Despite Len Wiseman providing his take this summer, there is another version of Total Recall that was out in the ether. Before Paul Verhoeven took over, David Cronenberg worked for about a year on an adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s short story We Can Remember it For You Wholesale. Having written twelve different drafts before failing out with producers Dino De Laurentiis and Ronald Shusett, concept art was even developed. Today, we have our first look at some of these pieces thanks to i09.
Artist Ron Miller and his wife Judith worked on the film in Dilaurentiis’ Rome studio with production designer Pierluigi Basile and now we can see a batch of these images. They mention that Cronenberg’s version would have been less of an “over-the-top adventure” and more like the original source. See some pictures below, along with a blurb about some of Cronenberg’s intentions.
