A Teaser For The Full Total Recall Trailer....

This is a bit absurd...So much so that I debated whether or not I should even post this---The marketing folks at Sony Pictures have released a teaser touting the debut this Sunday April 1st of the full trailer for the remake of Total Recall.

I understand the desire for all parties involved to build anticipation for a late Summer tentpole film---but jeebus this isn't The Hunger Games or The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 for crying out loud....!

The film will be a new adaptation of the sci-fi saga based on the Philip K. Dick story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale"--and bares little similarity with Paul Verhoeven's 1990 version.

Colin Farrell is playing Douglas Quaid who begins to think he’s a spy, but he doesn’t know whether it’s for Euromerica or New Shanghai - one of the two superpower countries in this world.

Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel  are the female leads--Quaid's real life wife Lori, and the "woman of his dreams" Melina, respectively.

Bryan Cranston Bill Nighy Bokeem Woodbine and John Cho also star; Ethan Hawke will have a small cameo in the pic

Len Wiseman is calling the shots from a script by Mark Bomback  Kurt Wimmer and James Vanderbilt. Neal Moritz is producing. The film is set to open on August 3, 2012.
