First Set Photos from Total Recall
The Columbia Pictures remake Total Recall is shooting this week the Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Canada, and a bunch of set photos have hit the web.
According to THR, the plot of this Len Wiseman (Underwold) version will swing from Mars back to the Earth. In the 1990 original, a man haunted by a recurring dream of voyaging to Mars buys a virtual dream trip from a company called Rekall Inc. and when he awakens he deems that he’s a secret agent destined to defeat a corrupt official scheming the production of air on Mars. THR says the new story will get rid of the Martian storyline and in its place involve nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai, with Douglas Quaid (Farrell) a factory worker who starts thinking he’s a spy, although he wasn’t sure for which side.

Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel in Total Recall Officially, Bill Nighy In Talks
Total Recall remake is coming, and as usual, we’re here to share the latest casting updates with you. By now, you already know that Colin Farrell, Ethan Hawke and Bryan Cranston are all set to star in the upcoming Columbia’s remake, and now, it looks that Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel are on board as well. As the female leads, of course.
Surprise? Not exactly. At least not when it comes to Beckinsale. After all, her husband Len Wiseman is in charge for directing the whole thing, so, it’s quite logical that she’s on board as the female lead – Lori.
As for Jessica Biel, she’s not bad choice at all, especially for the other female lead, character named Melina.

Ethan Hawke Boarding Total Recall Remake
If by any chance Ethan Hawke’s favorite director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Brooklyn’s Finest) was at the helm of this actioner, it’s unlikely that born Texan will make only a cameo appearance – since it just could not have happened Hawk will next be seen in the role of minor characters in the remake of Total Recall.
Jessica Biel Eyes One Of The Two Lead Female Roles in Total Recall Remake
Total Recall remake is coming, and we’re happy to update our previous reports with the latest news that goes like this – Jessica Biel has been offered the role in the upcoming Len Wiseman‘s project that already has Colin Farrell on board. At this moment it’s still unclear which role she would play, but there’s a chance she’s going to play character named Lori, after all.
At least that’s what we had a chance to hear from Variety. The two roles in the original, Lori and Melina, were played by Sharon Stone and Rachel Ticotin respectively. Now, we have even three actresses circling out for the roles in this reboot – Eva Mendes, Diane Kruger and Kate Bosworth.
At first moment “there was early buzz that Biel was going for the role of Melina, but sources say there’s a chance she’s vying to play Lori.” The rest of the cast will include Colin Farrell, who will be stepping into the Schwarzenegger role while Bryan Cranston is attached to play the villain.

Diane Kruger and Kate Bosworth have read for the role of Lori; Paula Patton, Jessica Biel, and Eva Green have read for Melina, and Eva Mendes has read for both roles in Len Wiseman’s remake of Total Recall.
Colin Farrell is starring in the role originated by Arnold Schwarzenegger who started out the 1990 Paul Verhoeven-helmed original. His wife Lori was played in the original film by Sharon Stone that really launched her star.
Martian freedom fighter Melina was originally played by Rachel Ticotin — the woman who helps the protagonist get to the bottom of the futuristic scandal on Mars.
