Although Clive Owen seems to like to see himself as an action star, the rest of the world doesn’t appear to be as convinced. That doesn’t mean he’s going to give up though, as he’s attached to Recall, based on a script by Taxi Driver writer, Paul Schrader.
Variety reports that the film is currently doing the rounds at the American Film Market, and will see Owen as an NSA agent involved in a botched hostage rescue situation. Afterwards he’s got a bit of amnesia, but as his memory begins to returns and he starts looking for the truth, he realises he can’t trust anyone, or even his own brain. Hmm, already sounds a bit cheesy, but we’ll give it the benefit of the doubt.
Harold Becker (Mercury Rising) is set to direct, with shooting planned for next March.
