Logan’s Run movie might grab Carl Rinsch

That’s right, it’s time to pull out the remake bin, and what do we find here? Why it’s the 1976 film Logan’s Run, based off the same-named novel by George Clayton Johnson and William F. Nolan. The whole take on a dystopian future, stopping overpopulation and the overall science fiction lure of it all definitely caught Hollywood’s eye, warranting a movie that gained mixed reviews. Though loved by quite a few, it was only a matter of time before it got thrown into the great remake stack that’s around today.

Warner Bros has been trying to get a remake of Logan’s Run off the ground for awhile. They may be in luck with the arrival of Carl Rinsch, director of upcoming features such as Creature from the Black Lagoon and 47 Ronin.

The original Logan’s Run film stars Michael York and Farrah Fawcett. The premise sees a future society that demands the death of everyone upon reaching a certain age. Anyone who veers from that destiny is dubbed a “runner” and is hunted by operatives known as Sandmen. Logan is a Sandman who is forced to go on the run (Heat Vision Blog).

Since this is nothing but talks at the moment, we’ll just have to wait and see if this finally gets off the ground. If not, then you can just add more months to the film seemingly stuck in development hell since the mid nineties.

Would you like to see a remake of Logan’s Run? Have you ever seen the film, and if so do you want them to not even bother?
