"Logan's Run" Director ConfirmedPosted: August 21st, 2007 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
Variety has confirmed an earlier report that commercial director Joseph Kosinski will make his directorial debut on the sci-fi thriller "Logan's Run," which is being written by Tim Sexton.
"Logan's Run" is best remembered as the 1976 film, though it was based on a 1967 novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. 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.
While details of the new take are being kept secret, it is known that it will be low-tech science fiction in a futuristic setting and be closer to the book than the 1976 movie. The new film will tackle idea of the "greater good" and people devoting themselves to an ideology blindly, while keeping the novel's concepts of runners, Sanctuary and gangs outside the system.
The project had been set up at Warners since the mid-'90s but heated up in 2004 when Bryan Singer signed on to develop and direct with an eye toward a 2005 release. Singer had begun previsualization work on the project before he left to do "Superman Returns" for the studio. "Flightplan" director Robert Schwenke and James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) were helmers that had been associated with the project, which eventually fell off the radar.
Kosinski came into Warners with a presentation that included graphic art and animated previsualization that set the look, color, tone and style of the movie he wanted to make.

I can't wait to see the remake of Logan's Run, I hope the Director brings in somewhere in the movie the real original actors. Like maybe telling the story or something.
I loved this movie when I first saw it at the theater, I was a young man and was captured by hole future world plot as well as the young pretty Jenny Agutter, she had the most beautiful legs and pretty face, it was my first crush.
