Carl Rinsch has left Logan's Run and working on another film.

The directors attached to Warner Brothers’ new proposed “Logan’s Run” remake have as short of a life as the characters in the film, and Carl Erik Rinsch is no exception. The commercial director, who was the latest attached to helm the remake of the 1976 movie, has left the project to instead concentrate on Universal’s ‘47 Ronin’ with Keanu Reeves, Slashfilm.com is reporting.

Now Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman, the producers of ‘Logan’s Run,’ are yet again looking for someone else to direct the movie, which was penned by ‘28 Days Later’ screenwriter Alex Garland. Other directors who have previously been attached to the film include Joseph Kosinski, Robert Schwentke and Bryan Singer.

I'd certainly be interested to see this movie.

If there's enough interest, it'll get made.

I have to admit, though: I think the premise of the film will have to change a little bit. These days, it's hard to picture a world with a 30-year old cut-off...

I have been watching quite a few older movies from the 30's 40's and 50's and am stunned by the acting and originality of Hollywood back in the day. I wish that good writing and original ideas would be the tone of the day out there and they would stop trying to remake classics. I hate the way they took "True Grit" and remade it.........C'mon how can you make John Wayne better? Or Darby for that matter?

Nicolas Winding Refn Directing Ryan Gosling in a New 'Logan's Run'

Deadline reports that Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn has secured the directing job on Silver Pictures' remake of the 1976 sci-fi Logan's Run. But that's not all, as Refn comes attached with actor Ryan Gosling, who is making his tentpole movie "leap" and starring in the sci-fi flick as Logan 5, a "Sandman" whose job it was to put to permanent sleep those who try to escape mandatory death.

This remake has been in development for quite a while, at one time with Carl Erik Rinsch attached to direct before he switched over to 47 Ronin. Silver Pictures' Joel Silver and Andrew Rona are producing with Weed Road's Akiva Goldsman, with Kerry Foster exec producing. Shooting will start in the fall after Refn finishes on Drive. I guess the good news is that Alex Garland's script is still in the mix, so we know we will have a fantastic story behind it, too. It's based on William F. Nolan's novel, though they've probably made drastic tweaks to various elements, as Gosling is now 30 and the original "age of extinction" in the book was 21. The sci-fi drama follows Logan 5 as he tries to outrun the mandatory death sentence that awaits all 30-year old's.

Last summer, Joel Silver said that it "should be a big 3D movie and it should be devised and shot in 3D," so that's what to expect.

Interesting looks like it is finally moving forward and does need an update.
