Andrew Baldwin will write a new draft of the script for Producer
Joel Silver 's
Logan's Run remake says
THR
William F. Nolan and
George Clayton Johnson wrote the original 1967 novel (and its two subsequent sequels
Logan's World and
Logan's Search, ) 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.
The remake has attracted potential directors such as
Bryan Singer,
Robert Schwentke,
James McTeigue Joseph Kosinski and
Carl Rinsch during its long stall in development--before stablizing with
Nicolas Winding Refn and his frequent leading man,
Ryan Gosling ready to guide the remake.
Screenwriters including
Alex Garland and
Will Beall (
Gangster Squad) have worked on the script at different points of time.
The premise was made into a
1976 cult film classic starring
Michael York ("
The Three Musketeers"),
Jenny Agutter ("
Walkabout") and
Farrah Fawcett ("
Charlie's Angels").
