Total Recall (2011)

Starring: TBA
Director: TBA
U.S. Opening Date: TBA 2011

A "contemporized adaptation" (whatever the heck that is supposed to mean!) of Total Recall, the 1990 sci-fi action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger based on the Philip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale." In the original movie Arnie is an overpaid construction worker in the year 2084 who is haunted by visions of Mars even though he has never been to the place. When he goes to a company called Rekall for a virtual vacation (i.e. they implant false memories of a holiday – after all, memories of a holiday are just as good as the real thing isn’t it?) it becomes apparent that Arnie really has been to Mars and is in fact a secret agent of sorts. Or is he? The remake will be written by Kurt Wimmer who has proven that he hasn’t gotten a single talented bone in his entire body with the dismal Milla Jovovich SF actioner Ultraviolet and thus just the go-to guy for pointless, unimaginative Hollywood remakes . . .
