Will Colin Farrell Make it to Mars in 'Total Recall'?
New synopsis for the sci-fi remake indicates it will take place on Earth
instead of the red planet

The recently released synopsis for Columbia Pictures' "Total Recall" remake almost identically describes
the original film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
However, one crucial word is missing: "Mars."
Nary a scene in the Colin Farrell-starring movie will take place on
the red planet, TheWrap has confirmed. Instead, all the events will transpire on
Earth.

That means the remake won't be reviving one of the most memorable quotes from
the original: "Get your ass to Mars."
The remake is directed by Len Wiseman ("Live Free or Die Hard") from a script by Kurt
Wimmer ("Salt"). Like the original, it is based on the
Philip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," which was
first published in 1966.
Neal H. Moritz is producing the remake through his company Original Films.
Toby Jaffe will oversee the project.
