'Minority Report' was actually the sequel to 'Total Recall'. Remake of first could be on the way

The report is blessedly free of details, but the Weinstein brothers' longstanding desire for a Recall sequel is no secret; as some of you might recall, the script for what was supposed to be Total Recall 2 eventually wound up being used as the basis for 2002's Minority Report. (Of course, Minority Report -- like Total Recall -- took its ultimate inspiration from Philip K. Dick.)

Wow, talk about a sucky sequel!! Could have fooled me that the two movies were somewhat related.

As far as remaking Schwarzenegger's Total Recall, I don't know, I might be down with that. There's really no need other than greed, but I'd definitely go see it.

Paul Verhoeven's (the director) style is his and his alone. It would be interesting to see how another director would do it, perhaps Spielberg.

man that's funky. Why mess with Total Recall? They must have taken great liberties in making those movies look and feel NOTHING alike...

Now, I know I'll probably take some heat for what I'm about to say, but I think Tom Cruise would be pretty good as Quaid in a remake of TR. It would be a different kind of Quaid obviously, but I think he could pull it off.

yea, wander around clueless to who you are, that sounds perfect for Tom...
