Ethan Hawke Joins Colin Farrell in Total Recall Remake

According to Heat Vision, Ethan Hawke will appear in the forthcoming remake ofTotal Recall, starring Colin Farrell.
Details about Hawke’s role are being kept secret for the time being, but according to THR it is only a cameo.
Hawke, of course, is no stranger to science fiction and genre films, having appeared in both Gattaca and, more recently, the vampire film Daybreakers.
Total Recall is based on the 1990 Paul Verhoeven adaptation of the short Philip K. Dick story, “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale.” The original starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as Douglas Quaid (to be played by Colin Farrell in this version), 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.
As the story unfolds, 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.
Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel are in negotiations for the female leads in the film, which will shoot in Toronto beginning in June.
The Len Wiseman-helmed film is slated to open theatrically on August 3, 2012.
