two weeks, goddammit, not three!
I kind of like what they did with that particular scene in the remake (if you've seen the original, that is): (

I still remember the moment I saw the original Total Recall trailer when I was ten years old. After seeing the prosthetic head come off with no context I knew that I HAD to watch it.

Too bad that callback is the most interesting part of the scene. God, is the entire movie that flat and lifeless?

even this moment was ruined for people who saw the original and might have been expecting him to be the woman, because about 20 seconds before this scene you see his "asian dude" face on one of his fake passports. .. *sigh*

On the topic of remakes/rehashes-
When I first heard about a Robocop remake I thought a part of me was going to die. Awesome movie. Awesome sequel.
Either way, they keep fucking with my emotions. First I hear that Hugh Laurie is cast as a villain (at first I assumed it was The Old Man but he could just as well be Red Foreman). Now I hear that motherfuckin' OMAR is going to be his human sidekick (Nancy Allen.)
TRYING TO HATE ON A REMAKE but okay hmm well good choice.

Next they'll be wanting to remake Terminator and Predator. Meh.

How they can have all these movies being remade but a movie like Neuromancer can idle away in development hell or purgatory for decades is the sad part.

Not to mention the fact that Neuromancer is much better suited to being a CGI action fest than Philip K. Dick's work is.

You'd need to re-think how cyberspace is visualised seeing as it's not 1995 and no-one is going to be fooled by 'hacking=flying' anymore (I hope not anyway. Gibson, for all his strengths, was pretty shit at second guessing technology), but yeah. Neuromancer could kick it with the right person at the helm. The right person currently being Neill Blomkamp.

Haha, yeah no flying, and definitely no talking dolphins! (How Ice-T can still live with himself... He definitely picked the wrong Keanu cyberpunk movie to be the cool black guy in.) The movies that were getting closer to good cyberpunk depiction IMO were the ones where consciousness gets glitchy when it's plugged in... Eternal Something of the Spotless Mind, uh... others? Inception and Matrix to an extent, but sort of surprising how relatively little glitch they had compared to the potential. (To beat this old horse: I always saw the end of 2001:ASO as glitchy consciousness, not by being plugged in but just literally biologically rewired.)
