Total Recall remake

Spied off my radar that they're releasing a re-make of Total Recall sometime next year. Colin Farrell will lead the  cast in the quite famous Philip K.Dick's short story 'We Can Remember it For You Wholesale'. Notable cast list includes Eva Mendes and Diane Kruger (most probable role would be The Wife/ Sharon Stone, yea blonde similarity) Len Wiseman (Underworld trilogies and Die Hard 4) will be directing and truth be told, I sure hope he  picked a few tricks ever since. No doubt, the action would be over the top (re: Live Free Or Die Hard), but my 2 cents worth?
Why bother?
Why re-making this?
Total Recall imho is a definite classic in the sci fi genre.
Of course, 22 years down the road, the re-make will have better visuals (and maybe 3D, unless it might make people puking out the popcorns 20 minutes into the movie) but hey, that's just basically it.
