New Total Recall clip features Bryan Cranston

I’m still not sold on Len Wiseman’s retelling of the Total Recall story. It seems like an unneseccary revisitation based on a weird sense of nostalgia-optimised timing as much as anything.

However this new clip does introduce one of the reasons to break out a modicum of excitement for the project – namely the first good look at Bryan Cranston as Vilos Cohaagen, corporate nasty (not the corrupt governor of Mars in the 1990 film, played to creepy perfection by Ronny Cox – Dick Jones to Robocop fans).

Given the situation presented in this clip, and who he is talking to, it may be considered a little spoileresque but if you’re familiar with Paul Verhoeven’s film none of this will be a shock to you.

Sit back, relax, let us fill your mind with thirty-seven seconds of new memories.
