I remember reading the book a few years ago in high school.

Sounds nice.

Perfect title for the movie. Run out of new ideas, recall movies/stories from the past to redo.

Although, one story I would absolutely love to see get cinematic justice, is the Dune series. Such awesome books. There was just that Lynch movie that made it rain in the end for no damn reason, and that SyFy short series (way back when their movies were at least halfway decent and their name hadn't changed). Guess I could check those out, but I really want a big budget new Dune movie. I think it could be better than Star Wars if done right (though plotwise that's not honestly that hard, at least with the prequels lol)

Really don't know about this one, the original is my absolute favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The SyFy mini series wasn't that bad, but yeah, there are few other series as deserving of good remakes as Dune. Literary works of art that have never been close to fully realized on film.

As far as the Total Recall remake goes, I've been following this for a few months now and I have extreme reservations about the casting. But, this trailer has sold me on the whole tech noir feel, so I'm at least going to seeing it before I pass judgement.

Also, "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" is fantastic. Well worth a read for those who haven't.

I'm sold. Looks a bit more over the top action the the old one, but still looks good. Plus I dig Kate Beckingsale.

My dad and I plan to go to see this within the hour, I'll post thoughts later. If nothing else it looks like a good action flick with cool effects and set design. Never did read the Phillip K. D ick short story, I may have to check some of his work out at some point. Particularly Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, i.e. Blade Runner.

The filter on D ick needs to go. I think a lot of the filters got reset at some point.

God, whatta Dick. Though plenty of dicks would like to be near the main gal characters of that flick.

Evangeline Lilly? You know it.

The movie was decent. A fair few thing you have to suspend your disbelief for, but good action and great effects. Really cool city design and such, much like Deus Ex. I kept looking for a light umbrella in the scenes showing crowds of people in the rain though lol. Would have been a sweet nod to put in. I did want to eviscerate the people behind me and send them to the special level of hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Definitely seeing this. Kate Beckinsale is my all time fav. I told my wife if she ever walks through the door be prepared haha! Anyways Total Recall with Arnold was one of my favorites back in day so lets hope this one lives up

I second that opinion on Kate Beckinsale.

Ah, I was wrong. The two women in the movie are Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale. Both hot. I do also like Evangeline Lilly though.

how about a spin off tv series, get the guys who did BSG and that show would be off the hook.
