The TOTAL RECALL trailer starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Biel debut Sunday on ABC during the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat game. An extended version premiered online soon after
Directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld), the new take on the Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1990 movie based on Phillip K. Dick's short story leaves out Mars from the picture. From the preview, the action takes place in a futuristic society on Earth with Colin Farrell in the role of Douglas Quaid, a factory worker who begins to suspect he is a spy for the wrong side of a cause. Kate Beckinsale plays the Sharon Stone role as Mrs. Quaid, and in the trailer you get a glimpse as they go mano-a-mano in combat. We also get to see girl-on-girl action with Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale going at it for Quaid. Fans of the original will have to wait and see if one of the best lines in the original Schwarzenegger movie "consider this is a divorce" is uttered in the remake.VIDEO: Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel at Comic Con
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), John Cho (Star Trek, Harold & Kumar), Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Ethan Hawke (Training Day) also star alongside Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale (Underworld).
TOTAL RECALL opens August 2, 2012.
More About TOTAL RECALL
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) whom 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) – there is no one Quaid can trust, except possibly a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) working for the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy). 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 film is directed by Len Wiseman. The screenplay is by Kurt Wimmer and Mark Bomback and the screen story is by Ronald Shusett & Dan O’Bannon and Jon Povill. The producers are Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe.
