Len Wiseman’s remake of Total Recall is said to be more based on the Philip K. Dick novel “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale“. The only thing so far that is similar to the novel is that it isn’t based on Mars. We have the same character names as the 1990 version and now we also have something that will make you wish you had three hands.

According to Collider, Len Wiseman has confirmed that the three-breasted woman will make an appearance in the remake, he also noted that the film will not be in 3D. Also the classic one-liners from the 1990 film are said to be used in different forms.

The effects are also said to be done with practical effects while using limited CGI and they have created a unique fighting scene using super slider rigs which are usually used for car scenes.

Wiseman also mentioned that there would be a few similar surprises as well, but we will have to wait for the release to witness all of these.

The remake stars Colin Farrell, Bryan Cranston, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bokeem Woodbine, John Cho and we are still waiting on confirmation of Bill Nighy.

The story involves nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai, with Douglas Quaid (Farrell) a factory worker in the latter who begins to believe he is a spy, although he doesn’t know for which side.

Total Recall hits theatres on August 3, 2012.
