A new TV spot for the remake of TOTAL RECALL has arrived and features a few bits of new footage, highlighting director Len Wiseman’s (UNDERWORLD) hyperactive action style. Starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, Bill Nighy, Bokeem Woodbine, and John Cho, the film is both a remake of the 1990 Paul Verhoeven film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and a new adaptation of the Philip K. Dick short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale.”

TOTAL RECALL starts messing with your head on August 3, 2012.
