THE OFFICIAL MOVIE TRAILER: Total Recall (2012)


The official trailer for Total Recall (2012) starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho and Bill Nighy. As the nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai vie for supremacy, a factory worker (Farrell) begins to suspect that he's a spy, though he is unaware which side of the fight he's on.

Here’s a look at just some of the major visual effects and virtual production work – including the dramatic hover car chase, the ‘in-one-shot’ gun fight, the robotic Synths, hologram effects and the elaborate earth elevator destruction.


TOTAL RECALL is a 2012 American science fiction action film, based on the 1966 short story "We can remember it for you Wholesale" by philip K. Dick, the second feature to be based on material since the 1990 film of the same name. Unlike the original film, the plot for the 2012 film does not include a trip to Mars, and exhibits more Political overtones. The film blends Western and Eastern influences together, due to the fact that the dominant two nation states in the story, United Federation of Britain and The colony, are battling for political power.
It is directed by Len Wisemen, written by Mark Bomback, James Vanderbilt, and Kurt Wimmer, starring Collin Farell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, and Bill Nighy. It was first announced in 2009. It was released in the United States and Canada on August 3, 2012 while it is scheduled to be released in Australia on September 6, 2012.
