New Total recall trailer.

Quite excited about this. Colin Farrel can act quite well in the right film (e.g. In Bruges, The Way Back). Similarity to 5th element is a plus in my book!
 
From the trailer, that looks utterly ****.

One point to note, is that the original has Arnold. The man is just not replaceable.

Secondly, Fifth Element was rubbish. It's been done, move on.


This really does look so bad, I'm ****** off that they are ruining a classic. Just leave it alone! FFS. It's still absolutely brilliant.
 
Apologies for the slight sidetrack.

Interested, but I refuse to install quicktime. Will wait for a real video of it.

Just in reference to this - you may have .mp4 players already on your machine, and the annoying part is just Apple's websites keep redirecting you instead of downloading the movie to watch it unless you have quicktime installed.

The way it checks you have quicktime installed is through the UserAgent string of your web browser.

So with IE for example, you can trick Apple's websites with:

1. Open the page with the trailer download links on it.
2. Press F12 to open up IE dev tools
3. Access menu Tools > Change User Agent String > Custom
4. Create a new user agent entry called QuickTime with the value QuickTime as well (save it for later so it's quicker to access next time)
5. Download the trailer direct to your PC so you can view it with the software of your choice

Usually you can just wait 30 minutes for someone to upload a version of the clip to Youtube instead anyway, but in case it's desired/needed for any reason, this should work ok! I think it's appalling that Apple are extending their 'walled garden' into my PC and dictating the software I would need to use just to view a movie file, and until QuickTime is installable on its own merits as good software, I use this alternative method instead.
 
Just watched the full trailer and I'll say it now, it looks awesome!! I thought it wasn't going to be a remake of the original and it was simply a film that shared the name of the Arnie classic but going from the trailer I'm glad it is a remake because like I say I think it looks really really good.

Fair enough Farrell is a crap leading man but what's not to like about the rest? Awesome effects, awesome action scenes and both Beckinsale & Biel. Looking forward to seeing this now :)
 
To be honest, it won't be as good as the original, so I won't be paying to see it at the cinema.

But hey man, I got faaaiiiive kids to feed.
 
I'll eat my hat, and probably a few other things, if this is as good as Verhoeven's film. IMO, it is impossible to better his Total Recall. This new film may be more faithful to Dick's work, but as a film, I can't see it coming close to being as good.

Same goes for the remake of Robocop.

They are remaking Robocop ???????

I wont buy that for a dollar!

IF we change the name of the film and forget its TR then it actually looks like one hell of a ride. Sure its not ever going to replace the original but it looks like an awesome futuristic interpretation of a future.
