Almost a month after the full US trailer debuted for Total Recall, Sony Pictures has set loose a new international trailer for the film that’s due out this summer as it hews closer to the original source material and plays it straighter with fewer laughs, though there’s bound to be a few chuckles and nods in there to the 90’s version based on the same source novel. Check it out below.
Plot concept: 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.
