Two new clips from 'Total Recall'


I kinda felt bad for Total Recall during the Sony panel at Comic-Con. Not that the Len Wiseman directed film looked awful, it was just positioned in the worst possible spot, preceding the incredible displays from Neill Blomkamp's Elysium and Rian Johnson's Looper. Nothing's going to look good against those two, and since they were all from the same sci-fi genre, it only went to highlight Total Recall's deficiencies. There just didn't appear to be as much thought put into the film, with Wiseman choosing to present it more as an straight up action film than one with any actual significance. Still might be fun, though.

Today we've got two new clips from the remake, which stars Colin Farrell as Doug Quaid, a seemingly normal factory worker who wants something different out of life even though he's married with a beautiful wife(Kate Beckinsale). The company known as Rekall seems like the perfect way to take a break from the daily pressures, offering him a chance to live a more exciting life with fantastic memories of being a super spy. But when the procedure goes wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man, on the run from the government and the wife he thought he knew. With the line between reality and fantasy blurring, Quaid's only hope is to find and hook up with a rebel faction with plans of changing their oppressive world.

Total Recall stars Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, Bokeem Woodbine, and Ethan Hawke. Check out the two new clips below....[Hollywood.com/Comingsoon]
