Len Wiseman has 'Total Recall'

By Adnan Tezer Jul 31, 2010, 1:16 GMT

Len Wiseman is in final talks to direct Columbia’s reboot of "Total Recall," the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi action movie directed by Paul Verhoeven.

The 1990 film and reboot are based on the Philip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale."

According to Variety, Kurt Wimmer, who wrote the studio's current Angelina Jolie-starrer "Salt," is writing the screenplay. "Recall" follows a man haunted by a recurring dream of journeying to Mars who buys a literal dream vacation from a company called Rekall Inc., which sells implanted memories. The man comes to believe he is a secret agent and ends up on a Martian colony, where he joins the fight to overthrow an evil ruler controlling the production of air.

Neal Moritz will produce through his Sony-housed Original Film production company.

Wiseman’s directing credits include "Underworld," "Underworld: Evolution," "Live Free or Die Hard" and the pilot for CBS's remake of "Hawaii Five-0."
