Jessica Biel has come a long way since first making a splash as one of the Camden’s on TV’s 7th Heaven, and today we learn that she may have the opportunity to foray as far as Mars.

Jessica Biel is circling a role opposite Colin Farrell in the pic. Sony has offered her the role,” but no discussions are under way. It’s unclear which role she would play.In the original 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger starrer, the femme leads were Sharon Stone as Lori, his supposed wife, a company agent; and Rachel Ticotin as Melina, a member of the rebels.
I like this news primarily because I think she could work pretty well opposite Colin Farrell. This movie still isn’t very high on the ‘radar’ as I’m not always a fan of re-do remakes or reboots but it’s not like this tidbit of possible casting is demoting its placement either. I think it’s going to be highly improbable for me to watch this film without comparing it to the 80’s version and probably over criticizing whatever changes they decide to make, but overall I’m still looking forward to seeing how this one turns out, even if just out of curiosity.
