Logan's Run

Almighty Colin · 01-27-2005

Someone besides me must have loved this movie as a kid.

Bryan Singer, director of X-Men 1 & 2 and The Usual Suspects has agreed to develop and direct a remake of Logan's Run.

I liked it as a kid. Though even then it seems rather hackneyed. That said, I can also imagine a remake with more grit and less cutsy would be a great improvement on the original.

Still one of the only PG movies to have brief nudity in it! Mmm. Jenny Agutter.

Evil Chris · 01-27-2005

I liked that movie as well. A remake probably won't break any box office records, but I'm sure it will be entertaining.

Example, The Time Machine. I'm a big fan of the original, and the re-make was pretty good too.

rand · 01-27-2005

Yup!

Someone I know in the biz told me about that weeks ago.

Logan's Run was one of those silly sci-fi films that stuck with you for some reason. I liked it as a kid. It wasn't quite "right" but was interesting all the same.

I hope the remake does justice to the story.

It's a cool story. Just done in that hokey 70s sorta way.

mmmmmmm, Michael York...er, I mean Jenny Agutter ;-)

Jesse_DD · 01-27-2005

I love that movie. I have mixed feeling on remaking what I consider classics. They really fucked up PLanet of the Apes. There is no need remaking some. I hope they do a good job with it.

Singer is also the writer, and sometimes director of the show "House" on fox. Needless to say, its a pretty slick show..

he also did both xmen movies.

remaking logans run would be awesome.

wasn't it a TV series?

Yeah, that too.

Logans's Run is one of my all time faves. Who as a kid wanted to shoot old people floating in the sky with a high powered gun?

Er, you all realize that by the schema of Logan's Run, most of us would be dead by now.

back to Ellis.... better? Less than Zero, or Rules of Attraction.

I've only read "American Psycho". I probably only read one fiction book a year. I can't remember why I read "American Psycho". Maybe it was something Nick said. Or did.

if you liked his writing style, the other books are fast reads. like watching a movie after being lit up for 2 hours and running on a treadmill.

Does pretty good have a different meaning in Canada ? I was very let down by Time Machine.

Logans Run remake will be interesting, but I am always wary of remakes.

Favorite Pun in remakes:

Charlton Heston is the only Ape with a gun.

I really enjoyed the short story. I liked the movie. I didn't love it because I had read the story before seeing the movie.

I hope they do a better job with the remake. While Michael York was an okay choice, I wonder who they will choose to play his role.

Course, I would bet it's not easy turning a very short story into a two hour movie. What was it? I can't remember how long the actual story, The Lottery, was....and why couldn't they just call it by the real title? I never quite 'got' that.
