Colin Farrell was offered the leading role in Len Wiseman’s upcoming remake of Total Recall this past week. Since the offer, the Golden Globe winner has been in negotiations to take the role.
Variety reports that this film will modernize “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale,” the Philip K. Dick story that inspired the original film, and assuming that all goes swiftly in the negotiation process, Farrell should do great work in this project. Also, he is much different from Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor who led the original film. The action star’s actual acting skills have been the subject of much criticism, so there might be extra room for character and plot development with a more capable actor.
So, how do we feel about a 90s sci-fi classic remake from the Underworld director?
