New movies undeserving of their own thread - KILLED BY RYAN REYNOLDS

[Timothy225]

Total Recall 2012? Trailer rocked HARD. Definitely going to see this.

[B_Metal]

Trailer was good but will wait for word of mouth.

[Timothy225]

I'll check it out if only to compare it to the Scwarzenegger version. Probably won't be no Quato, but fuck it.

[Abraham Smashington]

The director is my only bit of concern. And I do think that someone like Colin sells the "normal guy who automatically learns how to be a bad ass" more than Ahnold did.

[Matt]

I'll wait for word of mouth on it too, as I'm concerned about Len Wiseman. Still, even a hack can capture lightning ONCE in his career and turn out something good.

[Timothy225]

Agreed with Rerb. Arnold played the same role he played in almost every movie prior to and including Total Recall (big, muscle-bound badass action hero). Colin has played tons of different roles, and has that average Everyman quality about him, so seeing him go from average schmuck to death machine in 0.2 seconds works on a much different level than Arnold.

[Ben Thomas]

Loving the Total Recall trailer too. It's interesting that the things that are identical to the Arnie version are all in the trailer, while the things that are different are being kept back somewhat.

Could this bring us one step closer to seeing Shane Black's original Last Action Hero script being re-made sans Arnie (I've always held that there's a great film in there, severly fucked by Arnold, Austin O'Brien and a way off form McTiernan competing with intrusive star and producers)?

They're supposed to be sticking closer to the original Philip K. Dick story.

[Ben Thomas]

Not what I heard. They're delving more into the memory vs dreams aspect, but they've cut even more of Dick's story it seems.

[Ben Thomas]

Also: Ted.

FUCK TO THE YES.

[Martin]

Ted looks great as well.

"Like anal?"

[Abraham Smashington]

Also: Ted.

FUCK TO THE YES.

You get it. YESSSss.

[Matt]

The short story WE CAN REMEMBER IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE is great.

Then, they've been fucking with it. SONY is trying to sell it as a closer take than the Arnold/Verhoeven three-tittied actionfest.

[Martin]

The three-tittied chick was the high point of the original. All these years later, its the first thing most people remember about Total Recall.
