It seems that Douglas Quaid will take his own advice and get his ass to Mars again. Neal H. Moritz and his Original Films are in final negotiations to develop and produce for Columbia Pictures a contemporary version of Total Recall, which will be based on the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi action movie by director Paul Verhoeven.

Carolco was behind the original movie, which was distributed by TriStar and grossed $261 million worldwide. Dimension picked up the rights for a reported $3.15 million with the aim of developing a sequel. Columbia secured the rights from Miramax, which retained them when Harvey and Bob Weinstein left to start their own company.

Calling Dick's story "prescient," Moritz said he hoped the advancements in technology and state-of-the-art visual effects can help tell the "Recall" story in a fresh way.

Plot Concept: The original, based on the Philip K. Dick story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," 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 fights to overthrow a despotic ruler controlling the production of air.

Eh... I didn't like the original much...should be interesting who they cast tho.
