According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kurt Wimmer, writer/director of sci-fi action films Equilibrium and Ultraviolet has been tapped by Columbia pictures to pen the upcoming remake of Total Recall.

Wimmer will be trying to write a “contemporized adaptation” of “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale”, the Philip K. Dick story that inspired the original Total Recall, which was directed by Paul Verhoeven (The Surrogate) and starred “Governator” Arnold Schwarzenegger.
