Yes it’s true – the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger movie is being remade ready for the next generation audience. What do we think…. read on to find out.

 

 

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.

 

 

As you may already know, 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 guess what – 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.

 

 

The movie is due to hit the UK shores in August 2012 and from the trailer we are looking forward to watching Farrell try and fill Schwarzenegger’s big shoes. The action looks amazing and we are sure this could be one of the best re-boots this summer!
