The latest edition of Entertainment Weekly is doing well with the exclusive, as not only do they have all the Amazing Spider-man images we brought you earlier, but they’ve also got the first official shot from the remake of Total Recall, which you can see a scan of above (with thanks to TheFilmStage).
Poor old Colin Farrell is getting arrested, presumably for not looking even vaguely like Arnold Schwarzenegger from the 1990 Paul Verhoeven version. He should have just worn a fat lady suit like Arnie did and then he wouldn’t have a problem! Here’s the synopsis: ‘Welcome to Rekall, the company that with one little implant can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Doug Quaid (Colin Farrell), the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his ordinary existence. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. With the line between fantasy and reality blurred and the fate of his world hanging in the balance, Quaid goes on the run to discover his true identity, his true love, and his true fate. Based on Philip K. Dicks classic story I Can Remember It For You Wholesale, this brand new take on some of his most visionary ideas is directed by Len Wiseman and stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, John Cho and Bryan Cranston.’
Doesn’t sound like he’s going to Mars this time, with the mystery instead being which side Farrell’s on in a dispute between nations/companies.
