Ready for a 'Total Recall' remake?

Film is the latest to get remake treatment.

Paul Verhoeven's 1990 sci-fi flick "Total Recall" will be recycled into a contemporary version for Columbia Pictures.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Neal H. Moritz is in talks to produce the remake of the film that was based on Philip K. Dick's story and starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The original was set in the year 2084 and followed a man who goes to Mars via a memory implant and discovers the truth about himself.

"Total Recall" grossed about $119 million domestically.

The trade also says Moritz hopes the current technology and advanced visual effects will help in giving the film a refreshing, updated look.

Moritz's recent producing credits include "I Am Legend," "Vantage Point" and "Fast & Furious."
