Rinsch Exits Logan’s Run Director’s Chair

Carl Eric Rinsch is not on board to direct Logan’s Run for Warner Bros. Pictures anymore. Instead he will devote his energy on Universal’s 47 Ronin, which is a go picture.

To star Keanu Reeves, 47 Ronin is an epic period film based on the true tale of a band of samurai swordsmen who avenged the death of their master in 18th century Japan. It is scheduled for a November 21, 2012 release.

Logan’s Run is expected to be low-tech science fiction in a futuristic setting and hew closer to the book than the 1976 movie. The premise sees a future society that demands the death of everyone upon reaching a certain age. Anyone who veers from that destiny is dubbed a “runner” and is hunted by operatives known as Sandmen. Logan is a Sandman who is forced to go on the run.

Warner Bros. has not set a release date yet for the film, which was was written by Alex Garland.
