---------
Bryan Cranston is negotiations to play the villain in Columbia's remake of Total Recall.
Colin Farrell is toplining the action movie, which is being directed by Len Wiseman and produced by Neal Moritz and his Original Film banner.
The original 1990 movie was based on a Philip K. Dick story, "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale." The film followed a man haunted by a recurring dream of journeying to Mars who buys a literal dream vacation from a company called Rekall Inc., which sells implanted memories. The man comes to believe he is a secret agent and ends up on a Martian colony, where he fights to overthrow a despotic ruler controlling the production of air.
The new story involves nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai, with Douglas Quaid (Farrell) a factory worker in the latter who begins to believe he is a spy, although he doesn't know for which side.
Cranston would play Vilos Cohaagen, the leader of Euromerica who, under the cover of protecting his people, is secretly readying an invasion of New Shanghai.
While racking up Emmys for his work in AMC's Breaking Bad, Cranston has been working steadily in film. He is currently on screens with Matthew McConaughey in The Lincoln Lawyer and has Tom Hanks' Larry Crowne in the can. He will also be seen with Ryan Gosling in Drive and Disney's John Carter of Mars.

'Total Recall' set for 'animated' remake'

Underworld''s Len Wiseman in line to direct
July 30, 2010

Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1990 film Total Recall is set for a remake, with director Len Wiseman in line to take control. Wiseman, who directed Underworld and Die Hard 4.0, is in final talks with Sony to helm the new and contemporary version of Total Recall, reports Deadline.com.

The script is being written by Kurt Wimmer, who wrote the screenplay for the upcoming Angelina Jolie film Salt.

If Wiseman signs a deal, it could be a blow for Fox and Bruce Willis, who had previously expressed interest in having him direct Die Hard 5.

The original film, directed by Paul Verhoeven starred Schwarzenegger as a freedom fighter from Mars, and was based on the story We Can Remember it For You Wholesale by Philip K Dick.

The remake is being described as "computerized animation".

"I've always been fascinated with Philip K Dick's short story, and I'm excited at that prospect of diving even deeper into the type of world it evokes and the questions it asks," Wiseman explained. "I love that the most crucial mystery our character is trying to solve is the one of his own soul."

Seriously? Don't know if want.

Just bring back the black dude exactly as he was and I'm good.

[kuronosan]

STOP FUCKING REMAKING GOOD MOVIES.

[arus2001]

Paper mache or CG boob... can't decide which is better...

[Rhyis.]

Bring on the animated 3rd tit.

[AoE]

No love for Benny? C'mon man. I mean everyone knows about the third boob and the dude with the stomach. Benny doesn't get appreciated at all though. He was a bitch-assed dude but he knew he was a bitch-assed dude and used it to his advantage.

[Rhyis.]

Benny is the reason why I don't trust black people.

[Dmitry]

BENNY, SCREW YOUUUUUUUU

Seriously do not want though, will not be the same without Arnold.

[Viq]

Two words: Johnny Cab.

[Ryko]

I hope we get a prequel about how he came to have 5 kids to feed.

[Kaisha]

So any idea if they're going to stick with the

Spoiler: show

virtual-trip/false memories

bit from the original?

[Null]

Are we really spoiler tagging a 20 year old movie? Guess I better tag my post in Titanic 2 as well.

Anyway, I could see this being a good universe to make a lil mini series out of. But overall I'm not really into animated movies so I'm a bit put off by this.

[ZarakiKujata]

[Ksandra]

If you want 3D boobs, watch Beowulf 3-D, Angelina Jolie 3D titties mmmmmmmmmmm.

3d boobs =/= 3-boobs

[Qalbert]

3D3-boobs

[Cantih]

3D3-boobs

[Correction]

The 3D glasses at the theater will come with a slider to adjust the number of boobs between 2 and 3 for your viewing comfort.

And are they still making this a 'computerized animation' film? What does that even mean? A Scanner Darkly 2? Didn't that cost too much and delay that film 2 years?
