Recall for Arnie classic

Film producers are planning a sensational new version of Arnold Schwarzenegger's classic 1990 movie Total Recall, according to reports.

Schwarzenegger starred in the original sci-fi thriller, which follows a man who believes he is a secret agent and is haunted by a recurring dream about travelling to Mars.

Bosses at Columbia Pictures secured the rights to the blockbuster earlier this year (09), and Equilibrium writer Kurt Wimmer is working on a new script for the planned remake.

Executives describe the upcoming version as a "contemporised adaptation", according to The Hollywood Reporter, but they are yet to announce who they are considering for the lead role.
