Kate Beckinsale has been offered one of the female leads in the Total Recall remake prompting Len Wiseman to fall to his knees and scream to the heavens because he was just about to start principal photography on Underworld 32. Just kidding, Len Wiseman is directing this one too. Wait. Ahhh! From Deadline:
I’m told she’s been offered to play Lori, who was portrayed in the 1990 Paul Verhoeven-directed actioner by Sharon Stone. In fact, that role really launched Stone’s star after she transformed from the happy spouse of Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) into someone completely different.
Both that role and the role of Melina (played in the original by Rachel Ticotin) has drawn high interest from actresses. I’ve heard that Eva Mendes and Rosario Dawson are the serious contenders for the latter role.
That’s all well and good but there’s only one casting I care about and that’s “who’s going to play the triple tittied chick?” I’d like to suggest Scarlett Johansson but that may seem too obvious a choice.
