Total Recall official synopsis revealed
Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. 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."
Total Recall comes to theaters August 3rd, 2012 and stars Kate Beckinsale, Bryan Cranston, Jessica Biel, Colin Farrell, Bill Nighy, Ethan Hawke, John Cho, Steve Byers. The film is directed by Len Wiseman.

I am really intrigued. I hope this ends up as good as I hope. I have the original on DVD but i've never watched it. I should probably check that one out first.

Again, like Fright Night, this remake doesn't offend me. If everyone is happy for Girl With A Dragon Tattoo to get a remake then why not this? Or maybe I just love Colin Farrell.

@moviegeek surely that would be one of the few reasonable reasons to remake something?

I don't get how people bash this movie. Some of you same people love the True Grit remake and all that movie did is what this remake is doing and that is giving a different take on the book it was based on.
