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.
Colin Farrell is starring as Quaid while Bryan Cranston will play the villain Cohaagen.
Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel are in talks for the two female leads.
Hawke's role is being called a secret cameo.
Shooting is expected to begin in June in Toronto.
