On January 11, 2011, it was announced that Colin Farrell had secured the role. Farrell stated in April that the remake would not be the same as Dick’s short story.

Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston will play the film’s villain. Ethan Hawke has been cast in a cameo role in which he says his character has a monologue about 5 pages long. Bill Nighy is in negotiations to play Kuato. John Cho has also joined the cast.
