Three hot new trailers hit the web this week. The first up is the reboot of Total Recall, starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Bill Nighy, Bryan Cranston, and Jessica Biel. Lots of action and suspense to be seen in this extended spot, but running at over two and half minutes, sometimes less is more and this trailer shows a little too much. Be on the lookout for some nods to the original 1990 version starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, both films based on Philip K. Dick’s short story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale. The Len Wiseman (Underworld, Live Free Or Die Hard) directed film hits theaters on August 3rd.

Tim Burton’s black & white stop-motion remake of his 1984 classic gothic short Frankenweenie, and featuring the voices of Martin Short, Christoopher Lee, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara has a brand new trailer. This twisted Burton-esque tale of a boy and his (re-animated) dog hits screens on October 5th in 3D, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D.

Indiana Jones is finally coming to Blu-ray. Indiana Jones: The Complete Collection will feature all four big screen adventures of the iconic whip cracking fedora sporting archaeologist played by Harrison Ford. While the previous HD transfers on the first three films do their production design an immense world of justice after all these years, in high def Crystal Skull’s attempt to look 1950s retro makes the disappointing fourth entry even harder to watch. The 4K Blu-ray transfer will most likely result in the same outcome. The blockbuster films will be packaged together along with a collection of new and old special features. The box set has a targeted street date of September 18th.
