It seems like the studios in Hollywood are running dry on ideas or just don’t seem to be getting any good ones as news broke today that we may be getting another remake of an already classic action movie. Apparently, we can now look forward to (or dread) a remake of the already awesome sci-fi action flick, Total Recall.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed that director Len Wiseman is in negotiations to revamp the movie although no script or a lead actor has been penned down yet. Wiseman is probably best known for writing and directing the vampire series Underworld and directed the last installment of the Die Hard franchise.
For those of you that have been deprived of seeing the original movie, it follows Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) an average guy who buys a dream version of a vacation to the planet Mars from Recall Inc., a company that sells dreams. Things go awry and Quaid finds himself in a world turned upside down where he believes assassins are out to kill him. One aspect that made the original so fun to watch was that the audience was kept guessing the entire movie amidst a barrage of gun fights and chase scenes whether it was all a delusion in Quaid’s mind or reality . The movie had some crazy special effects, a creepy dude growing out of another creepy dude’s stomach and a hot chick with not two, but three boobs. So yea, the movie was pretty sweet to begin with.
Not to bring up cliches but this kind of falls into the realm of why fix something that’s not broken? Arnold Schwarzenegger was reaching the height of his fame when Total Recall was released and cemented itself as one of the best sci-fi films of the 1990s. We’re already getting a remake of Escape From New York and a remake of RoboCop could be on the horizon.
It’s been twenty years since the movie came out and some of the special effects aren’t quite as impressive as they might have been, but that doesn’t detract from the movie. Star Wars and Beetlejuice may not be as visually impressive today as when they were first released but nonetheless remain fan favorites.
Hollywood is down the drain. it's now between childish shit, CGI fests, simple predictable as shit plot movies, and remakes. it needs to be put out of its misery and shot down.

yup first game movies then book movies then comic movies and now derpmakes
examples of great derpmake :
"[Rec]" Spanish movie to a horrible American version "Quarantine"
"Death at a Funeral" English masterpiece of dark comedy to a American "Death at a Funeral" comedy about BLACK PEOPLE
... Hadn't had time to see the original when it came out 2007 and somehow forgot about it but it's trailer made me lol again but WHAT THE FLYING FUCK is that "remake"? Omg how low can you be to even think about participating in that big POS.
I refuse to believe that every black person in america act's like those hollywood stereotyped "black brothers".. but they are really giving their best to display all black people like retarded monkeys in suits.
Even though I enjoyed the original I just hope they dont screw this one up.
It's not about screwing the original or not (assuming that they will surely do it), simply we don't need a remake of Totall Recall. Why? Because it was perfect as it was.
According to Fred Sherman (San Diego Daily) Hollywood Actor Will Smith (41) signed a contract to star in the remake of the 1972 classic "The Godfather" by Francis Ford Coppola. Paramount Pictures spokesman Leonard Glee confirmed that it was Director Brett Ratner's (X-Men 3, The Family Man) specific wish to have Smith playing the charismatic character of Don Vito Corleone.

In before Blade Runner remake with Robert Pattinson as Deckard.
Natali i would understand if they would remake "Total Recall 2070" and continue the story ark from this [the best scifi show from '99] but if they would remake the Arnold version it would be like...

Even though its far from as good as the spanish version, I thought it was quite good still.
then your the target audience for those crappy horror remakes ... next you will tell me you liked Ring better then the original Ringu or Freddy remake etc...

Actually, I think none of the Ring movies are really good. I'm more into Fulci/Argento/Romero.
