Logan's Run May Have Found Its Director
According to Mike Fleming at Deadline.com, the director of the remake of Logan's Run could be Carl Erik Rinsch.
Writes Fleming, "Rinsch pitched his own take on Logan's Run, and the studio will soon hire a big writer to draft a version that is closer to the novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. The age of the protagonist will be closer to the book, where the protagonist realized he was going to be killed on his 21st birthday and fled. The original movie changed the age to be closer to that of the film's star, Michael York. He played Sandman 5, a killer employed to track down and exterminate anyone who tries to escape a mandatory death sentence when they reach a certain age. That's the only drawback of serene life in a domed city that protects the inhabitants who survived a holocaust in the 23rd Century. Overcrowding necessitates adults to choose to become runners who try to survive outside the bubble, or choose the "Carousel"--billed as a rebirth, but actually a death sentence. Sandman 5 poses as a runner, but discovers the outside world is worth saving. He then is pursued by another Sandman."
