New Total Recall Trailer Arrives To Make You Question Reality

When I was on the set of Len Wiseman's Total Recall last summer, the coolest thing that I got to see was the massive set called the China Fall. In the film, the world has been split into two nationstates, New Asia to the United Federation of Britain, that exist on opposite sides of the planet. The China Fall is used as a transport that gets people from one side to the other, traveling through the middle of the Earth and flipping in the middle to adjust for gravitational polarity. It was an amazing thing to see in person, but now you can get a look at it as well in the brand new Total Recall trailer.

The preview will likely be attached to next week's release of The Amazing Spider-Man (both films are made by Columbia Pictures), but before it's available on the big screen you can now watch it online. Check it out below, courtesy of Yahoo!

And in case you were wondering, yes, that is a three-boobed prostitute. Hooray for callbacks!

Based on the short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick, the movie centers on a man named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), who is constantly looking for more from life. He then discovers a company called Rekall that specializes in implanting memories. When something goes wrong during the process, however, Quaid discovers that he is actually a spy that has had his memory erased and the life he's been living is a total lie...or is it? Total Recall co-stars Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, Kate Beckinsale, Bill Nighy, John Cho and Ethan Hawke and will be released on August 3rd.
