Get ready for a surprise!
Total Recall–”for a new generation of fans”–Columbia Pictures has announced their choice for who will direct this “contemporized” take on Philip K. Dick’s We Can Remember It for You Wholesale. Len Wiseman, the man who brought us Die Hard 4 and every fucking one of those Underworld films is reportedly in final negotiations to direct this re-imagining. In the press release, Wiseman declares his fascination with the original story, and loosely promises to dive deeper into its world and themes–while maintaining the name Total Recall, of course, because no one’s going to see some shit called “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.” Give me a name I can remember from a couple decades ago!
OK, this is just wrong Total Recall is a fukin classic you couldn’t make it any better if you tried I mean look at all the shitty remakes we’ve had over the last five years. I’m not going to list them I’ll just mention one that came out this week A-Team what a pile of shit and it’s not about making a great film it $$. Here a nice article in the Independent.
Right as Churchill would has if he was still alive, we fight them on the internet, Facebook group “No Recall” Twitter lets go and see if we can save this movie. Or we can let them make it and bitch about it later.
