The Single Shot That Sold Me On The New TOTAL RECALL | Total Recall 2012

TOTAL RECALL REMAKE LOOKS AWESOME

This movie was always a small blip on my radar but it was easily overshadowed by the big boys like The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, Spider-Man and Prometheus.  Still, the promise of Len Wiseman behind the lens and Colin Farrell and Kate Beckinsale in front of it was promising.

A lot of people may be a little disappointed with the lack of a red planet and a third boob but I’m willing to give it a shot.

This is a perfect example of how a single trailer can turn skeptics into believers.  I’m ready for a rebooted Douglas Quaid because of one shot.  I’m sure you can figure out which one it is by watching the trailer but in case you miss it, pay attention at the 1:05 minute mark.

Sold.  That’s all I needed to see.

I’ve always been a fan of Len Wiseman and he is definitely raising the bar with his vision of Total Recall.  The movie looks gorgeous and should be an action packed good time.  I’m thinking Prometheus will have some company this summer.  That is good news for science fiction fans indeed.
