LOGAN'S RUN - PREVIEW 

Logan's Run (2010)

Starring: To be announced
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Rated: Unrated
U.S. Opening Date: 2010

Once rumored to be director Bryan (X-Men, X2) Singer's next movie, but first-time commercial director Joseph Kosinski is now set to direct. (Kosinski will direct a Tron sequel after that.)

It is of course a remake of a pre-Star Wars 1970s movie of the same name that, although fondly remembered by ageing thirtysomethingers, wasn't really all that good. Plot involves a future society in which people go for "renewal" (i.e., state-assisted suicide) at the age of 30. In the source novel the expiration age is 21, by the way.

Leonardo diCaprio was once rumored to be Logan at a previous stage of the film's development, but is definitely too old now . . .
