Total Recall Remake Footage Looks A Lot Like The Schwarzenegger Movie

The things we’ve been hearing about director Len Wiseman’s Total Recall remake have made it sound as though he might be going in a truly different direction from the iconic Schwarzenegger movie from 1990. For instance, Wiseman’s movie won’t even take place on Mars, but instead stays firmly on planet Earth.

But maybe it’s not so different after all.

The film’s full trailer is supposed to hit the internet soon, but in anticipation of that thirty-seconds of teaser footage has been leaked and, what we see in it looks a lot like what we saw in the Schwarzenegger movie. Take a look…

The plot seems pretty similar and the actual Recall chair in particular looks nearly identical to the one used in Arnold’s movie. Here’s a comparison:

    Why can’t Hollywood come up with any new original ideas for action movies? They keep remaking old movies, or using their titles (ex. Project X, 21 Jumpstreet) and destroying the story,or making a complete farce out of it. Whats next? E.T. the comedy? Get real Hollywood writers and get with the times!

      Because its a business, and there banking on the familiar name. Sense “WE” the viewers demand such amazing special effects and low attention span. They need to spend more and more money on movies. We are in a world where 200 million is normal for a high budget movie. That is ridicules.

    Phillip K. Dick wrote loads of good stories including, “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale”, AKA Total Recall. Surely Hollywood could try making “Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said”, or “The Penultimate Truth”.  There’s loads to choose from….

      I really dislike the pompous titles of that era’s sci fi. “I Have No Mouth Yet I Must Scream” or “Raining In My Guitar Case, Thought the Tick-Tock Dildo Salesman.”  Thank god they stopped doing that.

    I don’t know what you’re seeing, but that looks absolutely nothing like the original film. The only thing that looks remotely similar is him sitting in the chair. As for similarities, of course there are similarities. They’re based on the same story.
