Total Recall is a 2012 American science fiction action film, based on the 1990 film of the same name and by extension the 1966 short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Unlike the original film, the plot for the 2012 film lacks a trip to Mars[4] and contains strong political overtones. In addition, the film also blends Western and Eastern influences together, due to the fact that the two nation states, United Federation of Britain and The Colony, are battling for political power.
It is directed by Len Wiseman, written by Mark Bomback, James Vanderbilt, and Kurt Wimmer, starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, and Bill Nighy.Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days is a 2012 teen comedy film directed by David Bowers from a screenplay by Wallace Wolodarsky and Maya Forbes.
