TOTAL RECALL Remake Promo Teaser Trailer

A 45-second teaser trailer for the Total Recall teaser trailer has gone online. I was hoping we could get a 15-second teaser for the 45-second teaser, and maybe even a 5-second teaser for the 15-second teaser, but maybe one day that highly possible dream will become a reality. However, this teaser-teaser does provide the first footage from Len Wiseman's remake of Paul Verhoeven's 1990 sci-fi film. As you can see, the movie is jam-packed with cars from Demolition Man and Cerberus troops from Mass Effect. There are also explosions.

Hit the jump to check out the teaser for the teaser trailer along with the official synopsis. The movie stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, John Cho, Ethan Hawke, and Bryan Cranston. The full trailer premieres on April 1st on ABC during the Celtics-Heat game. An extended trailer will then premiere on Apple. Total Recall opens August 3rd.

Here's the press release. I've bolded the synopsis:

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.
