Total Recall Opens in Theaters August 3rd, 2012

The futuristic action thriller Total Recall opens in theaters this Friday, August 3rd.

A remake — or maybe a reimagination — of the 1990 film of the same title, both loosely based on the Philip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale", the film stars Colin Farrell as Doug Quaid, who visits a company that provides clients with artificially implanted memories. Before the procedure begins, however, it is discovered that Quaid may not be who he says — or even thinks — he is. Now on the run, without knowing who he can trust, he tries to unravel the secrets of his own mind while fighting competing international interests out to kill him.

Total Recall is directed by Len Wiseman from a screenplay by Mark Bomback, James Vanderbilt, and Kurt Wimmer.

Rather than repost the trailer here — you can see it on one of our previous posts — we thought we'd embed a very entertaining look at the special effects behind one of the hovercar chases in the film.
