Jessica Biel (The Illusionist) and Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) have officially signed on to play the female leads, Melina and Lori respectively, in Columbia Pictures’ Total Recall remake.

Biel and Beckinsale will star opposite Colin Farrell (Phonebooth), Bryan Cranston (Little Miss Sunshine) and Ethan Hawke (Before Sunset).

As the nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai vie for supremacy, a factory worker (Farrell) begins to suspect that he’s a spy, though he is unaware which side of the fight he’s on.

Len Wiseman is attached to direct the remake, which is expected to start filming next Monday in Toronto.

Total Recall is scheduled to be released in the UK on August 22, 2012.
