Via Deadline today, we're hearing that the long-rumored Logan's Run remake is finally getting some momentum, with Ryan Gosling attached to star and Nicolas Winding Refn attached as director. The previously worked together on the upcoming action film Drive, due this fall, so the partnership makes sense.
For those who don't remember, the 1976 movie (based on the book by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson) is set in a future in which society has moved underground and all those who reach the age of 30 must submit to a deadly ritual called "carousel." Gosling (who just turned 30 himself) will play Logan 5, a "Sandman" whose job is to catch the geezers who try to escape their fate. That is, until he is forced to become a runner himself.
Silver Pictures' Joel Silver and Andrew Rona are producing with Weed Road's Akiva Goldsman, with Kerry Foster exec producing. According to Deadline, production starts in the fall.
