Warner Bros. Adds Another Writer To Logan's Run

HeatVision reports that Warner Bros. has hired yet another writer to tinker with the Logan's Run script. Andrew Baldwin has been set to give his contribution previously writers Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Sunshine) and Will Beall (Gangster Squad) had worked on it. Baldwin recently sold the Yakuza film The Outsider to the studio and wrote Red Asphalt for Timur Bekmembatov (Wanted, Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter).

The film starring Ryan Gosling has also gone through a few different directors. It first started out with Bryan Singer (X-Men) then went to James McTiegue (V For Vendetta) later to Carl Erik Rinsch (47 Ronin) and finally to Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, Bronson, Pusher).

Nicolas Winding Refn To Direct Logan's Run, Ryan Gosling Closing Deal To Star

It looks like Warner Bros. has finally got their Logan's Run remake close to production. Deadline reports that Nicolas Winding Refn (Pusher Trilogy, Bronson) is set to direct with Ryan Gosling finalizing his deal to play Logan. Gosling recently worked with Nicolas on the action thriller Drive and seems to be the key reason he's finally making an event studio film. I'm also excited to see Winding Refn jump into the sci-fi genre.

Bryan Singer had once been attached to direct but left to focus on other films. Carl Rinsch (The Gift, 47 Ronin) was next but also ditched the project to shoot his samurai film 47 Ronin. Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Sunshine, Never Let Me Go, Dredd) has written a well received script for the studio and it's expected it could go into production sometime this year.

Peter Parker's Parents Cast & New Villain For Spider-Man

Some exciting Spider-Man casting news from HeatVision they reveal Sony has cast Campbell Scott (Damages) and Julianne Nicholson (Law & Order: Criminal Intent) as Peter's parents Mary/ Richard Parker. We've never seen the two featured in the films or even an explanation of how they died. It will be interesting to see how they fit into the story.

Irrfan Khan best known to western audiences as the policeman from Slumdog Millionaire will play a new villain. He'll play scientist Van Atter who has connections to Norman Osborn and the Goblin experiments. Eventually becoming Proto-Goblin, an early test subject of the goblin formula. I assume this means we'll be hearing casting for Harry and Norman soon.
