The first official trailer for “Total Recall,” directed by Len Wiseman, was released on April 1. We have a surprise for you below: the trailer, with shot by shot commentary from Wiseman himself.

The film is actually a remake of the 1990 blockbuster with Arnold Schwarzenegger, this time with Colin Farrell in the lead.

It also stars Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel as the two ladies in his life, one more deadly and swift than the other.

Wiseman spoke to MTV News about the scenes that made the cut into the first trailer, while also explaining why he chose them, what it was he was trying to let audiences know about the film.

“Total Recall” is scheduled for theatrical release on August 3, 2012.
