After the teaser and teaser to the teaser trailer we finally get the full fat trailer for Underworld director Len Wiseman's remake of Total Recall starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel. No Mars this time but by the looks of it Wiseman hasn't skimped at all on action and this time around the production values are through the roof.
I loved the Arnie/Verhoven version but always though it looked cheaply made and didn't like one or two touches that Verhoven laid into it. The original (film, not book) was pretty grim and when you strip back to the plain story it was unforgiving to it's characters, something I think more films could do well to learn from.
Beckinsale actually looks like she could be the main hunter in this, mergin the Sharon Stone and Michael Ironside roles into one. It would definitely make things more intersting. Stone got offed too easy in the Arnie version.
I wasn't mad on the idea of FArrell, even though I do respect the guy and what he does but he's selling it to me here.
Total Recall is out in June.
