The Breaking Bad star revealed that he does not think it will be difficult for the updated version of the sci-fi movie to stand out.
"I don't think there is much of a challenge at all," Cranston told New York Magazine. "I think the script is better. We certainly have a tremendous upgrade in our lead actor."
He explained: "That is less of a comment on Arnold [Schwarzenegger] and more of a comment on Colin [Farrell]. The special effects over the last 20 years have grown exponentially, so that is going to be a heightened experience.
"And I just think it is an exciting movie," Cranston concluded. "You know it's going to entertain - I can guarantee you that."
In June, Cranston recently revealed that his take on the Total Recall character Cohaagen will be different to the original portrayal in the 1990 film.
Meanwhile, Farrell said that the remake will be much "darker" in tone and less camp than the original.
Total Recall is scheduled to be released in cinemas on August 3, 2012.
