Finally, confirmation: Columbia Pictures’ Total Recall is to shoot in Toronto from May 15.

Neil Moritz, who is producing the modern remake of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzennegar-starrer (pictured), told The Collider website that Len Wiseman will direct Total Recall in Toronto, with Colin Farrell top-lining the pricey FX-heavy shoot.

Farrell was earlier tapped as the lead in another spring 2011 Toronto shoot, David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis.

But Farrell moving over to Total Recall opened the way for Robert Pattinson to step into the Cosmopolis lead role, opposite Marion Cotttilard and Paul Giamatti.

Executives at Toronto Pinewood Studios remain tight-lipped about whether Total Recall will shoot in the mega-studio, as has been rumored in earlier media reports.
