Two new websites for the upcoming Sony Pictures sci-fi action film ‘Total Recall,’ directed by Len Wiseman, have launched. The first website, Welcome to Rekall, features four sections for the total recall experience. The first section introduces the public to the team behind the total recall experiment, including CEO Dr. Steven Albert, CTO Cynthia Weston-Greene, Client Relations officer Mac McClane and Media Relations officer Zoey Morgan.
The How It Works section offers videos and written descriptions of the total recall machine. A Look Back offers a glimpse into the history of the makings of Euroamerica and New Shanghai, the new countries that serve as a backdrop in ‘Total Recall.’ The Experiences section allows users to pick which fantasy they want to experience, such as a rock star or celebrity, during total rekall.
The other new website for ‘Total Recall’ is No Rekall, which tries to convince people not to undergo the total rekall experience. The website tell people of the dangerous side effects of the experience, including total memory loss, brain damage and even death. The website also offers glimpses into cases of people experiencing the negative effects of total reckall.
‘Total Recall,’ which hits theaters on August 3, follows Euroamerica (formerly North America and the European Union) and New Shanghai (formerly China and South east Asia) as they fight for political power. Set in a near dystopian future in 2084, a factory worker suffering from violent nightmares, Doug Quaid, played by Colin Farrell, begins to suspect that he’s a spy. Hi believes his memories were erased and replaced, but he’s unsure what side of the fight he’s on.
Doug teams with a young female freedom fighter, Melina, played by Jessica Biel. They must change the political system in Euroamerica, which is controlled by the ruthless President Vilos Cohaagen, played by Bryan Cranston.
