Trailer: Total Recall

Well at least Kate Beckinsale is nicer to look at than Kuato...

Plus one point for use of Harold with blond hair and a gun.

Minus one point for not including Kumar.

Cool cool. I'm legitimately interested in seeing this. There are obviously going to be a lot of naysayers against remakes no matter what, but I think it's a really interesting premise for an action movie that's become rather laughable when people see Schwarzenegger being...well, Schwarzenegger. I think a serious remake is what this premise needs.
 
Anyway, I'm hoping Screened continues pumping out news, trailers, and reviews, along with the usual in-depth essays/articles so that I can keep this site as my primary movie resource. I was worried one of those topics might get dropped with the new direction.

This looks pretty bad.

It's in Kate Beckinsale's contract that there are so many ass shots per movie.

Definitely thought he was about to fight Blade and Agent Smith in that really badly shot crowd ass-kick scene.

Otherwise, could be alright, I guess. Like blade-runner future Bourne, but with less appealing women, and waaay more money?

Jessica Biel? No thanks.

I know it doesn't take place on Mars, but if nobody says "Get your ass to Mars" I'm flipping this tea table.

That sequence where he took down those dudes looked, weird. It's a little off-putting. But other than that, it looks like it might be decent. Or it could be awful.

@StormtrooprDave: She's married to the director and it's in his contract that there are so many shots of Kate Beckinsale's ass in all his movies.

I really think this looks pretty good, and it doesn't prevent the fantastic original from existing so I can't say I'm worried about it being terrible.

MrMazzon April 3, 2012 at 10:54 a.m.

This looks WAY to serious

Omega_Ray_Jayon April 3, 2012 at 11:01 a.m.

Not interested in the slightest.

Are you complaining? Is that complaining I hear? I think this looks fucking awesome. Hopefully it's devoid of shaky cam action, which, the vertical slice that was shown in this trailer at the very least, has me excited. Reminds me a whole lot of Matrix/HK action films that have long-as-fuck takes.

Nadafingaon April 3, 2012 at 11:02 a.m.

So, if this is more of a re-imagining of the short story rather than a remake of the movie, I'm not sure why they're calling it Total Recall. Calling it some variant of "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" would have maybe fit better.

Oh, right. Because marketing.

Whatever, looks like it could be a genuinely decent action flick.

wreckson April 3, 2012 at 11:02 a.m.

Give dese pepo some aya!

AuthenticMon April 3, 2012 at 11:06 a.m.

This looks fucking awesome.

With Len Wiseman at the helm I'm not expecting a whole lot. The art design does look kinda interesting though, even if it is derivative of other sci-fi movies.

damnitstedon April 3, 2012 at 12:27 p.m.

this could be interesting but the CG looks pretty bad especially in the fight scene

Absolutely not! I'm down for Kate Beckinsale being sexy, whether it's contractually obliged or not!

skiddon April 3, 2012 at 2:31 p.m.

Alright, BermanBraun. It appears we share an appreciation for Kate Beckinsale. This is a promising start...

snake_runneron April 3, 2012 at 2:40 p.m.

Maybe I've been playing too much Mass Effect 3, but the soldiers look like Cerberus agents to me.

You weren't the only one. But also, you weren't the only one playing too much Mass Effect.
