Logan’s Run: The Teen Years

Logan’s Run: The Teen Years

I last mentioned the plan to remake Logan’s Run in August, and it looks like although there’s been no news on it since then it’s still “on.”

MTV Movies sat down with producer Joel Silver and they chatted about his vision for the remake.

Disclaimer: I have not read the orginal story that the movie was based on.

In the original film, the story was about a society consisting exclusively of young people. At age 30 they would go to “Carousel,” which they thought was a passage to some higher level of existence, and thus went willingly, but was in fact forced euthanasia and they were just killed instead. It was an interesting concept and for its time (pre-Star Wars) it was a really cool flick. Sure, it’s a bit dated looking now so I’m not totally opposed to the idea of a remake…

But I really don’t like Silver’s idea for the movie.

Tron 2: A Tough Road Ahead

Tron 2: A Tough Road Ahead

A few days ago news of a new Tron movie started popping up on the net and today we have more detail on what’s happening with the movie.

The original Tron came out 25 years ago (if you can believe it!), released by Disney and went on to become a cult hit. The story was about a videogame developer (Jeff Bridges) who was sucked into the virtual reality world of computers, where he discovered that the programs there were actually sentient and living under the dictatorship of the Master Control Program. At the time the effects and concept were both cutting edge. Keep in mind that at the time the movie was released, the big games in arcades were Pac-Man and the first version of Donkey Kong!

Logan’s Run To Be A Two Hour Long Commercial

Logan’s Run To Be A Two Hour Long Commercial

Ok, so not really – but the guy who’s been handed the keys to the movie, Joseph Kosinski has only directed commercials up until this point. Logan’s Run will be his first feature film.

Peter over at /Film put together a number of videos highlighting Kosinski’s commercial work. My impression of them is that for the most part they are quite classy and visually interesting… but in the end, boring.

Most of them do have a futuristic and antiseptic sci-fi vibe to them that is probably one of the reasons he was tapped to helm this. I just hope he brings a lot more life to the movie than he has in the commercial material he’s created.
