From DHD – It looks like Warner Brothers will finally be making another Logan’s Run. A remake of the classic 70’s film has been rattling around Hollywood for years, but now, with Ryan Gosling signing on to star, and Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) set to direct from a script by Alex Garland (28 Days Later), the project is finally moving forward.
Based on the book by William F. Nolan, Logan’s Run is a futuristic drama about a man who tries to outrun the mandatory death sentence that awaits all 30-year olds (in the book it’s 21, but they changed it to 30 in the original movie to match star Michael York’s age, and they’ll keep it that way to match Ryan Gosling’s).
For fans of the original, here’s the trailer:
Book Jacket:
It’s the 23rd Century and at age 21… your life is over! Logan-6 has been trained to kill; born and bred from conception to be the best of the best. But his time is short and before his life ends he’s got one final mission: find and destroy Sanctuary, a fabled haven for those that chose to defy the system. But when Logan meets and falls in love with Jessica, he begins to question the very system he swore to protect and soon they’re both running for their lives. When Last Day comes, will you lie down and die… or run!
