Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel in Total Recall?

In an exclusive, THR revealed the Total Recall remake is attracting some major stars.

BoomTron faithful know Ethan Hawke recently joined star Colin Farrel in the upcoming film based upon “We Can Remember it For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Shooting has been pushed to June in Toronto.

Bill Nighy is now “in negotiations to join the cast” of Total Recall, directed by Len Wiseman. It appears no deal has been inked yet, but Bryan Cranston signed the dotted line to serve as the film’s villain, and Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel are the “female leads”. Wow, two beautiful ladies!

This was THR’s take on the plot:

The movie ditches the Martian storyline from the original pic and instead involves nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai. Farrell plays Douglas Quaid, a factory worker in the latter who begins to believe he is a spy — although he doesn’t know for which side.

Nighy’s character is “Quatto, the leader of the resistance. (In the 1990 movie, the character, called Kuato, was played by Marshall Bell with the conceit that the leader was actually a small mutant living off the human.)” You will remember Nighy as Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and as Minister Rufus Scrimgeour in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2.
