Carl Rinsch To Remake "LOGAN'S RUN"
Acclaimed commercials and shorts director Carl Erik Rinsch is set to helm a new version of sci-fi classic "LOGAN'S RUN" for Warner Bros. Pictures reports Heat Vision.William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson penned the original 1967 novel (and its two subsequent sequels) set in a utopian future where anyone over the age of 30 is mandatorily euthanized in order to maintain a balance over the consumption of resources. The story follows Logan 5, a 'Sandman' who serves as an enforcer who pursues those who try escaping as they approach their 30th birthday, and ultimately ends up on the run himself.
Most people remember the property via the 1976 cult film classic starring Michael York. "X-MEN" helmer Bryan Singer was developing a new film adaptation back in 2004 but work on "SUPERMAN RETURNS" ground things to a halt.

Logan is such a man and with several years before his own termination date, thinks nothing of the job he does. Soon after meeting a young woman, Jessica-6, he is ordered to become a runner himself and infiltrate a community outside the dome known as Sanctuary and to destroy it. Pursued by his friend Francis, also a Sandman, Logan and Jessica find their way to the outside. There they discover a beautiful...
