Len Wiseman's Total Recall remake will be released in two months time and Columbia Pictures have kicks-started a new viral campaign to drum up some buzz. On the streets of Hollywood, California - two new poster designs have been spotted by eagle-eyed film fans. At the foot of the posters are a URL (www.WelcomeToRekall.com) that leads to a previously-revealed viral site encouraging fans to enter their phone number to receive a message about their "vacation package". Pretty neat idea considering the subject matter of Phillip K. Dick's source material. Here's the officially released plot;
Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story €œWe Can Remember It For You Wholesale€ by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he's got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who 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), the leader of the free world €“ Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. 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.
