Cranston could have 'Total Recall'

By Adnan Tezer Mar 31, 2011, 19:27 GMT

Bryan Cranston is in talks to play the villain Vilos Cohaagen in Columbia's reboot of "Total Recall," the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi action movie directed by Paul Verhoeven.

According to Variety, Colin Farrell is starring as Douglas Quaid in the reboot.

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

Len Wiseman is directing from a script by Kurt Wimmer.

Neal Moritz is producing through his Sony-housed Original Film production company.

"Recall" follows Douglas Quaid, 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. Quaid 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 (Vilos Cohaagen) controlling the production of air.

Cranston has won three Emmys for his role on AMC's "Breaking Bad," which returns for its fourth season later this year.

He can currently be seen in "The Lincoln Lawyer" and appears this summer in Tom Hanks' "Larry Crowne."
