Los Angeles - Jessica Biel thinks Total Recall was due a remake.
The 29-year-old actress is set to star alongside Colin Farrell in a modern version of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, but she admitted not everyone is happy about the film being recreated.
She told WWD.com: "It's ripe for a remake. There are two camps, some who want a remake and some who think it should be left alone."
Prostitute
Jessica is set to star as prostitute Melina - who was previously played by Rachel Ticotin - in the motion picture, which will see Kate Beckinsale take up the role of Sharon Stone's old character Lori, with Len Wiseman directing the project.
The sci-fi movie, which is based on the book We Can Remember It for You Wholesale by Philip K. Dick, tells the story of a construction worker Doug Quaid (Colin) who thinks he is a secret agent.
Producer Neal Moritz recently revealed the latest adaptation of the film will follow the novel more than its predecessor.
He said: "It's closer to the book, the big different is we don't go to space. Instead of it being a spaceship that takes us to another planet, there's something that takes us from one side of the plane to another that's really interesting."
