I don't remember if anyone posted this or not but here's an update anyway...

Kurt Wimmer to pen 'Total Recall' update

Neal H. Moritz producing
By Borys Kit and Jay A. Fernandez

June 2, 2009, 06:37 PM ET
Kurt Wimmer has been tapped to write Columbia's new version of "Total Recall," which Neal H. Moritz is developing and producing through his Original Films banner.

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.

The studio is keeping mum on the new take, simply calling a "contemporized adaptation."

Contemporized how? Politically? Technologically? That's a very vague statement.

Contemporized?

Because the original was made so long ago?

Contemporized probably means "Starring Zac Efron."

i hope they remake jaws, a cg looking shark would be better, could you imagine how much better this movie would look shot with a bluescreen!!!! i also hope they remake ET while there at it, cause that film needs a reboot as well. Maybe even redoing the Goonies, cast the jonas bros, and hanna montana as some of the cast, be a huge hit! Even the godfather series could even use a new version, lol ok....ok... im jk on all of this ranting.... im ust tired of hollywood remaking all of these movies already...... the old ones are good on there own.... not that total recall was a mater peace are anything, but as a action movie fan it one of my favorites, one of the those cult following type movies. cheesy action sometimes is good

I can see it now: Paris Hilton as Mary Poppins. That's contemporized!

I think a remake for Slumdog Millionaire is desperately needed at this point! That movie is so last year.

i wish hollywood would stop making ''remakes''!
are they not able to think up something new or is it the quick buck?
