Colin Farrell jumped feet first into the horror genre by taking on the lead vampire role in DreamWorks’ redo of Fright Night, only this time he’s packing for a one-way trip to Mars. Heat Vision is reporting that Total Recall is narrowing in on finding the star that will step into the shoes first worn by Arnold Schwarzennegar in the 1990 movie. Colin Farrell is at the top of the list, which also includes Tom Hardy and Michael Fassbender. No offers have been made for anyone to star in the movie (so why report it?), which is looking at a late March start with Len Wiseman behind the camera. The studio is contemporizing its adaptation of the original 1990 movie, which was based on a Philip K. Dick story, “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.” It followed 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.
