Total Recall (2012)
|
Have to check to see if this was real... not the best day to be posting movie trailers, after all.
|
I don't actually object to a remake so soon after the original one.... but to me its emblematic of the corrosion of the MPAA system and its members. There are hundreds of great properties out there but the system is in an ever-tightening spiral of milking the same properties.

Remake, what is this a remake of?
I never even heard of the original, assuming this is indeed a remake. |
Total Recall was a movie of Arnold Schwarzenegger's. Which in itself was an adaptation of a book or story (I forget which).

Philip K. Dick (short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale") (inspiration) Any sci-fi literature course will include a few PKD stories... film adaptations of other stories include Blade Runner and Minority Report. |
Oh I see, but 1990 was quite a while ago--I guess a remake's fine. :heh:
Pinatubo hasn't even exploded at the time. :eyespin: |

Meanwhile, hundreds of other possible unused properties that would be really cool languish. :eyebrow: |

why must you do this, Failywood? Ugh IP necromancy. Anyone else notice how familiar those robots looked? :twitch: |
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE--HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*sees only two hands* Damn. :heh: Now I wonder why I never heard of this. :eyespin: |
I'm not sure if I should facepalm or not.
Still I'm curious as to what they will do with it. For an action movie, the original was a bit of a mind screw since even at the end you don't know if it was all a dream or not. I wonder how many current events they will try and get in, cause if I remember right this movie would be great for a few civil liberties issues. |

I see they kept the chick fight. Good. I wonder if they will keep the artifacts on Mars?

I still have much nostalgia over the original film (especially with the... eye-popping ending :D ). Still, we'll see how they handle this remake of the story. :)
|
A remake of this movie? Already?! :twitch: I was like 10 or maybe 11 years old when I first saw that chick with 3-boobs. :D

ugh, I don't know howI feel about this. It looks somewhat promising, but there is something about the new lead that bugs me.
I'm just too connected with the original that my expectations are kind of low. I'm just getting so sick of remakes in general. |
Judging from the preview, the remake doesn't seems to have Mars included. Instead, maybe we'll be seeing some mutants, including that triple-boobie lady.

I think the remake will be ok, even though Total Recall is a classic.
