from the ‘let’s remake every film every made files..’
Logan’s Run the classic 1976 movie where everyone over a certain age is eliminated to keep the population under control..is being remade. Multiple news sources (with Reuters being the key) are reporting that the remake is now in full swing.Commercials veteran Joseph Kosinski will make his directorial debut on the sci-fi thriller, which has been in the works at the studio since the mid-’90s.
Sure the pacing of the 1976 movie may be a bit slow by today’s standards but Logan’s Run is a concept film and it still holds up well to the test of time.
Well the movie does…70’s trailer…not so much..but check it out for yourself below:

(thnx for keeping me on my toes!)
“Logan’s Run” is one of the few cases where a remake is actually not such a bad idea. The original was a complete mess (other than the lovely Jenny Agutter), cursed with Michael York as the lead. I know one of the chaps who was in the running to work on the screenplay of the new version and he pitched a notion that the Freemen, the enforcers who keep people from running, are like Nazi goons and the new society much more fascistic in outlook. I think it would have made for an interesting movie but I think the producers will go with a “dumbed down” script as usual. When was the last time there was a genuinely GOOD science fiction movie that didn’t insult the audience’s intelligence?
Whoops! Sorry, fellow sci fi geeks, the enforcers in “Logan’s Run” were the Sandmen (not Freemen). Eesh! Shame on me…
