Sony Pictures want to reboot Total Recall the cult science-fiction movie that was starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and which was based on the story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick! Come on do they really have to reboot every movie? Schwarzenegger’s Total Recall was a great movie and its special effects still look decent compared to what’s done nowadays. I’m confident this remake of Total Recall will be a hell of a movie thanks the latest technologies, but why don’t they come up with a real new story? Anyway…

Director Len Wiseman (who directed the first two Underworld movies) has been hired to helm the project, and Scriptwriter Kurt Wimmer is writing the screenplay.

“I’ve always been fascinated with Philip K. Dick’s short story, and I’m excited at that prospect of diving even deeper into the type of world it evokes and the questions it asks. I love that the most crucial mystery our character is trying to solve is the one of his own soul.”

Director Len Wiseman

“Len Wiseman has an incredible love of the genre and a great gift for action. He’ll bring a contemporary feel to the film while taking care with everything we love about Philip K. Dick’s original story.”

Matt Tolmach, President of Columbia Pictures

Author Max Brook confirmed that there’s a movie adaptation of his bestseller zombie novel World War Z. Director Marc Forster (who directed Quantum of Solace) is set to helm the project Paramount Pictures. And Actor Brad Pitt will have a lead role.

World War Z Trailer

Plot:
“A researcher for the U.N. Postwar Commission interviews survivors from all over the world in order to put together a post-mortem on a war that destroyed every country around the globe. A war involving nasty flesh eating zombies…”

Word War Z makes for a thrilling read. Glad they’re going to bring this master piece to the big screen. I wonder if they’re going to keep the same structure though: the book is actually collection of individual accounts in the form of interviews of different characters. And along the story we get a better picture of the origins of World War Z and how it changed the world. I’d think it’s too much for just one movie, so I guess they will simplify the whole thing for the film.

They’re eying a Summer 2012 release for the movie World War Z.
