TotalLand12012 Watch Video Promo And Then Make Your Reservation With Total Recall

Out of Taiwan comes a viral promo trailer for Columbia Pictures’ Total Recall, Len Wiseman’s re-envisioning of Philip K. Dick’s “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale.” The footage looks a’ight, I guess, but it will never be the same as watching Arnold Schwarzenegger’s film of the same name.

“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.”

In theaters August 3, watch the video promo inside. READ MORE

We’ve now received a hi-res first ever look at Colin Farrell as “Douglas Quaid” in Columbia Pictures’ forthcoming Total Recall, the Len Wiseman-directed redo also starring Bryan Cranston, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bokeem Woodbine, Ethan Hawke and Bill Nighy.

“The movie is ditches the Martian storyline from the original pic and instead involves nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai, with Douglas Quaid (Farrell), a factory worker in the latter who begins to believe he is a spy — although he doesn’t know for which side.”

Columbia Pictures will release here on Earth August 3, 2012.

Cho will play McClane, the smooth-talking rep for the mind-messing company that tempts Colin Farrell’s Douglas Quaid to implant fantastic memories into his brain. Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel will play Quaid’s wife and his revolutionary girlfriend, respectively. Bryan Cranston has been cast as the futuristic villain played by Ronny Cox in the original film, and Ethan Hawke will have a small role as well. Bill Nighy, who worked with Recall‘s director Len Wiseman on the Underworld franchise, remains in talks, reportedly to play the revolutionary hero, Kuato.

Ethan Hawke (Daybreakers) is boarding Total Recall, Columbia Pictures’ Colin Farrell-starring remake of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie, reports Heat Vision. Hawke’s role is being kept secret and it is cameo in nature.

The original movie, based on the Philip K. Dick story, “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale,” followed a man haunted by a recurring dream of journeying to Mars who buys a literal dream vacation from a company called Rekall Inc., which sells implanted memories. The man comes to believe he is a secret agent and ends up on a Martian colony, where he fights to overthrow a despotic ruler controlling the production of air.

The new story ditches the Martian storyline and instead involves nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai, with Douglas Quaid (Farrell) a factory worker in the latter who begins to believe he is a spy, although he doesn’t know for which side.

The movie has been casting up ahead of its June start in Toronto with Bryan Cranston playing the villain. Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel are still in negotiations for the female leads.

The ever so sexy Kate Beckinsale (Underworld, Whiteout, Van Helsing, Vacancy) – who would be part of my own person “Total Recall” – has been offered one of the female lead roles alongside Colin Farrell in the Sony Pictures remake Total Recall, reports Deadline who adds that she’s been offered to play Lori, who was portrayed in the 1990 Paul Verhoeven-directed actioner by Sharon Stone. She was an obvious choice considering her husband Len Wiseman is directing the pic. Duh.

Both that role and the role of Melina (played in the original by Rachel Ticotin) has drawn high interest from actresses. The site adds that Eva Mendes and Rosario Dawson are the serious contenders for the latter role.

The original, based on the Philip K. Dick story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale,” follows a man haunted by a recurring dream of journeying to Mars who buys a literal dream vacation from a company called Rekall Inc., which sells implanted memories. The man comes to believe he is a secret agent and ends up on a Martian colony, where he fights to overthrow a despotic ruler controlling the production of air. Online rumors peg the redo on Earth. Gross.

After carousing a list of potential female leads, Variety is reporting that Sony Pictures may be close to landing Jessica Biel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Blade: Trinity) for one of two female leads for its Total Recall reboot.

Biel is circling a role opposite Colin Farrell in the pic. Sony has offered her the role but no discussions are underway. It’s unclear which role she would play.

In the original 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger starrer, the femme leads were played by Sharon Stone, who played Lori, and Rachel Ticotin, who played Melina.

The film follows Douglas Quaid, a man who believes he is a secret agent and ends up on a Martian colony where he fights to overthrow a ruler controlling the production of air.

There was early buzz that Biel was going for the role of Melina but sources say there’s a chance she going for the other character.

Len Wiseman will direct the latest version, with Farrell stepping into the Schwarzenegger role and Bryan Cranston attached to play the villain. James Vanderbilt penned the screenplay.

Based on a Philip K. Dick short story, the original pic was directed by Paul Verhoeven. It grossed more than $250 million at the worldwide box office.

To make things a lot harder for Blade, the vampire leadership launches a public relations “smear campaign” against Blade, letting the world of humans know that he exists, so that the police start hunting him down, thinking he is some sort of horrible monster…
