What on earth are they thinking?

From the cast it looks maybe like a more 'thinking' Total Recall than an action film with some thinking bits in it.

Fingers crossed they add far more twists/turns into it and don't make it really bad.


What I am worried more by is Robocop in 2013... they are starting to remake films that were already very good now. They were not exactly in black and white, or lacking in visual effects, or modern filming/storytelling techniques.

Bit weird since there have been some great creative films out over the last few years...

They say Hollywood has run out of original ideas but you know what I have atleast 6 solid original ideas.
Thing is, why remake Total Recall so closely.

Why not re-imagine it with new characters and places and things...

I'll remain open minded for now... but it's a good 50:50 that it'll either be a new take and really interesting (but why call it Total Recall and not something new then, to stop it being compared), or it'll be horrible.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
