Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale star in the remake of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie ‘Total Recall’, in cinemas now.
The glamourous cast made their way to Dublin for the European premiere of the movie two weeks ago, and Her.ie was there to soak up the atmosphere, and naturally snap some pictures too!
Now, we’ve got ten cute Total Recall vest tops to give away to lucky Her.ie readers. To enter, simply read the mini-profiles on the characters played by Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel in the movie, and answer the simple question below!

Lori (Kate Beckinsale)
To portray Quaid’s wife, Lori, the seemingly loving wife who turns ruthless killer, the filmmakers brought on Kate Beckinsale, director Len Wiseman’s real-life wife of seven years. The two previously worked together on the Underworld films.
Beckinsale said she was particularly attracted to this project because of the role’s duality. "I've never played a bad guy before. I've always been on the side of truth and justice,” she says. “But the thing is, my character thinks she is on the side of truth and justice. That’s the great thing about this movie – you never know who’s on the right side. Also, there's a slightly maniacal side of her – she's slightly out of control, and that's always fun for an actor to play."
Melina (Jessica Biel)
To portray Melina, the filmmakers needed an actress that could take on the difficult physicality of the role. Melina first appears in Quaid’s nightmares, but later, in the flesh, helps him rediscover his previous life. “She’s his GPS system – she shows him the way home,” says Farrell.
Wiseman brought on Jessica Biel to play the role. Biel was attracted to the part by the themes of the story. “We’re completely tapping into one element of what Philip K. Dick’s story is really about: identity issues, relationships,” Biel says. “He doesn’t remember her…He doesn’t remember that they love each other, that they are passionately connected. That’s what interested me.”
