Sony Pictures is releasing the action thriller Total Recall starring Colin Farrell (Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in the 1990 version) in theaters on August 3, 2012, and in support of the upcoming release, they’ve released a motion poster and a teaser trailer that teases the first real trailer.
Based on the short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick, this Total Recall also features Kate Beckinsale, Bryan Cranston, Bill Nighy, and Jessica Biel, and was directed by Beckinsale’s husband, Len Wiseman.
The Plot: Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man.
Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.
