'Total Recall' ready for revival

[MOVIELORD101]

Lmao. Seriously, guys? You call Kate Beckensale "Darth Sexy"? That's hillarious!

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Someone else started it actually, I forget who. lmao

 

[MOVIELORD101]

It's still funny, though.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

yeah it is. lol Can't wait for the trailer.

 

[MOVIELORD101]

yeah it is. lol Can't wait for the trailer.

Same here! Btw, I'm REALLY hoping whatever call from the REKALL viral site will lead to the official release of the footage I saw at NYCC, a la the **MOVIE phone number from the end of the Prometheus trailer.

you saw the footage at comic con last year!?! How was it? I heard it was mind blowing and most of the footage was of Kate.

Actually, it was at New York Comic-Con, NOT SDCC. But I can give you guys a description of what I remember seeing:

It started off with Doug Quaid (Colin Farrell) being told about Rekall by some dude (forgot who it was; I think it was a black guy), while showing Quaid arriving there some point later like in the movie. However, unlike the movie, the Rekall building actually has a more Asian architecture-eque look to it. After getting set up, he's placed in the machine you see in the trailer sneak peek (which, as you guys might notice, also looks a lot different that in the original film).

No sooner do the people attempting to giving him the implanted fantasy he requested find that his mind had been previously tampered with and think he's a spy, then a squad of masked soldiers in white uniforms (they're probably working for Cohagan, who we see at the end of the footage later on) bust in from out of nowhere and gun everyone down except Quad. This leads to Quaid being held at gunpoint with his hands above his head, like in this officially release photo here. Btw, just to clear things up, Quaid is awake the whole time during this sequence up to that point and does not spazz out like Arnold did in the original film. Anyway, Quaid suddenly starts kicking the soldiers' asses (a la the scene with Jason Bourne vs the two random cops in the park in the Bourne Identity), while more goons charge in and try and smoke him out with high-tec-looking frag grenades. Eventually, Quaid sets a trap for the remaining soldiers by briefly locking the room and then rigging a pile of the explosives to explode in their faces, all the while escaping through some kind of vent. The footage then concludes with a montage of stuff like the flying cars (the CGI on the cars was unfinished when I saw this at NYCC, but they look great in the trailer sneak peek), Quaid fighting his fake "wife" (played by Kate Beckensale in this version), and finally a quick exchange of dialogue between Quaid and some old-looking guy (I think it was Cohaggen, but I could be wrong) after the title logo comes up).

Overall, I though the footage was intense and a lot of fun, and I can't WAIT to see what it all looks like it tomorrow's trailer.

Nice... thats awesome. But no fight scene between Kate and Jessica??

I remember seeing Kate, but I don't remember such a fight scene. That MAY have been the fight scene I mentioned earlier, but maybe I'll remember once I see the full trailer tomorrow. I'll update the description if I'm wrong.

Cool. Gods Im excited. About freaking time Len releases a trailer!! Like...geez...maybe he was too busy, you know ahem with... eh naw. lol

Yeeeah, let's not go there, lol. He's actually a better director in that regard than Paul "Worthless ****" Anderson.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Lol sorry. I've seen jokes about that sort of thing lol on youtube. I agree with your take on Anderson. Len is a better director. I liked his work in Die Hard 4...especially the Underworld films - just first two and the new one. I hope there will be another one... with the way Awakening left off, you gotta bring back the Speedman!! lol. anyway, what other works has Len done??

 

[MOVIELORD101]

Well, he WAS gonna direct the Gears of War movie at one point....

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Gears of War?? whats that about?

 

[MOVIELORD101]

As in the video game series.....

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

ah...never played the game...lol. I hope if he does make the movie, he doesn't put Kate in it. lol cause she seriously doesn't have to be in every movie that he does and I doubt that will happen all the time. Its okay once in a while, you know...

 

[MOVIELORD101]

I second that.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

and I'd hate for Len to go the Anderson route. lol. Besides, Kate is very smart and knows well enough.

 

[Bastila]

I can't wait for tomorrow! But what coast is this game being played in east/west?

Just so I know the UK time of the trailer launch! Can't wait for the trailer and more posters etc for it!

[CapedCrusader14]

That was a bad joke.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Thats just the teaser trailer for the trailer lol...so I wasn't fooled.

 

[craigdbfan]

No April Fools joke will ever come close to what [adult swim] did tonight. /april fools forever

 

[dark_b]

well its april 1. i did what i had to do. of course in a normal time with a normal studio noone would even watch the link because we would know that no studio is stupid enough to realese the first trailer on april 1.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Yeah...I thought it was going to be released on the 2nd of April which would make more sense in a way. lol. I'd be surprised if we actually get a trailer...today.
