Sunshine Writer Joins Logan's Run Remake
bowman9991 writes "Remember to check your palm to ensure that your crystal hasn't gone black. If it has, you better start running. The 1976 science fiction classic Logan's Run, starring Michael York, is being remade in 3-D with British writer Alex Garland now onboard to write the screenplay. Garland's film Sunshine, directed by Danny Boyle, was one of the stand-out science fiction films of the last decade, and he wrote the screenplays for Leonardo DiCaprio's The Beach (based on Garland's own novel) and the science fiction horror 28 Days Later (a massive adrenaline rush of a movie). This should give first-time director Carl Rinsch some great material to work with — a great premise meets a great writer."
You need 3D for the 1970's titties.
There's nothing in Logan's Run that needs 3D.
Jenny Agutter's tits in 3D!
It doesn't work right if Carousel is in 2d; it has to be 3d!
I'll bet it will be great, until about half-way through, when the sunburned space zombie appears.

I agree. Silent running was far more of a masterpiece than Logans Run.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
The best part was the ending, when grandpa became a zombie, and the little girl was revealed to be a gray alien.
They don't need to make it, it's Ben Dune (been done)

They're still working on making sure there's an equivalent of Top Gun for every profession:
... etc.
Why can't the solar physicists get an unrealistic movie that makes them seem cool, too?
