What newness will the reboot TOTAL RECALL bring for the audience is the question that’s been buzzing in every mind that has seen the old version starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Though the generation next will be newly introduced to this sci-fi thriller the oldies will have to watch out that they do not compare the two. And if they do, probably not much would have been changed.
The new Total Recall which is a Sony Pictures movie releases all over the globe on 3rd August. It stars Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale in the lead roles. The film is directed by Len Wiseman which brings the super talented couple Len and Kate back in action after the Underworld series (once again Len as the director and Kate as the actor).
Taking into consideration the old Lori from Paul Verhoeven’s version, the role of Kate if compared to that one might be measly 45 minutes which is a disheartening part for the fans of Kate. Jessica on the other hand will have to play the tough witty prostitute who becomes a crucial force to take the story ahead.
If compared to Arnold, Colin playing the role of Quaid becomes a tough fact to relish as the rough guy muscular look can never be matched up with the lean athletic body.
However, the movie is likely to pull in the crowd as the old version was a massive hit amongst the audience.
The Total Recall (old) which was released in 1990 was produced by Mario Kassar and Andrew G Vajna while the new version that is going to release this year is produced by Neal H Moritz and Toby Jaffe. Though both these versions are based on the same short story of Philip K Dick yet the new version will not be giving the audience the red hot devastating taste of planet Mars. Instead the new version story will take place in the time space of future Earth.
So what new will this story have in it if it’s not going to be a journey to Mars? The story has definitely switched the planets but will the concept of the film also switch with this one? And yet again we come back to the same question, what new shall this film offer the inquisitive audience? For that we all will have to wait for the film to release on 3rd August.
