Total Recall Reboot Viral Posters
Nix June 16, 2012
Apparently you need to live in Los Angeles to actually stumble across these very real outdoor banners for the upcoming “Total Recall” reboot. A couple of them were plastered over billboards around the city, we’re told. I wouldn’t know, it’s been a while since I visited Los Angeles, but maybe if you live there you can tell me if you’ve spotted them.
Until then, though, check out the billboard posters themselves below, snapped courtesy of the site Comingsoon.
“Total Recall” is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We 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.
The film stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, Bill Nighy, and is directed by Len Wiseman (“Underworld”). It opens August 3, 2012.
