Get your ass to Mars...



Although I see nothing resembling Mars in the trailer... and now the iRobots from US Robotics got into the dream too...

I don't think Collin Farrell fills Arnie's shoes in this one, but it sure has a lot of BOOM BOOM!!

Will most definitely be seeing this on opening weekend. I can never get enough sci-fi especially considering how rarely we get it now from Hollywood.

Comment from YouTube, made me laugh as I thought the same when watching the intro:

"Ironic that Total Recall is being produced by the Original Films company."

I never read the book, was Mars part of it or just the first movie? I didn't see anything about it in the trailer at the theater either.
I think Colin will do a good job. Arnie being who he is just makes some movies unbelievable. Good for Conan the Barbarian and Terminator, not quite believable in other flicks.
They may have screwed up making the "way back machine" look so similar to the first movie though.

No, there is no travel to Mars in the original novel. ("We can Remember it for you Wholesale" by Phillip K. Dick)

Raw,

If you look on the web, google it, you will find the original article; it is only about 15 pages long in the The Philip K. Dick Reader xeroxed PDF that I found.

It amuses me immensely that this movie is supposed to be "closer to the original story." Not a chance in heck of that.

Quite believable in first Predator to, me thinks! With Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura, that was a group. Oh man, how I do miss these "old style" films...

Total Recall 2012!? Nice to have a new SF movie coming out, but must it be a TR remake? nope Maybe I´m geting to old...
