Total Recall remake
 

I didn't see a thread or post on this....if there is one...forgive me


Producer Neal Moritz (I Am Legend) and Columbia are in final negotiations to remake Total Recall, Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi classic, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on the Philip K. Dick story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," that smash, in which Arnold played a futuristic Average Joe who may or may not be a secret agent determined to free Mars from its draconian leaders, grossed $261 million worldwide. As Quaid, Arnold slayed Sharon Stone, flirted with three-breasted women, and tracked down a creepy freedom-fighter named Kuato. After 19 years, Moritz is hoping the advancements in technology and state-of-the-art visual effects will help refresh the story.

Harvey and Bob Weinstein had once hoped to develop a remake (or sequel) when they still ran Miramax, but Columbia secured the rights when the Weinsteins left to start their own company.

no idea what a remake would bring to the table.

the film is too well know to warrant a 'reintroduction' to new fans

the origional was well made



i dont see the point. i'm not going to piss and moan about it like someone killed my dog - i just dont understand why they'd bother.

I agree



and sorry about your dog

the remakes killed my dog !

ohhhhhhh lord make the remakes stop !


ohhhhh woah is me !!!

I can't imagine a remake of this. It wasn't that long ago and the SFX were fine. Also, I just can't picture anyone replacing Arnold as Doug Quaid.

maybe they'll remake it with all the same actors :)

Agree, Im struggling to see the point to a remake (apart from the $$s)

However, I would probably still go and see it out of curiosity

bah - BAH!

What's Total Recall without the cutting edge claymation?! NOTHING!!

How can you possibly remake THAT?!

And why would you want to?

For the geriatric version? :p

Seems a weird choice for a remake but its not surprising after rumours of the Robocop remake.
