Yay, three breasted girl in the new trailer. What is this girls name (top picture of course), I know her from other stuff but just can't think of it.

Of course, it totally makes sense to still have the three-breasted girl in the movie! In the original, the girl was a mutant; one of the people the main plot of the film concerned on the red planet itself. Bad safety regulations and poor building materials caused some poor folks to become irradiated and they began to mutate.

In the remake, Mars isn't even in the frickin film! Nah, just yank all that silly stuff, right? F those mutants! Wiseman, the shite director they have helming this turd, decided in his clearly infinite wisdom (dude's a complete jack ass), that he would rather just have the film take place on Earth so he can rip off other, more-earth bound (and infinitely better) science fiction films, like Blade Runner and Minority Report.

So, of course the three breasted girl will be there! Let me guess: some evil corporation (but hey, what other kinds are there, eh Will15??) does some sort of nefarious experiments on prostitutes or Hooter's waitresses or....meh, who cares.

This may be a bit closer to Phil Dick's original story, and I love me some PKD, but the Verhoeven flick is just so fun and over-the-top....

We've gone on holiday by mistake
Lol just watching this on ITV2 in the UK now.

What do you guys think? Is it all real? or is Quaid/Hauser really just getting a memory implant from Total Recall?

I know that this remake will totally suck ass.



I think Christopher Nolan planted it inside your head so you would think that Quad/Hauser had a memory implant, when it's all actually one big cover-up.

INCEPTION.



The movie doesn't actually exist. The government planted it in the populous' minds while we were all asleep, just to see if it can be done.

But what's the girls name in the top picture from the remake, I know that I know her from something but my brain is being a bastard and I can't think of it.



^ She is apparently called Kaitlyn Leeb. And boys, according to the director, the cinema release gets the covered breasts, and the dvd/blu-ray uncut/director's cut will get the full view, filmed a few versions of the scene apparently...



Sit Ubu Sit.... Good Dog
I looked up Kaitlyn Leeb on IMDB and I have not seen any of her movies so I must recognize her from one of her modeling things, that's so weird cause I swear I just saw her in something.



Unlike some here I've rated and liked Colin Farrell since Intermission. Not a dodgy actor at all in my humble opinion. He's just taken a lot of underwhelming roles of late.

This looks like yet another toothless, bloodless re-make, and I'll be staying at home watching Arnold sever Michael Ironside's arms in an elevator shaft.

I liked this from one review of the remake:

Total Recall's a trifling mess, as superfluous as a third breast.
Im a fan then.



Kidding aside, the trailers make it looks like a fan-made mash-up of the original, the set design of the 5th Element and the visual style of Minority Report.

Its always a little weird to have dialogue lifted word for word, as was the case for me (to a lesser extent granted)with the recent Clash of the Titans reboot.

Especially because its Ahhnuld, so when Farrel utters the line, i find myself instantly rekalling (see what i did there ) Schwarzaneggers unique delivery.

The Total Recall remake has been branded by numerous critics as humourless, lacking in originality and coherant plot, bland, embarrasing to watch, badly acted by Farrell, lacking in substance and lacking in imagination, completey witless and shouldn't be called Total Recall as it has nothing to do with the book or the original movie.
It's currently ranked at 30% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Well worth the hundreds of million of Dollars the Studios pumped into it then.

Let’s talk about the good first, as the bad is plentiful. This is Wiseman’s most technically sound film to date, bringing to the screen a gorgeously dirty future that looks equal parts Blade Runner and Tron Legacy.
He stays far away from his usual Underworld gimmicks (the 3-D, the Matrix “bullet time” effects), and seems to realize that he is crafting something…special may be too strong a word, as is important; I suppose what I’m trying to say is, when Columbia Pictures gave him a $200 million dollar budget, he probably realized this wouldn’t be his own private little disposable playground, as the Underworld series has quickly devolved into.

The actors are almost all universally bad here. Sure, John Cho (the Harold & Kumar series) appears for a few minutes as the technician at Rekall, and Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) appears to be having fun as Cohaagen, the evil ruler of the UF. After that we are left with Biel, who hasn’t appeared in a starring role in a major release in years, playing a top notch freedom fighter that seemingly can’t untie a knot without screaming for Quaid’s help and suffering a concussion.

Beckinsale plays her usual role of “beautiful woman in leather who kicks everyone’s ass for 2 hours”, chewing the scenery while her director husband shouts words of encouragement from behind the camera.

The huge problem here is Farrell. Yes, he was great in In Bruges, but how much goodwill can you continue to give a guy for one role? What we are given here is the Farrell of SWAT, a star in desperate need of charismatic support around him at all times.
Say what you will for Schwarzenegger, but at least he was fun to watch in the original. Farrell is the definition of vanilla acting; he won’t put in a horrible performance, but at certain points you are begging him to breathe life into the material. Crack a smile, develop a facial tic, appear to actually be bothered by the events going on around you, anything!

The only thing memorable about this film is that they managed to include a 3-breasted alien nude scene in a PG-13 film, giving geeky teens without the internet something to develop puberty to once this hits DVD. Other than that, it is a truly forgettable experience.
