No idea why they feel the need to remake Total Recall - find as it is thank you... but they are. The guy who re-wrote The Thomas Crown Affair is to blame.

Hollywood is churning out way too many remakes and in most cases they are watered down versions of the original with too much emphasis on set pieces and sfx. I love watching Japanese horrors and foreign movies the way they were meant to be, usually with native audio and subtitles, I don't need it remade for me to enjoy it.
Total Recall is a good movie that doesn't need to be remade. We have seen it before with re-boots of franchises and sequel after sequel that pale in comparison to the originals. I know Hollywood is doing this as it is far cheaper and easier to make a film when the base work has been set by others. The only recent film that has worked and been a success is the new Star Trek.
There are some instances where I'd love to see a modern remake but they tend to be smaller films that don't have the mass fan base that Hollywood is after.

Wonder if they'll keep the original ending this time
The original ending was that he was a vegetable in the chair after the memory implantation went wrong and that everything was his imagination. The girl and plot matching his fantasy, everything going to hell once he kills the company guy, it makes sense. The fade to white at the end was where it switched to him in a hospital bed.
Was taken out because it was too bleak
