Default Total Recall Remake

Damn, I heard the news recently when my mom told me yesterday... and since I love this gem of a 90s movie it totally peed me off!

here's some sites;

Come on, at least let the movie have two decades before you ruin it with an inferior, inevitably Paul W.S. Anderson directed remake fellas.
I say, not remake it at all... what would be the point? It was a gem of a movie (and not even 20 years old yet), it had the action hero (good old Arnold), the effects were pretty damn amazing for the time and gave an abosolute impression that he was actually on Mars. And what better climax to a movie could you ask for? Oh I dunno, is it really worth remaking? What's your point of view?

It's far from a perfect films and could indeed be improved in a number of ways. Though it's a favourite of mine too.

Hollywood's running out of ideas for good flicks so hey, instead of putting out films with decent storytelling and plots, let's just remake a classic, dumb it down, hype it up for the ADD sex craved generation. We'll make a killing!

Yea, I hope not but it probably will go through.

@Net: True but well executed despite the flaws. Best line from the movie btw

What is up with all the remakes? Not saying it couldn't be good, but... You know...

I love this movie, why can't they just leave it alone?! It has absolutely no need to be remade.

As if anyone can walk in Schwarzenegger's shoes and pull it off.

Maybe they'll cast Shia LaBeouf.


G-d, I can't believe I thought of that.

yep, there are flaws to this movie, but with post 80s you can't expect too much. I love that scene btw!

I totally agree. But another greate quote was "consider that a divorce" when he shoots Sharon Stone.

How can you replace the guy? It's his best role, and not only that! he's an action hero. He has that status in movies. Who do we have nowadays who can take on that role? You're completely right.

So do I. It always made me chuckle.

It's odd for me to think of this as a 90's film. I always think of it as an 80's film because it just has that feel for me. Anyway, I think I'm gonna have to put the DVD on tonight now.
