Kate Beckinsale has been offered the role of Lori in Columbia Pictures’ Total Recall remake.

If she accepts, she will star opposite Colin Farrell (In Bruges) and Bryan Cranston (Drive) in the sci-fi adventure film.

Total Recall involves nation states Euromerica and New Shanghai, with Douglas Quaid (Farrell) a factory worker in the latter who begins to believe he is a spy, although he doesn’t know for which side.

Deadline are also reporting that Eva Mendes and Rosario Dawson are the hot contenders to land the other female role: freedom fighter Melina.

Len Wiseman will direct the remake, which is expected to hit cinemas on August 12, 2012.

Beckinsale will next be seen in Underworld 4: New Dawn.
