LOGAN'S RUN - PREVIEW 

Logan's Run (2010)

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

Once rumored to be director Bryan (X-Men, X2) Singer's next movie, but word has it that James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) is interested now that Singer is busy with the Superman Returns sequel. 

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. (Of course in the source novel the expiration age is 21.)

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

Update: This project seem s to be stuck in development heck right now as director Singer is going ahead with a sequel to Superman Returns titled Man of Steel instead.
