Wow. I’ve gotta say, when they first announced a remake of Total Recall, I was a bit skeptical. The 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger version has such a fond place in my heart, but this brand new trailer almost made me feel like I was the one who went to Rekall and had my mind messed with, because this movie looks completely kick-ass. It looks like a fantastic piece of science fiction, and maybe those who were disappointed with Prometheus earlier this summer will get a good taste of sci-fi before the season comes to an end. Check out the new trailer below.

Synopsis: “Total Recall” is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.
