In August 2010, Arnold Schwarzenegger expressed an interest in reprising his role as Doug Quaid until October 2010, when it was officially reported The Hollywood Reporter that Colin Farrell was on the top of the short list, which included Tom Hardy and Michael Fassbender, to play Doug Quaid, the role Arnold Schwarzenegger played in the 1990 version

Ok, defense force. Hey, here's an idea. Call it "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" instead if it's more faithful to the original material!

Wholesale. I don't know, make the name shorter. Not short like John Carter, though.

Why bring up bad relations if it's nothing like the original movie?

Trying to get a new audience, when the name will ONLY resonate with people who've seen the original?

Movies that feature Mars bomb. It's the worst planet.

John Carter's Mission to the Red Planet Needs Moms.

[Hawkian]

If it is more faithful, no one is going to Mars.

Looks like it could be fun.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda

See you at the party Richter!


Damn i miss those early 90's badass movies : (

[The Take Out Bandit]

Shooting the floor is why you're pissed?

Who said anything about pissed?

I just find Wiseman to be more worthless than Paul Anderson when it comes to making movies for his wife to star in, and it results in movies less entertaining than the output of Paul Anderson and Brett Ratner combined.

His next movie should just cut to the chase:

My Wife in Hotpants the Movie

[Good Job Bob]

This new trailers for trailers thing is really absurd.

[Anticitizen One]

If they called this a "reboot" instead of a "remake" nobody would be complaining

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

They're remaking all these Verhoeven movies when they should just be throwing all the monies at Verhoeven to come back. Black Book shows he can still make good movies.

[Count Dookkake]

Verhoeven and Neuemeier should have been given TRANSFORMERS.

Probably SUPERMAN, too.

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Verhoeven and Neuemeier should have been given TRANSFORMERS. Probably SUPERMAN, too.

Only in a perfect world.

[rollingstart]

I'm just glad there're a lot of sci-fi movies this year. The potentially bad (this) and the good (Prometheus), I'll watch them all.

[Dicer]

Verhoeven and Neuemeier should have been given TRANSFORMERS. Probably SUPERMAN, too.

HE should be given EVERYTHING sci-fi....EVERYTHING

[Decado]

Agree. He has a new dutch film coming out in 2013. I'm looking forward to it.

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Sweet, I hadn't heard about it.

[plasmasd]

In a perfect world I can imagine this being remade with Arnie, Rambo 2008 style. More violence, re-orchestrate the goldsmith score, and finally more one-liners.

In that same world, a Cameron Terminator movie comes the same year. Also starring Arnold, the machines have taken to driving gas-guzzling sportcars while hunting endangered animals.

Finally, the year ends with Carpenter's opus - Escape from Earth. Kurt Russel escapes the planet alone in a ship with all its priceless treasures, leaving the rest of mankind to vaporize in a global nuclear extinction event. Arnie would also be in this movie

[Scullibundo]

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

God I love that movie.

[Boards of Canada]

Should've just called it Recall.

[Discotheque]

I'm a big fan of Colin Farrell.

But remaking a Verhoeven film is a big no no (yeah fuck that Robocop remake from the elite squad dude, those films aren't even that good). And Len Wiseman is shitty so...meh.

[Scullibundo]

I will again say that if it skews closer to PDK's material and is thus different enough from Verhoeven's and isn't in fact just a silly retread, then I will be all for it.

[sn00zer]

1) TOTAL RECALL is one of the best films of that era and is deeper than most of the allegedly cerebral sci-fi we get these days. 2) Using "mecca" incorrectly as you do makes you sound dumb.

I actually lol'd...seriously Total Recal is not a sacred cow by any means, its was a cheesy 80s sci fi action flick with some cool make up effects

[Dommo]

I'm not a fan of remakes for the sake of remakes either, but this is a more accurate adaption of Philip K. Dick's novel as opposed to a remake of the film. That makes it entirely valid. I'm game.

[Count Dookkake]

The rest of us are laughing at you, so it's okay.

History does not suggest that this will be the case, but maybe.

[G-Fex]

After finding out they're going to make Robocop look more human and give him human skin this movie no longer even looks bad at all. I'm no longer upset about this flick.

[Sent]

No...just no.

[verbatimo]

The original Total Recall was (and is) much as it seems somewhat everyday and very tangible. A lot of ugly and dirty surfaces, messy blood stains, Arnold slightly messed up and not-so-superior hero.

That teaser trailer (lol) in turn seems to be the traditional sterile modern scifi with floating holograms, the actors' faces are not pretty, and it seems that everything happens at the Apple Store.

And PG-13 rating? yeah no thanks.

[Misfits]

Looks cyberpunk rather than Mars. I haven't followed this, what's up? Time to revisit the Verhoeven movies.

kate or jessica ass?

looks too shapely to be kate's, so it must be jessica's. what an ass in any case. i'd love to bury myself in between those round, firm cheeks.

[quadriplegicjon]

Did the book have wolf and bat like monsters? I could have sworn that one of the challenges on the monster makeup show had them creating those monsters for this movie. Weren't all the aliens actually just mutants?

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

Jerry Goldsmith's score to Total Recall was such a key ingredient to what made that movie awesome. I can't wait to see what third rate hack they employed to Inception horn his way through the new movie.

[nomis]

Try not to masturbate in text form.

[BigDug13]

Hearing this news only makes me want to rewatch the original. Same as the Conan release.

[Dan]

They should've given David Cronenberg an opportunity to make the version he previously developed in the '80s.

I don't think that's how light works...

There is no Mars in this one. It's all on Earth.

[John Rabbit]

jessica biel is in this?

fuck it's even worse than i imagined.

[Zoramon089]

I just can't imagine Farrell delivering his lines as well as Arnold
"THAT GUY'S A FUCKING ASSHOLE"

[nomis]

jessica biel is in this? fuck it's even worse than i imagined.

[speculawyer]

Verhoeven and Neuemeier should have been given TRANSFORMERS. Probably SUPERMAN, too.

No, Verhoeven deserves much better scripts than such popcorn flicks. I want to see R-rated Verhoeven thrillers not PG-rated Michael Bay type dreck.

[Nappuccino]

I don't think that's how light works...

If there is something reflective behind her, maybe it could happen... but still an odd choice.

[John Rabbit]

yeah because that's why i go to the movies, to ogle women i'll never meet. because i'm 14.

[Rabid Wolverine]

See you at the party Richter! Damn i miss those early 90's badass movies : (

Me too.

Thank god for Blu-Ray.

Also: (thanx Sherdog)

Geez, Mr. Negativity.

I forgot how in the original Sharon Stone was hired for her amazing acting abilities.

[See You Next Wednesday]

Me too. Thank god for Blu-Ray. Also: (thanx Sherdog)

I literally spat out my drink laughing when I saw this.

[Teddman]

Big fan of PKD here and have to admit... skewing closer to "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" would really not be a good thing.

It's a short story that basically ends about ten minutes into the plot of Total Recall. This is one screen adaptation that far outshined the source material and expanded on it transcendently.
