The producers: Sue Milliken remembers the drama of Total Recall IN 1986, the Italian film producer Dino De Laurentiis came to Australia, attracted by the 10BA film tax incentives, and set up an Australian company. The Queensland government gave him a lease on land on the Gold Coast to build a studio, and Dino, through his companies DEG and DEL, decided to make a big special effects movie, Total Recall, in the studio. He asked Bruce Beresford to direct, and me to produce. We started preproduction but things did not go as planned.
