Len Wiseman is in final negotiations to direct a “contemporized adaptation” of Total Recall, which was based on the story, “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick - the book that spawned the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger film. Last year, Columbia Pictures hired Kurt Wimmer to pen the remake. Neal H. Moritz will produce through his Original Film banner (yes, a company called Original Films is in the remake business).
Imagine the charisma. The eyebrow raises. The undeniable presence… all in the form of a smooth, inanimate stone sitting on your desk. That’s right—Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but as an actual pet rock.
Fans are practically begging Jim Carrey to dust off his Hawaiian shirt and talk out of his backside one more time in Ace Ventura 3!
TNS: In a new interview, Corey Feldman has opened up about losing a role on What's Eating Gilbert Grape, which he attributes to Johnny Depp.
I'd really been wondering why this film hadn't been remade yet.
This worries me a little.
Wimmer hasn't written the type of suspense that was seen in the original Total Recall and Wisemen's resume doesn't exactly instill confidence in a similar regard.
