From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A remake of the 1990 sci-fi film Total Recall will star Colin Farrell ( Crazy Heart, In Bruges), replacing the original star Arnold Schwarzenegger, producer Neal Moritz told Collider.com.
Set in a future world that is overcrowded with overbuilt high-tech cities, a man goes for a virtual vacation to the planet Mars, when a horrible series of events force him to head to the planet for real - or does he?
The film more closely follows the original story by Philip K. Dick, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," he said. The director is Len Wiseman ( Live Free or Die Hard).
The original Total Recall was directed by Paul Verhoeven ( Basic Instinct, Robocop).
The film starts shooting May 15 for release in 2012.
In 2011, Farrell is set to star in the comedy Horrible Bosses with Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Jamie Foxx, and Kevin Spacey, and the horror film Fright Night with Christopher Mintz-Plasse ( How To Train Your Dragon), Anton Yelchin ( Star Trek) and David Tennant ( Dr. Who).
He also signed on for the actor Brendan Gleeson's production of At Swim-Two Birds with Cillian Murphy ( Inception) and Michael Fassbender ( Inglourious Basterds).
