The reboot of Logan’s Run has found a screenwriter.
Will Beall has been tapped to pen the script for the film. Beall was given the nod by executives at Warner Brothers for the long in development reboot of the 70s genre film.
The project is based on the 1967 novel by William F. Nolan that was adapted memorably into the 1976 feature starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter and Farrah Fawcett. The hook is a future society where people are executed upon reaching a certain age and those that seek to avoid their fate are deemed “Runners.”
The character of Logan is one of those executioners, known as the Sandmen, who ends up on the run after he becomes sympathetic with members of an underground railroad of Runners.
The project has seen several directors and writers attached to and then leave the project.
This is one reboot that I feel might be better than the original. I was never impressed by the original special effects. Sorry, have to go, its my turn on carousel!
