Columbia Pictures is remaking the 1990 thriller Total Recall, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Kurt Wimmer, who scripted the 1999 version of The Thomas Crown Affair starring Pierce Brosnan, has been hired to work on an updated Total Recall, according to trade paper The Hollywood Reporter.

Columbia Pictures has said the remake will be a "contemporized adaptation." It has not said who will be starring in the main role.

Wimmer also wrote Salt, a spy thriller starring Angelina Jolie that is currently in production.
Based on a Philip K Dick story, We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, the Schwarzenegger film follows a man who has a persistent dream about travelling to Mars and being with a woman he has never met.

The man's life begins to unravel after he decides to go to a company that sells virtual adventures by implanted false memories. Schwarzenegger's character decides to buy a trip to Mars in which he plays a spy.

The movie continually teases the audience as to what may be real or imagined.

The film, which also starred Sharon Stone and Rachel Ticotin, became a cult classic.
