The second season of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s spy action-comedy series FUBAR premiered earlier this month on Netflix. Although many fans were excited to watch the Terminator star on the small screen, the show didn’t find favor with several critics. Overall, it has a modest 48% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score. His last theatrical release was Terminator: Dark Fate (2019), which unfortunately underperformed at the box office, falling short of expectations.
The Film That Could Be Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Big Screen Comeback
It looks like the iconic action hero is still searching for the perfect project that can be his true big-screen comeback. And we might just have the perfect idea. No, it’s not another Terminator or Predator sequel (we’ve had plenty of those). What we’d really love is to see the legendary bodybuilder-turned-actor reunite with Oscar-nominated director Paul Verhoeven for a sequel to the 1990 cult sci-fi hit Total Recall. And here’s why we think it makes perfect sense.
Why A Total Recall Sequel Makes Perfect Sense
It’s been nearly 35 years since Total Recall hit the big screen, and it remains one of those rare sci-fi films that have truly stood the test of time. The movie has aged like fine wine, and Arnold Schwarzenegger was in peak form. A sequel feels like a natural fit because the story and the world of Total Recall have tremendous scope to be explored further. With today’s cutting-edge filmmaking technology and advanced CGI — as seen in post-2000 sci-fi blockbusters like Interstellar, Gravity, and Avatar — filmmakers could create a far more immersive Martian world, aliens, and craft stunning action sequences that simply weren’t possible in 1990.
