Phil Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 http://collider.com/kate-beckinsale-jessica-biel-total-recall/92933/?_r=true Last month we heard that Sony Pictures had offered Kate Beckinsale the role of Lori opposite Colin Farrell in their Total Recall remake. With her husband, Len Wiseman, directing the project and given that they previously collaborated on the Underworld movies, it wasn?t really much of a surprise. However, sources have now told us that she?s officially signed on and Jessica Biel is going to play the other female lead (Melina). In addition to the casting news, we?ve been told filming starts Monday in Toronto. For those playing catch up on the remake, Colin Farrell is set to star, Ethan Hawke has a cameo, and Bryan Cranston is poised to play the villain. The remake will apparently be closer to Phillip K. Dick?s source material than the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger flick. Farrell plays a factory worker who begins to believe he?s a spy for either the nation stat Euromerica or New Shanghai, but he doesn?t know which. Hit the jump for a recap of what we know about the film so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Same. I'm honestly not sure how to react to it until I at least see a trailer here. Wiseman did all the Underworld movies and Live Free or Die Hard, so it's not like he's a total unknown, but that's far from taking on PKD-type Sci-Fi.

hamov glir Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 The only way this will be good is if there's a Biel and Beckinsale hardcore lesbo scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momentum Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Sounds AWESOME to me, not only my favorite girl in the whole world Kate Beckinsale in it but Total Recall is actually one of the better Arnold flicks with a cool story and premise. Can't wait for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 honestly total recall is a bad ass movie there is no reason to remake it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Scags Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Honestly, no remake of that movie will be right without a giant glowing amber ball being pulled out of someones nose. And I agree with Sid, already a bad ass movie, leave it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamov glir Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 You can't remake Arnold movies without Arnold. It's just a simple fact. I'm not joking when I say that, I'm being serious. His screen presence cannot be matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
