A Total Recall of Total Recall?
Date : September 10, 2007 Posted By : Kirby Kegar
Cited Source: http://www.moviehole.net/news/20070910_ ... ecall.html
"Kirby here,
The boss slipped me word today that there’s talk of a new “Total Recall” movie getting up in the very near future. He’s been dropping a few emails around and finally got the response he was looking for. Only he’s not here to tell you all about it. So I’ll try relay the details (And yeah, get ready to groan more than Jenna Jameson pre-money shot) and take the credit.
The Weinstein’s planned to do a TR sequel – “Minority Report” kinda beat them to the punch, dontcha think? – for the longest time, and with Arnold Schwarzenegger back in the drivers seat, but with the Oak as busy as a bee at a honey festival and Spielberg beating the brothers to the punch, the word is the new film won’t be so much a sequel than it’ll be…. a remake. It kinda... has to be.
Now this doesn’t surprise me at all. I knew the Weinstein boys had the rights to the original 1990 movie – and paid top-dollar for them! – and it doesn’t seme like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s going to be returning to acting anytime soon, as well as the fact that remakes are all the rage right now, but “Total Recall” is such an action classic and it holds up very well that a do-over just seems totally uncalled for.
And who could play Doug Quaid like Arnie, I ask?
Hopefully it stays an idea." |

I didn't think TR or the pregnancy films were amongst the best; neither in story line nor in acting.
Hopefully they'll let this bomb stay defused.  |

| As long as Arnold guarantees that the picture will be lead-free, I will probably watch it. |

 Give me a break. A remake of one of those late 80s early 90s ultra--violent hyper-kinetic sci-fi flicks? Only if they bring back the original film`s only character of any true dramatic depth.....the Johnnie cab! |

Arnold was so tough in total recall that even Sharon Stone gets to beat him up. |

I don't mind a bit of gratuitous violence surrounded by cheap sci-fi plot... I'll probably watch it.
