Feb 13 2006Bryan Singer Still Logan's Running
While promoting Superman Returns this weekend, Bryan Singer dropped a reminder that he's still going to remake Logan's Run with his Usual Suspects co-writer, Christopher McQuarrie:
I'm taking concepts in the book and the movie, the 1976 movie, and some of my own concepts and merging them together for my interpretation. That's as best as I can say. It takes place in a unique environment, one we haven't seen in a movie before. In a mainstream movie before. ... If we do that, it would happen soon. It would happen as early as this year, the end of this year. I guess it would be for ... When would Logan's Run be for? ... 2008.
Though I can't remember if I actually like Logan's Run, or just the robot in it that keeps talking about protein from the sea, I'm definitely excited that Bryan Singer is remaking it.
For those that don't know, Logan's Run describes a distyopian future where the people are euthanized at the age of 21, or in the film version, 30. Let's hope Singer is smart enough to keep the age upped over 21; sci-fi nerds will never get behind a fictional society where they'd never lose their virginity.

Yes, but since 40 is the new 30, what will they do? In the future, 50 maybe the new 30, or even 60. They may need to retitle the movie "Logan's Fast-Paced Walk."

"Logan's Fast-Paced Walk"
I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.
