New ‘TOTAL RECALL’ Trailer Delivers More Action and Explosions

The initial trailer for Total Recall didn’t really stimulate my mind or my visual sense.  It seemed to present a world that looks all too similar to other neo-noir landscapes that I had seen on-screen before.  A lot of what was shown in that trailer is back in this brand-spanking new trailer.  Yet, for whatever reason – maybe my coffee kicked in and I’m now not so grouchy – seeing all of that footage combined with several new extended scenes from the film actually has me excited.  Len Wiseman . . . you now have my attention.  We’ll see how the film compares to Paul Verhoeven’s fantastical imagery found in the original film when it comes out on August 3.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
