Remake of Total recall
What is it with the film industry, have they ran out of ideas? Remake after flipping remake over the last 4 years or so.
Total recall was not the best film to start with the be honest, no doubt they will have all new effects, make sure that they get brand names in the film, lots of product placement.
it is sad that even the U.s film industry is dying.

Same thing with the upcoming Robocop remake, Cgi can't replace Peter Weller.
The new Total Recall will stink like every other remake has lately.
Is it not more of a reimagining of the Philip K Dick story anyway , rather than a remake of the 1990 adaptation?
True, but any half decent actor could. Robocop isn't exactly a difficult role to play.
Normally do, they just stick a load of special effects in it and think that will do.
War of the worlds was like that, the original was great, the newer version to be honest was all effects.
robocop was another film that was okish but not fantastic, so why do a remake?
LOL
Precisely. Seeing as the Arnie film was a not very good adaptation of a novel (great film, bad adaptation), a 'remake' is more than welcome.
Why do so many people think that a new version of something that's already been filmed must be a remake of the previous version? Gus Van Sant's Psycho was a remake of the Hitchcock film of the same name. Tim Burton's Planet Of The Apes was a new version of the novel, not a remake of the Charlton Heston film. Same goes with Let Me In, which got so many people's knickers in a twist for some reason.
Because at the end of the day it still follows the same story line, you look at say the newer version of War of the worlds and you know the story, aliens come to earth, kill people, aliens die because they could not cope with the bugs on earth.
Really loved this film growing up, so hopefully if done right, it could be awesome!
Ha ha
So many lines in it to quote...
"Man, I got five kids to feed!"
"I thought you had six?"
"Shit, man... I ain't even married"
"See you at the party, Richter!"
"Man, I wish I had THREE hands!"
I don't think I've watched one of these remakes yet and I don't feel the need to since I've already seen the original.
Maybe what they should do is make another version of 'We can sell you your dreams wholesale'
The essence of Dick's originaly story was severely diluted in order to fashion a big, dumb, effects-laden, crowd-pleaser, with Schwarzenegger completely miscast as the musclebound 'hero' of the piece.
I have never considered the original a classic. I don't hate it, for what it is it's reasonably enjoyable. But it is far from a successful and accurate realisation of Dick's original story.
The scene in which the Rekall executuve goes to Arnie's apartment, and tries to persuade him that he is actually in a dream showed the potential for something much more interesting.
That's what I wanted the film to be...not silly women with three boobs, various limbs being hacked off and silly pastic heads with bulging eyes.
With Len "PG-13" Wiseman at the helm, this should be a great kiddie flick for the summer holidays next year. :rolleyes:
I love the movie, classic Arnie action and quite smart for an action movie.
Wasnt there supposed to be a Total Recall 2 but it became Minority Report instead?
