First Clip and TV Spot for Len Wiseman’s TOTAL RECALL
Sony has released the first clip and TV Spot for Len Wiseman’s sci-fi thriller TOTAL RECALL starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel. The film is a remake of Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 flick of the same name and is based on Philip K. Dick’s short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale.” The clip features Doug Quaid (Farrell) being consoled by his wife Lori until her warm embrace turns into a chokehold. I enjoyed the original and I am excited to see Wiseman’s take on the story. Total Recall opens August 3rd. Clip courtesy of The Ellen Show.

Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.
