New Writer on 'Logan's Run'

Logans_RunTV_2According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alex Garland (28 DAYS LATER) is in talks to write a new screenplay to the LOGAN’S RUN update that Warner Brothers Pictures still seems keen to make, after a long time in development with a number of writers and potential directors.
The article suggests that the studio and producers Joel Silver (THE MATRIX) and Akiva Goldsman (BATMAN FOREVER) want the story to be truer to William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson’s 1967 novel Logan’s Run.
The 1976 film and 1977 -78 TV series from MGM concentrated on the more simplisitic “Fugitive” chase aspects of the dysutopian future world.
