series of repetitive action scenes.
    Unsurprisingly seeing as her husband is the director, Kate Beckinsale survives to the very end of the movie.

    Source
    Colin Farrell has invited Katie Taylor to be the star guest at his movie premiere on Tuesday night in Dublin. Colin will be at the Savoy for “Total Recall” with Hollywood stars Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale.
    Colin extended his invitation to the whole Taylor family to attend the Premiere as his personal guests and no doubt hit the town with him later that night.

    When you think about it... it's worked out nicely that its not set on mars. With the images from the rover landing all over the internet. We all know what mars actually looks like now.

    If the effects team associated with the movie made mars look close to the original (which they probably would of gone a red mars) it would look a bit silly because of recent events.
