Breaking news coming in today as Ryan Gosling is currently finalizing the deal with Warner Bros. to take the lead in the upcoming remake of the 1976 classic Sci-Fi thriller Logan’s Run.

Rumors have been abound for years on this project and who will take the lead, but it looks like the Warners and producer Joel Silver have found their Logan 5. From Deadline.

Warner Bros is finalizing a deal with Ryan Gosling to reunite with his Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn on Logan’s Run, the remake of the 1976 futuristic drama about a man who tries to outrun a mandatory death sentence that awaits  all 30-year old’s. After a distinguished run in mostly independent films, Gosling’s making the jump to a studio tent pole. Production starts in the fall.

Amanda Seyfried Joins Fox’s ‘I’m.mortal’

by Joe Gillis, Jul 13 2010 // 2:00 PM

Ever since Tina Fey’s Mean Girls, we’ve been pretty big fans of Amanda Seyfried. She went over to Big Love while she found her stride in Hollywood, then continued on more serious projects like Chloe and the box office smash Dear John. Now Seyfried is dipping into the world of sci-fi with Fox’s I’m.mortal.

The premise sounds a bit like Logan’s Run with a twist, which isn’t much of a problem seeing as how we may never get our Logan’s Run remake. Variety spells out the details of the plot.

In “I’m.mortal,” time has become the currency. Once you turn 25 and your aging gene turns off, you must buy and bank time. If you are rich enough, you can live forever. But if you run out of time, you are engineered to die automatically.

When a rebel from the ghetto is falsely accused of murdering a wealthy man for his time, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful, rich hostage (Seyfried). Together, this duo rages against the system, living minute to minute. They discover that love is more powerful than all the time in the world.

The Flickcast’s ‘On the Radar’

by Bob Starr, Jun 18 2010 // 5:00 PM

Welcome to this week’s On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage this week. Let is know if we missed something.

• Yeah, we kinda feel the same way about Jonah Hex. Where did it all go so wrong? We know it isn’t Megan Fox’s fault, so what is is?

• Do you want a cool action figure featuring one of your favorite characters from Firefly Captain Malcolm Reynolds? If so, this isn’t it.

• You say you like Predators and can’t wait for Robert Rodriguez’s version to come out? Until then, check out these pics of the new/old Predators.

• A company has produced bars of soap in the shape of Han Solo in Carbonite. Sadly, more male users will buy this product than female.

• There’s something to be said about the originality of the newest wave of XXX parodies. At least, our inner teenager is excited for The Breakfast Club: A XXX Parody.

• Everybody loves True Blood. Even Snoop Dogg…for some reason. Oh, wait . . .

‘Logan’s Run’ Reboot Back On Track With New Director

by Chris Ullrich, May 27 2010 // 12:00 PM

For a time it looked like director Brian Singer was going to bring a reboot of Logan’s Run to the big screen. But then, the project seemed to stall as Singer’s interest turned to other projects (like Superman Returns or Battlestar Galactica). But now, it would seem the project is back on the fast track at Warner Bros. and even has a new director: Carl Rinsch.

Don’t worry if you can’t quite place the name because although he’s a big name in the commercial directing world, Rinsch has never done a feature film before. Logan’s Run would be his first. Although, he has been attached to films previously including the Alien prequel, before Ridley Scott decided he wanted that one, and 47 Ronin for Universal.

For those of you who don’t know about Logan’s Run, it was already a 1976 film starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter and Farrah Fawcett and is based on a 1967 novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. The story concerns a future society that decrees death to anyone reaching a certain age. If you try to fight this edict, you are dubbed a “runner” and hunted by a pseudo police force known as Sandmen. Logan is a Sandman who is forced to go on the run. Hence Logan’s Run.

Now that Rinsch is supposedly on board, development will turn to crafting an acceptable script. If all goes well, expect to see Logan’s Run hit theaters late next year.
