Hollywood seems determined to give us a reboot of “Logan’s Run” whether we want it or not.
The project was originally supposed to be directed by Bryan Singer, but he bowed out to pursue other projects. We hadn’t heard much about it since then, but according to the Hollywood Reporter, the project is back on again with a new director.
Carl Rinsch is the name now attached to direct the movie, which is being produced by Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman. Silver told reporters last weekend during press interviews for “Splice”, which he also produced, that he was still eager to remake “Logan’s Run”. A script has been around for a while, although a new one will probably be written if the movie goes forward again.
Rinsch was in the running to direct the upcoming “Alien” prequels before Ridley Scott decided he’d direct them. He’s a commercial director whose been linked to several high profile projects but the “Logan” reboot would be his high profile, feature-length project.
forget about Logan’s Run – the good news is that Ridley Scott is doing the Alien prequels !
