Suggestion : This time don't hire one overweight actor and one thin one. Kinda ruins the premise.

They need two actors with very distinctive acting styles to make the switch entertaining.
That being the case, I would go with Ryan Gosling and Rami Malek.
Or Keanu Reeves and Adam Driver.
Or Tom Hardy and Oscar Isaacs.
Or Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans.
Or Jeff Goldblum and Benedict Cumberbatch
Or Tom Hanks and Benicio Del Toro.
Or Will Smith and Mahershala Ali.
Or if they are going with a female reboot: Emma Stone and Brie Larson.
Or Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett.
Or Gal Gadot and Emily Blunt.
Or Saorise Ronan and Aubrey Plaza.
Or Michelle Rodriguez and Awkwafina.

I’m one of the few that never really cared for the original. I guess if he down for a reboot but the premise itself is a bit silly anyway so the chances of this being good are slim.
I also cant remember the last time a solidly made film was rebooted with anything other than a poor man’s attempt at a good film. Most reboots I’ve seen are just direct-to-video quality shit with lesser actors. This will come any go without many of us seeing it. This thread will be bumped for a day or two when it quickly hits Prime.

True Grit wasn't a reboot. It was an adaptation of a novel. It also wasn't anything to write home about.

Posting the Total Recall reboot movie poster twice is so meta!

They should make this a comedy starring Kevin Hart and The Rock. They should have good enough face swap effects to achieve this now.

Let me guess it'll be a gender swap. Also don't forget the doves.

Only part of the movie that really bothers me is at the end when Archer comes home with Troy's son, apparently without telling his wife. WTH?

He said, " This is Adam and he needs a place to live". Then she nods back okay.
