One of my favorite Sci-Fi thrillers was 1990's "Total Recall". So it's no surprise to me it's being remade. The original starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and was ahead of its time. The remake will feature one Colin Farrell who is fresh off a remake of "Fright Night". I have one major rule for remakes- make it new, without ruining the original premise. After watching the trailer for the new "Total Recall" I am cautiously optimistic.

 

 

Here is the trailer from the original so you can compare.

 

 

The remake will hit theaters on August 3rd.
