new Total Recall trailer
- Thread starter Flying Spaghetti Monster
- Start date
I'm looking foward to seeing Beckinsale and Biel go at it.
Whole movie will be worth seeing just for that.
But very few people have even heard of the original story. When the Total Recal title is mentioned people think of the Arnie movie with the extreme violence and funny one liners.
If they are going to use the original story why didn't they use the original book title?
I've never read the original story.
Few have, really. But the way you were talking here it seemed you were unaware that this movie was more of a new take on the story than it was a remake of the movie.
^ Not only does it seem that, it IS that.
I've read the story and seen the 1990 movie, and this trailer looks *much* more like a remake of that movie than a new adaptation of the short story. I don't remember a three-breasted hooker in the short story...
Simple: marketing.
But after watching that trailer, it's clear that this new movie will be more of a remake than I'd originally thought. Probably a blend of the original short story and the Schwarzenegger movie.
That is what was originally said, but, that Trailer, makes it appear to be an almost exact remake of the Arnold movie, if you simply take away the Mars element. Lines and scenes lifted directly from the Arnold movie
Wasn't that from the original?
I know I haven't seen in in many years, but my brain remembers Stone saying it.

It's remember not imagine.
No, I don't think it was in the original.
No, she didn't. That line wasn't in the 1990 film.
I'm looking foward to seeing Beckinsale and Biel go at it.
yep
A cat fight between Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale, might make this re-make watchable??
I'll give it a chance.
Verhoeven's Total Recall isn't the worst Philip K. Dick film ever, but it was pretty mediocre (and lacked the great ending of the short story). Really the only appealing thing about it is the idea that the tiresome action cheese that drives the picture just the fantasy of a brain frying itself in a chair.
This looks like it might be pretty good, but again, not holding my breath (would rather see I don't know a movie out of Ubik by let's say Linklater but you can't always have what you want).
Michel Gondry is developing Ubik, although whether he'll actually get to make it remains to be seen.
