I agree that Terminator should never be remade but I wouldn't have picked Total Recall to never be remade.

Especially considering how different it's from the book, there's plenty of room to make another version really...

I'm sort of the same, remaking Total Recall is right up there with remaking Terminator 2, some things are meant to be sacred :hahaha:.

this

trailer looks ok-ish but still screams cash-in to me. I mean look at predators, that was terrible.

Kinda failing to see how this is a remake of the original, more just another story set in the same universe.

No Mars, no Sharon Stone and no Three boobed girl. Not a remake is this.

Too soon I agree, but I read somewhere that it has more to do with Fox wanting to retain the rights to those characters, and the only way it can do that is to put them in movies. Expect to see Daredevil getting a reboot as well...

No Mars...really? I didn't know that.

Cmon...shazza is who you are complaining about? I sad it doesnt have an Arnie cameo. It does have beckinsale though....mebe she has three ****.

You might not classify it as a remake, which is fine I reckon. Still looks cool though.

maybe its less a remaking of a 90's movie (which i still love) and perhaps instead its going back to the original story by philip k dick and making it truer to that?

Pretty much Sony needs to keep making Spiderman movies or they lose the rights hence why they're rebooting since the original movie series is dead. I'd rather they lose the rights though so that we can have Spidey in Avengers 2! :mrgreen:

I don't know if it's set on Mars or not or whether they got there or not, just by the trailer, which i reckon looks like could be a good flick, i don't see no Martian looking surface there is more what i was getting at.

yeah good one... the same martian looking surface that gets all of 15-30 minutes of screen time on the original. big deal.

now everyone thinks the sequel isn't on mars and you just made it up :P

The martian surface may have only gotten a little bit of play time but half the movie was set on Mars.

Well you never know, it could still be on Mars, just really far in the future cause the land had been terraformed and all that.

I'm reserving my judgement until I see it, although I am a big fan of the original maybe they'll make enough changes for it to be a worthy remake.. but I'm not holding my breath :(
