John Cho (Star Trek) has joined Total Recall, Sony’s remake of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi action film that begins shooting Monday in Toronto. Cho will play McClane, the smooth-talking rep for the mind-messing company that tempts Colin Farrell’s Douglas Quaid to implant fantastic memories into his brain. Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel, as the Hollywood Reporter and Collider.com reported, will play Quaid’s wife and his revolutionary girlfriend, respectively. Bryan Cranston has been cast as the futuristic villain played by Ronny Cox in the original film, and Ethan Hawke will have a small role as well. Bill Nighy, who worked with Recall‘s director Len Wiseman on the Underworld franchise, remains in talks, reportedly to play the revolutionary hero, Kuato.

‘Total Recall’ remake: Colin Farrell is in… but Mars is out?
You know you’re old when they’re remaking movies of your teen years.
“…and Ethan Hawke will have a small role as well.”
Kiss of Doom.
I felt the same way when I read Jessica Biel’s name. The original is still great. PASS!
You know you’re old when you think this is a great new idea.

Jay: Yes, exactly. I immediately lose interest whenever I hear her name mentioned. It’s like that scene in Scrubs: “shoe shopping…”
I was in my 20′s(albeit early 20′s) when the original came out! Lol!
This came out the summer or fall after I graduated high school. Could they have at least waited another decade or so before doing this?
I vote to return to 1990. Let’s go.

Jimmy, My ave weekly hrs was TOTAL! I only cntoued actually work time so if it was a CF class and the WOD was 20 min -that is what I cntoued. If my run was 4 800 s I cntoued time total of all intervals. I’ve been doing tris since ’06 but took ’09 & ’10 off d/t a foot injury. I am CFE Cert. I created all my run, bike, & swim workouts myself. You’ll be great! Have confidence- CFE works!!!!
is hollywood officially out of new ideas yet again?
When did it ever have original ideas,Sam?
Almost never. Is this film still flipping flipping between remake (not terrible, but not the best idea) and new adaptation of the book, (much better idea and more room for improvement.) ???
It feels like Carpenter’s The THing to me. That wasn’t really a remake of the 1950s movie, although it used an association (title, Font etc) for publicity. It was much more of a very faithful adapation of the source novella. It was also a better film (I own both versions) as this could be if it focuses more on the book than the Total Recall script.
Commenters sure are.
Spiderman in on Broadway. Sorry to burst your bubble but; They are ALL out of ideas.
LUV HIM but Jessica Biel? I dunno ….
Jessica Biel AND Kate Beckinsale? Well, I’m at the very least intrigued.
WTF! they’re remaking this….wow. they really have run out of ideas haven’t they
The orginal Total Recall movie wasn’t an orginal idea either you morons. It was based off a scifi novel, and i hear this one is going to be following the book a lot more that arnolds version did
Philip K. D*ck. We Can Remember It For You Wholesale. His stories are the basis for many science fiction movies, including Blade Runner. Great author. Can’t believe EW is censoring his name!
Josh, the original Total Recall was an original idea that arnold came up with…You are the moron.
Are you being serious? I can’t tell if I should laugh at your sarcasm or be disgusted at your stupidity.
I know they’re rare but this is an actually GOOD Schwarzenegger film, remake the bad ones & see if you can do better.
NOTHING that Arnold appears in is good. He is officially banned in our house.
Sorry, but I disagree. I walked out of the theater after seeing it hoping for a better remake someday. It’s a fantastic concept that was made mediocre by hamfisted, overwrought filmmaking.
None can doubt the veracity of this artcile.
John Cho is so freaking hot.
That he most certainly is.
I loved him in Star Trek.
He was also great in that 70′s show.
What are you talking about -.-’ He didn’t play in a single episode of That 70′s Show…
ted seems to be a little confused throughout this message board. Perhaps he needs to sober up before posting.
Total Recall 1990 Arnold is either dreaming the whole thing, or he saves Mars. Whoops, did I give away the ending ??????
So this definitely means the Star Trek sequel won’t be filming for another few months (also given the fact they don’t have a full script or director). How then does Paramount expect them to get the sequel ready for June 2012?
