From the Actress Archives:
http://www.actressarchives.com/news.php?id=7519"Kosinski has directed spots for Nike, Apple, and Nintendo, and came into Warner Brothers with a pitch for Logan's Run that included graphic art and animated previsualizations of the look, color, tone, and style of the movie he wanted to make. Warner was excited at the virtual world ideas brought in by Kosinski after the success of their 300. Logan's Run could be the sci-fi version of 300. Get excited."
Hmmmm -
LR - a SciFi version of the film '300'. Wasn't '300' mostly done against green-screen?

"LR - a SciFi version of the film '300'. Wasn't '300' mostly done against green-screen? "
Yes Logan5 it was. It's why I have my doubts at this time. I have the feeling that Logan's Run will all be cgi greenscreened in. Nothing real to relate to.

I was wondering "Why would Warners let a inexpirenced filmaker on a major motion picture?"
I found the answer in wikipedia. It's not pretty, but sadly makes perfect sense. Scroll down to Remake and scrool down further and then read the last sentence.

:censored: Nice to know that "they" think so highly of making a low budget film. Please , why bother if it's going to wind a with a "Directed by Alan Smithee" attached to it?

I see shades of something dangerously similar to the dreaded "Rollerball" remake all over this thing....
Wow - talk about a total 180 degree turn --
Something that was originially going to be a Hi-Tech, hi-budget Bryan Singer LR remake is now a low-tech, lo-budget Joseph Kosinski one.... :wtf:
getting extremely nervous now --- :shake:
Thank God I still have "The Island" to watch! That's my fun, hi-tech version of a Logan's Run remake.
Wonder if this means they're gonna go with cheap unknown actors too....

Sure. Cheap, unknown, adrogenous actors acting against a green screen so everything gets greenscreened in. Expect everthing to be cheap cgi. Will make the Rollerball remake look like the orginial by comparison. Not good.

Not to sound like I am beating a dead horse on this particular subject, but it is what I have said all along.
A remake of the classic film would not be the wisest thing to do. Judging from what I have read of those articles, it does sound like such a remake would be as bad as the remake of Rollerball.
For the sake of artistic quality, integrity, and originality, Warner Brothers should just leave the MGM classic the way it is.
With the disturbing trend of remakes that have been churned out by Hollywood the past several years, the industry has hardly seen any brighter days.
If you have seen Rob Zombie's remake of John Carpenter's Halloween(a classic in its own right), you'll see what I mean.
The 1978 film was just fine the way it was, until Zombie had gotten a hold of it.
