According to the producer, they are aiming for a less violent take on the story.

In an interview with Empire, Toby Jaffe said: "The more expensive a film is, the harder it is now to make it that violent. With Recall in particular, we made a conscious choice to keep it tonally closer to something like Minority Report. It gives the studio, and us as producers, the opportunity to reintroduce it in a new way."

What is cool, however, is that Jaffe menionts the "jump suits" featured in Robert Heinlein's book: "Working in a visual-efects renaissance as we are, we have the ability to do so much more now. We can do the Jump Suits [armoured exoskeletons from Heinlein's novel], for example, which I don't think they could have done before."

No word on a release date or director but Thor and X-Men: First Class screenwriters Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz have written the script.

Unless they intend to make it faithful to the book (which I don't think would actually make a good movie as it doesn't have the necessary blockbuster-movie tropes), I see no need. In short, I see no need whatsoever. Of course, I'm a hypocritical oldfag on new reboots, while at the same time I like my generation reboots, so...

And I also loathe that Invasion CGI thing. I think.

Seriously, this did not need a reboot.
