The futuristic police of Len Wiseman's upcoming remake of Total Recall have hit the streets of Comic-Con. The below vehicle has been set up across the street from the convention center, accompanied by two apparently robotic law enforcement officers.

Currently filming and scheduled for an August 3rd, 2012 release, Total Recall remakes the 1990 Paul Verhoeven adaptation of the short Philip K. Dick story, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale."

Wiseman's version also stars Bryan Cranston, Bill Nighy, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel and John Cho.
