I had no idea novelizations were this popular. When I was young, I didn't buy the novelizations, but I did buy the panini sticker albums. I'm happy to see they're still making them. I wouldn't buy the stickers, usually - just the albums. See, the books were often sold for very cheap (about the Irish equivalent of 75c) to get you started on buying the stickers to fill it, and would already come with the whole story and a bunch of photos, so it was a great way to get the "book of the movie" for dirt cheap. Did that with Batman Returns, Jurassic Park and a bunch of others. |

I was just listening to the TOTAL RECALL theme on itunes. So good. It should be used more in trailers or FUNNY OR DIE parodies.

One strange added detail I recall from one of these was at the beginning of Chris Columbus's novel of his own GREMLINS script, which talked about the distant planet that Gizmo came from. Is my memory just inventing this? I'm sure I read it.
George Gipe wrote the novel, and yeah. Gizmo was from another planet and the population was in turmoil because they kept turning into Gremlins. It was weird. |

I'm a sucker for big crowded future cities, but I liked that trailer. Will miss Johnny Cab (though I bet there's one in the background), but I dug the shout-out to the disguise at the airport at the end.

That looks shockingly good. Not Lockout good, but close. Has Wiseman been taking classes or something?

TOTAL RECALL completely changed the way I thought about sci-fi films and books, and fortunately led me to reading a bunch of Isaac Asimov.
The trailer looks a little like Joey Tribbiani as an Arnold stand in, but I have hopes that this will work out. I'd love to see a red band trailer as Total Recall, if I recall correctly. was as violent as Robocop.

Colin Farrell is Joey Tribbiani? I would watch that.

It looks fun. It's seems different enough to justify its existence.
Although the stupid color timing and that lame virtual camera move make me roll my eyes A LOT. Saved by the Biel.

I think the idea of the Dick story lends itself to a non-Arnold telling; this looks pretty amazing.

I'm glad that Biel's character had her hair in a ponytail so I could tell her apart from Beckinsale.

I would agree, but this movie looks way more like a remake of the movie than a more true-to-the-story adaptation. And that's cool, 'cause it looks like it could be awesome. |
