Comic Con 2012: Interview with Total Recall stars Beckinsale, Biel, Cranston & director Len Wiseman

Last Updated on February 12, 2026

While I stepped out of the Sony press line at Comic Con to chat with Matt Damon, my good buddy Jason Adams filled in for a bit. Between the two of us we spoke to two of the stars of TOTAL RECALL along with the film’s director. Yes, it was pretty absurdly cool to chat with Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman. To be honest, I’m very curious to see how differently the film is handled from the original and whether it will satiate fans of Schwarzenegger’s classic feature. This of course we will find out when it opens this coming August 3rd at a theatre near you.

You know the bad thing about talking to Bryan Cranston on the red carpet at Comic Con 2012? You just don’t have enough time. Cranston is one of the most awesome fellas around! And seriously, who would’ve thought the dad from “Malcolm in the Middle” would end up being one of the most sought after talents in Hollywood. With the astoundingly fantastic series “Breaking Bad,” he is also taking on the role that Ronny Cox made famous in TOTAL RECALL. And yes, I think he will be fantastic… the man is fearless! You can check him out this coming August 3rd at a theatre near you.
