Unlike the original 1990 film, the plot of this new version lacks a trip to Mars and contains strong political overtones. In addition, the film also blends Western and Eastern influences together, due to the fact that the two nation states, New Shanghai and Euroamerica are battling for political power.

It is directed by Len Wiseman and written by Mark Bomback, James Vanderbilt and Kurt Wimmer. It was first announced in 2009. It is scheduled to be released in the United States and Canada on August 3, 2012. Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel and Bryan Cranston star.

In 2084, After being devastated by war, Earth is divided into two superpowers – The United Federation of Britain and New Asia – locked in a battle for supremacy. In this world lives Douglas Quaid, a simple factory worker suffering from violent nightmares who, after a visit to the Rekall Corporation that provides its clients with implanted artificial memories of the lives they'd like to have, begins to suspect that he's a spy whose memory and personality were erased and replaced, though he is unaware which side of the fight he's on.

On June 2, 2009, Variety reported that Kurt Wimmer would write the script for the remake. Mark Bomback also co-wrote and James Vanderbilt did a «polish» on the script. Over a year later Len Wiseman was hired to direct. Paul Cameron is the film's cinematographer and Christian Wagner is the film's editor. The soundtrack will again be a collaboration of Harry Gregson-Williams and Welsh electronica group Hybrid.

In August 2010, Arnold Schwarzenegger expressed an interest in reprising his role as Doug Quaid until October 2010, when it was officially reported The Hollywood Reporter that Colin Farrell was on the top of the short list,.
