We've heard about the possibility of a new Logan's Run movie for a while now, but it looked like the project was dead after Ryan Gosling exited the remake last year. In news that's sure to get gamers and sci-fi fans more excited about the project, BioShock creator Ken Levine has been hired by Warner Bros. to write the script for a new version of Logan's Run.
Ken Levine started as a screenwriter, so this isn't unknown territory for him. As for why he decided to take some time off his gaming work, apparently this is a passion project for him and we're excited to see what he comes up with. At this time, there are no details on the direction the story will take, or if it will more closely follow the original book. While classic sci-fi fans should be familiar with the 1976 movie, starring Michael York, it was based on a book written by William F. Nolan & George Clayton Johnson in 1967.
Previously, Bryan Singer and Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) were attached to direct a remake, but both projects fell through. It's not known who Warner Bros. has in mind for this latest remake attempt.
