Totally New

Producer Neal Moritz tells Collider that actor Colin Farrell is all set to play Douglas Quaid in the "Total Recall" remake and that there is not much similarity with Paul Verhoeven's 1990 original.

According to Moritz, the plan is to stick closer to Philip K. Dick’s short story  We Can Remember It for You Wholesale than the previous film. This means we won't see Mars - "It’s closer to the book, the big difference is we don’t go to space. Instead of it being a spaceship that takes us to another planet, there’s something that takes us from one side of the planet to another that’s really interesting.”

The redo promises Moritz - "it’s a real world, a real future world, where the cities have just gotten so overcrowded that the cities are just built up, up, up, up. We’re playing it like a real world, but there are all these technological advancements" says Moritz.

The best news as far as I'm concerned is that the pic will be a 2D effort Yahoo and 3 cheers - "We’re not gonna do Recall in 3D. We decided that it would be too much".

Shooting kicks off in May 15th with Len Wiseman calling the shots
