Bryan Cranston Will Play Total Recall’s Villain

While his AMC colleagues at Mad Men wait around to hear when they’ll begin shooting again and whether they should take other jobs during their hiatus, Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston is keeping busy. The Hollywood Reporter reports that in between seasons, Cranston has signed on to play the villainous Vilos Cohaagen in Len Wiseman’s remake of Total Recall, where he’ll star opposite Colin Farrell. Notably, though, this version appears to be leaving out the trip to Mars, instead casting Cranston as the warmongering leader of nation-state Euromerica. Does this mean we’ll be losing Kuato and the three-breasted hooker, too? (If everyone in this movie has a standard two breasts, we’re going to be very upset.) [Heat Vision/HR]
