Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston To Star As The Villain Opposite Colin Farrell In The ‘Total Recall’ Reboot
Mar 30th
Heat Vision report that Breaking Bad’s three-time Emmy winner Bryan Cranston is set to play the villain opposite Colin Farrell in Sony Pictures’ Total Recall remake/reboot. The project is said to be a ‘contemporized adaptation’ of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger genre classic, which was based on the Philip K. Dick story, “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale”.
The new story involves nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai, with Douglas Quaid (Farrell) a factory worker in the latter who begins to believe he is a spy, although he doesn’t know for which side.
Cranston would play Vilos Cohaagen, the leader of Euromerica who, under the cover of protecting his people, is secretly readying an invasion of New Shanghai.
Both Cranston and Farrell are quality actors, this casting news gets my thoroughly unimportant important stamp of approval. Hollywood is excelling at remakes, I’m sure one day they would have rebooted and remade every memorable film from the past three decades, and I’m sure when that day comes they’ll be rebooting the reboots and remaking the remakes…….or even start producing remakequels!

As a young man, Jacob Jankowski was tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It was the early part of the great Depression, and for Jacob, now ninety, the circus world he remembers was both his salvation and a living hell. A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an untrainable elephant who was the great gray hope for this third-rate traveling show. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and, ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.
