In case you haven’t seen it yet, here is the new trailer for Sony’s Total Recall. The new version of Total Recall concerns a worker in the future, Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), who suffers from schizophrenic nightmares – suspecting that he’s actually a spy whose memories have been replaced. Rather than memories of Mars (as in prior versions of the story) however, in the new film Quaid uncovers suppressed memories pivotal to an ongoing rivalry between ‘Euroamerica’ and ‘New Shanghai’ – two fascistic, technologically advanced superstates fighting for economic control over Earth’s future.
Directed by Len Wiseman, the film opens August 3rd.

I “Recall” the original as a pretty good movie. No one chewed scenery like Sharon Stone did in the original. This version looks like a bad PG-13 remake. The trailer seems to incorporate every cliche action cut scene of the past twenty years.
I liked this movie better when it was called “The Blade Runner’s Fifth Element Matrix meets the Star Wars Fast and Furious”. It’s been said that creativity is the art of hiding your sources. Judging by the trailer this is the least creative movie ever made.
