\"\"<\/a>There’s another director for Warner’s perpetually in development Logan’s Run<\/strong> remake. This time it is a commercials director Carl Erik Rinsch, who had been previously tapped to relaunch 20th Century Fox’s Aliens<\/strong> franchise before being pushed out by the studio in favor of Ridley Scott.<\/p>\n

Based a bit loosely on the 1967 novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson, the 1976 film depicted a future world where it was considered the height of community service, and somewhat mandatory, to commit a form of ritual suicide on one’s 30th birthday. Those who refuse are hunted by the police-like Sandmen. But as one Sandman’s (Michael York) own thirtieth birthday approaches, he begins to reconsider the rules of society and decides to run for a rumored place of safety called Sanctuary.<\/p>\n

Rinsch has cut his teeth in commercials and received a bit of buzz last spring with the release of his short film The Gift<\/strong>, embedded below. There was even brief talk about the short being expanded to feature length. Rinsch was briefly in contention to film X-Men: First Class<\/strong> for Fox before the studio went with Kick-Ass<\/strong> director Matthew Vaughn. Rinsch finally landed a feature directing gig at Universal with a remake of the Japanese samurai film 47 Ronin<\/strong>, which is currently in pre-production. Rinsch is expected to move over to Logan’s Run<\/strong> following that film’s wrap.<\/p>\n

Warners have been trying to get their Logan’s Run<\/strong> redo off the ground since in the mid-1990s. it wasn’t until 2004 that the project got any real traction when Bryan Singer came on board, though his involvement ceased due to his work on Superman Returns<\/strong>. Joseph Kosinski was the next to occupy the position<\/a> before being distracted by his Tron: Legacy<\/strong> duties over at Disney. Both Flightplan<\/strong> director Robert Schwentke and James McTeigue were also briefly attached.<\/p>\n
