The New Total Recall Trailer; Film Opens August 3rd

In case you haven’t seen it yet, here is the new trailer for Sony’s Total Recall. The new version of Total Recall concerns a worker in the future, Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), who suffers from schizophrenic nightmares – suspecting that he’s actually a spy whose memories have been replaced. Rather than memories of Mars (as in prior versions of the story) however, in the new film Quaid uncovers suppressed memories pivotal to an ongoing rivalry between ‘Euroamerica’ and ‘New Shanghai’ – two fascistic, technologically advanced superstates fighting for economic control over Earth’s future.

Directed by Len Wiseman, the film opens August 3rd.

Watch The New Trailer for The Dictator + The New ‘Republic of Wadiya’ Website

In case you haven’t seen it yet, there’s a so-so new trailer out for The Dictator (it’s not quite as sharp as the first trailer). Also check out the bogus ‘Republic of Wadiya’ website recently set up for the film. The site’s actually funnier than the trailer.

One World Chic: The New Trailer for Stephenie Meyer’s The Host + Shepard Fairey to Produce New 1984 Adaptation?

A promising new teaser trailer is out for In Time director Andrew Niccol’s adaption of Stephenie Meyer’s alien invasion novel The Host, so check that out. Apparently alien-possessed people all have blue eyes. Who knew?

Plus, in seemingly related news, Obama-Hope poster artist Shepard Fairey apparently wants to produce a new adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984 with Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Entertainment. The irony of Fairey’s participation in such a project is apparently lost on Grazer and Howard … or is it?
