Total Recall trailer


We now have our first trailer for the remake of Total Recall starring Colin Farrell as a factory worker who gets far more than he expected when he goes in for an implanted virtual vacation. Kate BeckinsaleJessica BielBill NighyEthan HawkeBryan Cranston, and John Cho also star. My first reaction to a remake of my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger film was "Why remake Total Recall?" The trailer makes the film seem like a special effects heavy reimagining of the original mixing in aspects of Jason Bourne (watch Farrell disarming the cops and then staring at his gun and tell me that doesn't remind you of The Bourne Identity) mixed with the production design of I, Robot. The trailer doesn't get me off the fence about the project, but I am curious to see it. The new Total Recall hits theaters on August 3rd.
