Washington DC Adult Entertainment: Total Recall Getting Total Remake
Written on July 30, 2010 – 3:01 pm | by larrylibido
I pride myself on not being a negative Nancy. If someone wants to remake a classic film I usually don’t mind, and I’m even really looking forward to the expansion of the Back to the Future films through future Telltale adventure games. However, Total Recall might be too sacred a property to take on again. I’m just not sure anything can live up to the genius of the original, especially without Arnold Schwarzenegger punching everybody in the stomach as Douglas Quaid.
Despite the twists and turns, Total Recall itself isn’t really all that cerebral. It just has so many funny moments, primarily due to Schwarzenegger and quotes such as “Get your ass to Mars” and “See you at the party Richter!” Who could replace Arnold in one of his best roles ever?
Columbia Pictures president Matt Tolmach says Wisemen will being a “contemporary feel to the film while taking care with everything we love about Philip K. Dick’s original story.” I’m interested to see what Wisemen can do, but let’s face it: Nothing will ever beat a prostitute with three boobs. The film doesn’t appear to have a release date just yet.
