Director Len Wiseman’s remake of Total Recall opens next week, and to generate some more interest Sony has released 5 new clips that showcase the action and effects.
What’s interesting is the clips mirror moments from the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, though this is probably intentional to show the difference in tone as well the homages being paid to the original.
With the Mars storyline excised, there’s going to be some notable differences – but all up the narrative beats seem to be largely the same – so hopefully how they arrive at the conclusion goes one step further.
The visuals are nonetheless impressive – from the hover cars to the futuristic city, the imagery will be a major draw-card, but the pacing does seem a little staid, so hopefully things evolve organically rather than just going through the motions.
The film stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Bill Nighy, John Cho, Jessica Biel and Bryan Cranston.
