more like too late imo

12/20/2011 9:19:21 AM

I don't know, the cast looks good. Jessica Biel as Melina, eh?

The only loss will be Michael Ironside to be honest.

12/20/2011 9:19:40 AM

Collin Farrell to be in the 'Shawshank Redemption' remake. He will be playing Andy Dufrense and Morgan Freeman will be reprising his role as "Red". Next, Farrell will be in the "Godfather" remake, playing Michael Corleone, with Denzel Washington playing "Don" Corleone.

BOOO

4/1/2012 12:43:03 PM

This is heresy. And as ^^^ said, this movie has one of the best commentary tracks of all time.

4/1/2012 12:53:36 PM

i love the first one, but I can dig this. It's one of the few remakes that hasn't totally bothered me.

4/2/2012 3:27:53 PM

Well it totally bothers me. It wouldn't if they had just called it something else.

reaction to the trailer:

Quote :

"I am often surprised at the loyalty people display towards the 1990 "Total Recall." It is a film with some great ideas embedded in it, many of which were either lifted from the Philip K. Dick short story, and some of which were created by Gary Goldman and Paul Verhoeven during the film's lengthy development process. It is also a film that is bogged down by the baggage of its star, and there is no one on Earth who is ever going to convince me that Arnold Schwarzenegger was the right guy to play that part. And as much as I adore the Verhoeven of "Robocop," I sort of hate the Verhoeven of "Recall." I think it is one of the flat-out ugliest blockbusters of the '90s, fake and garish and dated the second it was released. Looking at the trailer for the new "Total Recall," it's obvious that they started with the movie when building this remake. This is not a new adaptation of the same story, no matter what they say, because so many of the elements that we see here were created for the film. That's fine. Even the title is a nod to the fact that they are directly remaking the film. There's already one moment that they included here that plays more as it was originally intended, and that's the moment where Quaid, a normal guy with a normal life, suddenly goes into killing machine mode and destroys everyone in the room without even knowing how he did it. That moment sums up the most appealing idea in the film for me, in which a guy starts to suspect that his programming, buried beneath the personality he believes is his, is asserting itself and his real identity is starting to emerge. Colin Farrell may be a movie star, and he may be in good shape, but he's not the superhuman cartoon that Schwarzenegger was. When Colin Farrell snaps and kills everyone in the room, that's surprising. When Arnold does it, that's just Wednesday. I have not been the biggest fan of Len Wiseman's work, but I don't dislike him actively. I just think the "Underworld" films are sort of silly and forgettable. I like a lot of what we see here, and if he makes a fun, slick, smart action movie out of this, I'm excited. I think the idea still has untapped potential. I like Bryan Cranston as this movie's Ronnie Cox. I like the ladies he's cast opposite Farrell, and there's something fun about Wiseman casting his real-life wife as this awful murderous fake wife that Farrell has to fight."

4/2/2012 4:11:29 PM

^ you can give the director points for casting his wife as a "bold choice" or whatever but he was gonna do it regardless

4/2/2012 4:53:14 PM

Don't act like you wouldn't take every chance to humblebrag you were banging Kate Beckinsale either

4/2/2012 5:09:44 PM

when does humblebragging just become bragging

All credibility LOST, at least with Underworld.

yeah that vampire movie that got 31% on RT was so awesome, how dare that guy say it was silly and forgettable.

4/2/2012 8:09:50 PM

the trailer looks badass

4/2/2012 8:16:10 PM

Maybe they can make it into a musical...

this is now the official thread. because of this

7/20/2012 11:45:28 AM

I must admit, I really am looking forward to seeing this. I rewatched Arnold's Total Recall the other night, and it was a reminder of how campy it was. Curious to see how a more serious treatment of the source material will turn out. I also am quite fond of the cast they've pulled together as well.

7/20/2012 11:59:55 AM

^^YEP!

BLONDES.

7/31/2012 4:04:29 PM

Just picked up the re-release on blu-ray today.

GET YOUR ASS TO MARS!

7/31/2012 7:05:06 PM

The action starting at 1:06 of the trailer in this thread looks sick... probably a blue ridge theater movie for me.

7/31/2012 9:43:52 PM

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEW YOUUUUUUUUUUU

THE REMAKE OF TOTAL RECALL ISN'T SET ON MARS?

8/2/2012 5:35:48 PM

So in the actual TOtal Recall story, is he supposed to be in his dream or was he a bad ass irl, or is it all left up to the imagination?

8/2/2012 5:45:40 PM

You must be a real Philip K. Dick to ask a question like that.

8/2/2012 5:55:01 PM

only 29% on RT?

It's left ambiguous...

there are clues that support both viewpoints.

I always figured it was just a dream. Two things that made it seem obvious to me:

1) When he describes the female companion that he wants in his memory, it shows a picture of her. All he really says to describe her is something like "brown hair, athletic, sleezy". The computer generated a model of one and displayed it on the monitor. There are a million different girls that fit that description, yet the one he encounters on Mars looks exactly like the one the computer displayed.

2) It takes like 30 seconds for the alien device to terraform the Martian atmosphere. Extremely unrealistic.

8/3/2012 1:42:51 AM

Saw this last night -

Piece of shit. and not like its a spoiler since its been all up in this thread but yeah, no mars. There is 1 line in passing about going to mars, but thats it.


PIECE OF SHIT DO NOT PAY FOR THIS

8/3/2012 7:05:27 AM

^how is it that bad? what were you expecting?

8/3/2012 7:42:38 AM

^^ Did you like the original? I love the original, along with Arnold's other 80s movies (Running Man, Predator, et al).

8/3/2012 8:00:05 AM

The original is fun to watch, but it really a terrible movie.

http://deadspin.com/5929521/total-recall-is-a-lot-dumber-than-you-remember

8/3/2012 10:17:30 AM

I still enjoy it grealy

8/3/2012 10:21:48 AM

Yes - the original was "bad" but in a campy fun way. It has been a long time since I've seen it, but I was expecting it to be far more fun than it was. Average action scenes, bad camera work, silly changed plot and location.

8/3/2012 10:23:23 AM

I was just hoping this would be a good psychological thriller type movie
