Highlights From The UK Premiere Of TOTAL RECALL

In London's Leicester Square last night, director Len Wiseman and stars Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale and Bill Nighy all took to the white carpet for the UK premiere of Total Recall. The remake of Paul Verhoeven's 1990 sci-fi classic (which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger) is set to be released here on August 29th, so be sure to check back then for both my review of the film and an exclusive interview with the director in which he talks in great detail about Total Recall, as well as his love of superheroes and how he almost ended up directing 2008's Iron Man for Marvel Studios. Below are highlights from last night's packed out event, including interviews with the cast and crew.

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.
