Total Recall?

wuss.

Anyway, there's an audiobook of Keir Dullea reading "Minority Report and other stories" floating around on the torrent networks. It's pretty good.

I just don't have much of a vested interest in riling up kenan.

Just you wait, my young apprentice, someday the feeling will begin to boil up within you.

remake time : (

Colin Farrell’s comeback blockbuster, the remake of 1990 flick Total Recall, will have a reported budget of $200 million, reports The Toronto Star.

The flick will shoot in Toronto from March, with Underworld and Die Hard 4 helmer Len Wiseman calling the shots. Farrell bagged the part after other actors, Michael Fassbender and Tom Hardy were also mooted for the lead. Farrell was apparently Wiseman’s choice all along, and the studio eventually offered the Dubliner the part a couple of months ago.

That is a huge budget, even by blockbuster standards. Wiseman is a capable director, but he never really showed what he could do with the last Die Hard. Apparently, according to some reports anyway, Bruce Willis ran that set. Farrell has been doing brilliant work for the past few years, hopefully this continues the trend.

fuck hollywood forever

won't happen

was reading today about a proposed adaptation of geoff darrow's shaolin cowboy (animated, to be directed by darrow), and i thought, "won't happen, not in a million years." this, on the other hand, i'm prepared to believe. it shits my head to think of it, but i can see as how the money people might smile.

colin farrell can't star in a 200 million remake of a beloved arnold film

it is against the laws of the universe

Need to get Wikileaks and 4chan on this to shut this shit down.

So gonna happen

Uses cgi city recycled from batman trufact.

Think my weirdest one was recognising somebody I was at school with in the dole office from behind. Must have been somewhere between 5 + 8 years after I was at school with them.
Must have been the way they walked or something.

Need to point out that the thread starts off being about something completely different to what it winds up.
The Schwarzenegger movie was recently on heavyu rotation on Sky 1 +2. It's now been replaced by The Core

sorta pumped tbh

yeah this cld be fun

How good is the original really anyway

...

the original is a masterpiece, pal

Yeah, no kidding. They're nearing the apex of unnecessary remakes.

Is it on Criterion? Is it on Netflix Instant?

I must admit that Total Recall's absence from the respective homes of Armageddon and Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie pretty much invalidates its status as a classic. Well played, my friend. Well played, indeed.

i'm just worried about how quickly the gap is closing in terms of time lag between originals and remakes, at this rate the first Harry Potter remake will be 2015

Well, the first Harry Potter is more than a decade old. You don't expect kids today to sit through some draggy old person's movie that isn't in 3-D, do you?

I think the preview looked better than I remember Total Recall being (a few zingers aside.)

i don't get it... where exactly will quaid get his ass to

Certainly not the choppah.

this looks fucking awesome

i think the basic plot is pretty hard to make a bad movie out of

seems like they wanted to set this in the blade runner universe, visually speaking, almost make it a companion piece or something

that said, when are we going to get to move on from this greenish dusky matrix style late 90s lighting? ever?

greenish? teal + orange still hott in 2012 was my impression.

also still hott in 2012: unarmed guy roundhouse-kicking out half a dozen trigger happy flak jacketed troops with drawn sidearms.

no that's true, greenish giving way to touches of teal and orange, but still the whole thing reeks of a certain swathe of "gritty" video games, the vast majority of which even now have never really escaped this very specific immaculately dingy aesthetic

that said i am going to see the hell out of this

like, i sort of liked it in the original that rekall basically looked like a real estate agency (safe, inoffensive, cheerful, maybe even republican) rather than what we have here which is what, some kind of desaturated holistic loading dock

tri-breasted?

Funny, I just re-watched the old one not long ago. This looks totally useless. I like Colin Farrell a lot, but I don't like the deadly Wiseman/Beckensale team, particularly the useless former. Granted, it's a trailer, but it plays like a video game cut scene.

I want to live in all these futuristic cities

layered city reminded me more of fifth element than blade runner tbh

Looks like these films in a three way with Minority Report. Also Harold (from '& Kumar' fame!).

I paused and checked out the city also

cgi back muscles

I can’t believe anyone hates the original movie in this thread. One of the greatest movies ever. I like in the ebert review how he gets at Arnold’s acting being central to its appeal

Consider it a divorce.

My biggest criticism is that the mutant village subplot doesn't tie into the rest of the movie. It's a holdover from the Cronenberg project. It ended up being an excuse to have the triboobed lady.

great revive lol
