"TOTAL RECALL 2" NEXT FOR ARNOLD? "Recall" sequel rumored at AICN! Reported By: Randy Jennings Wednesday, November 13, 2002 There's a very disturbing rumor at Aint-It-Cool-News today that Arnold will reprise his role in Total Recall 2 right after T3. We personally refuse to believe this or we are in denial. If Schwarzenegger makes TR2, Oak fans know it will just postpone or possibly even kill "Crusade" and "King Conan" for good. We can't tell Arnold enough times how many countless polls we have had here with the results always the same: 65% of fans favor Arnold to return in King Conan while the rest of the percentage split up over his other projects. Many fans are already satisfied without a Total Recall sequel as the somewhat disappointing "6thDay" was too similar. This "Total Recall" talk can very well be a rumor but - if not, we urge Arnold to understand his fans stand behind Milius's "King Conan" or if we really want to pray, let "Crusade" come at last! Quato reporting at AICN: "Greetings fellow geeks, There's an article today in Variety by Justin Oppelaar entitled "Harvey beefs up, slims down 'Miramax's '03 slate brings back studio's roots'" Two of the points that are touched upon are expensive co-financing arrangements and the Dimension Films genre label. Anyway, it isn't news at this point that we have had the prequel/ sequel, tv, and remake rights to TOTAL RECALL for quite some time now. But, it is news that I can announce a release date of Summer 2004. Arnie back on board to star. Original scribes Ronald Shusett and Gary Goldman penning the script. And the possibility that Paul Verhoeven will return to direct. Arnold is starring in T3 for production company C2, the heir to Andrew Vajna and Mario Kassar's Carolco. It was thirteen years ago when they were filming the original Total Recall that Carolco bought the rights to THE TERMINATOR with the intentions to make a sequel as another starring vehicle for Arnold. So, now, Mario and Andy have convinced Arnold to come back for Total Recall 2 as well. A one two punch to follow up T3. And they're negotiating with Dimension to take the reins on the project as well find the financing like they did for T3 with Intermedia, while Miramax stays on board to distribute."
