WRITER and DIRECTOR:
CHRISTOPHER NOLAN
Credentials: Inception, Dark Knight
Reason Why: Nolan's style is all about sophistication, many would argue, successfully i might add, that it is realism, but in all honesty it's sophistication and the reason why he brings things to a realistic level is so that non batman fans would understand everything. Personally his style would suit a Total Recall Remake so damn well it's not funny. He is my number one choice as writer and director.
MATT DAMON AS DOUGLAS QUAID/HAUSER
Credentials: The Bourne Trilogy
Reason Why: Ever since hearing about the remake and seeing the Original Matt Damon has become my number one choice for Quaid. He's a good actor under the right director and under Christopher Nolan I think he would do absolutely fantastic as Doug Quaid.
ROSARIO DAWSON AS MELINA
Credentials: Sin City
Reason Why: She's a fantastice Actress and beautiful, Out of a lot of actresses i could see her best playing Melina. She's not a lot of people's number one for it but she is for me.
MARION COTILLARD AS KATHERINE (LORI)
Credentials: Inception
Reason Why: She would be absolutely perfect, I know a lot of people would put her as Melina but I think she's best when playing bad girls. I renamed the character Katherine as she was named in "We Can Remember it For you Wholesale"
MALCOLM MCDOWELL AS VILOS COHAAGEN
Credentials: Star Trek Genesis, (Halloween Remake)
Reason Why: Intelligence and Evil have no better form than Malcolm he's got by far everything one could look for in the role of Cohaagen. I do whole heartedly believe he would be perfect.
TIM ROTH AS RICHTER
Credentials: The Incredible Hulk, Pulp Fiction
Reason Why: If anyone is to replace Michael Ironside in what can be considered one of his most dynamic performances it has to be Roth i can just see the Mad Dogness in his eyes that Richter had, he'd be absolutely perfect for this.
DILEEP RAO AS BENNY
Credentials: Inception
Reason Why: Even though this is a bit part this is the comic relief part to give the audiences a few chuckles here and there. Dileep did just that in Inception he had the same weirdness to him as i could see Benny having.
KELSEY GRAMMER AS QUATO
Credentials: Frasier, Swing Vote
Reason Why: His voice is iconic, he's got the mannerisms and feel of intelligence. I could see him voicing the revolutionary leader as well as playing the host holding him.
CLIVE OWEN AS MCCLANE
Credentials: The Bourne Identity
Reason Why: Aaron Ekhart was my first choice but I really wanted to cast Clive Owen and originally he was Richter but i thought he'd be better Suited for this role and absolutely loved the idea.
