Brand New TV Spot For Total Recall!

by Shawn Madden

Check out this brand new TV spot for Total Recall featuring snippets of new footage!

Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) whom 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 (Bryan Cranston) – there is no one Quaid can trust, except possibly a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) working for the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy). 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. The film is directed by Len Wiseman. The screenplay is by Kurt Wimmer and Mark Bomback and the screen story is by Ronald Shusett & Dan O’Bannon and Jon Povill. The producers are Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe.

Total Recall hits theaters next Friday.

Blade Runner Writer In Talks to Return for Sequel

by Shane O'Hare

Hampton Fancher, author of the original Blade Runner script based off of Phillip K. Dicks short story, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, is in talks to return to write the sequel.

It was said that it will infact be a sequel and take place some years after the first. Ridley Scott has said this was intended to be a series of films.

Now before you go all “THIS MOVIE DOESN’T NEED A SEQUEL!” I would like to direct you to the three official “authorized by Phillips K Dicks Estate” sequel novels.
