We brought you the teaser for the teaser trailer for Len Wiseman’s Total Recall remake earlier today, and now the first poster banner has gone online. The official first trailer hits this Sunday, but it’s clear from the teaser teaser and this poster that Wiseman has crafted a fairly different take on Total Recall than Paul Verhoeven’s adaptation. The futuristic city design on this poster is actually pretty cool, and Colin Farrell‘s character definitely has a commanding presence even if little pieces of him are softly floating away. If this dissolving pixel effect is implying that Farrell also stars as Shatterbeast in Snow White and the Huntsman, this summer just got 1000% cooler.
Hit the jump to check out the poster, and be sure to come back to the site on Sunday to watch the full trailer. Total Recall opens on August 3rd.

Here’s the synopsis for Total Recall:
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) whom 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) – there is no one Quaid can trust, except possibly a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) working for the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy). 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 is directed by Len Wiseman. The screenplay is by Kurt Wimmer and Mark Bomback and the screen story is by Ronald Shusett & Dan O’Bannon and Jon Povill. The producers are Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe.

that poster/banner sure looks a lot like the one for Source Code.
are you kidding me? that pixel effect is so cheap. and what about his pose makes him look like he has a commanding presence?…a gun in his hand and dramatic lighting? wow, havent seen that profile stance on posters before. this doesnt look like a poster for a movie..it looks like a generic video game poster.
i am dreading the trailer, if this poster is any indication at all.
slow day huh?
source codeish indeed
Len Wiseman made this. Tells you everything you need to know.
yeah, tells me you’re retarded cinema purist
Lol – you think you need to be a “cinema purist” to be wary of anything from schlock meister, Len Wiseman? Seriously? Check out his cv on IMDB and then get back to me. This will be crap – it was decided the moment Wiseman signed on.
… this is so lame. Not only it’s a straight rip-off of Source Code, they HAD to use the same logo as the original film. I mean, it’s not like it’s the same movie… Some execs think people are plain stupid…
The teaser for this looks awesome. Love Colin Farrell, he’s gonna rock this!
The recent game Syndicate had a cool disintegrating effect but instead of pixels, they were the logo of the company who owns his cyborg body. Cool huh?
Thanks , I’ve just been searching for info about this topic for a while and yours is the greatest I have discovered till now. However, what in regards to the conclusion? Are you positive concerning the source?|What i do not realize is if truth be told how you’re no longer really much more neatly-preferred than you might be right now. You’re very intelligent.
