The other lead female role is of Melina, played by Rachel Ticotin in the original film. Eva Mendes and Rosario Dawson have emerged as front-runners in the remake. Earlier this month, Jessica Biel was offered one of the leads, but apparently it didn’t work out.
Total Recall will begin shooting next month for a August 3rd, 2012 release.
