Director Len Wiseman (Underworld) brings his talents to a new interpretation of Paul Verhoeven’s sci-fi classic, which featured Arnold Schwarzenegger in the leading role. This time around, Colin Farrell and Kate Beckinsale will be starring in this new version of ‘Total Recall,’ which premiers in theaters on August 3, 2012. What do you think of the trailer?
-Synopsis: Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.

The Trailer looks Awesome…..BUT….people should watch this movie before watching the original with Arnold….he made the original great with his Humor and as a actor he made all his movies great and unforgettable….
I feel that Colin will make this movie too serious and nothing like what Arnold did with his humor…although in this trailer, every scene was also from the original…so this version will be almost the same as the original…except for the humor…..and the new special effects…..:D
