Len Wiseman to direct 'Total Recall' remake

By Stuart Oldham

Len Wiseman is in final talks to direct "Total Recall" for Columbia Pictures.

Neil H. Moritz will produce through his Original Films banner.

Based on the Philip K. Dick story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," the sci-fi actioner was first made into a feature in 1990 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Columbia's feature reboot will be a "new, contemporized" adaptation of the story.

Kurt Wimmer is penning the screenplay.

Wiseman last directed "Live Free or Die Hard" having previously helmed the "Underworld" pics.
