Hey I think this is a great idea. 1) The Special effects in the first one are now shit. 2) Arnie's acting is shit 3) Its also a book and I heard that they are being closer to the source material.
I miss the days when a trailer just had to have "SCHWARZENEGGER" on a title card to sell the movie. They have to know the movie can't get better and it is not one that would benefit at all from redone special effects.
I wonder if this will stay true to the original in the slightest.
It's supposedly based more around the novel than what the Arnold movie was. However, at that point, I would've just stuck to calling it something other than Total Recall.
The original is still a great fun movie to watch. It doesn't feel like a movie that should be remade. Especially if you remove the whole Mars thing that was so core to the story.
@Cheesebob: Ok I didn't know it was a book. But cheesy Arnie movies were/are great and the special effects still look fine to me. But then again I'm going back and watching the original star trek series and the special effects look fine to me in that. Styrofoam walls for the win.
A trailer for a trailer? I feel the people behind this are grossly overestimating how psyched people are for it.
I wonder though what makes them want to remake films such as Total Recall, which I am going to predict with mild confidence will just about make it's budget back, when they could re-release the original and I would happily pay to go and see that on the cinema again even if I can watch it on DVD or various internet streaming movie services?
