Just for the fun of it, I started kicking some names around my head for the cast of a potential "Logan's Run" remake. I came up with, so far:
Logan: Leonardo DiCaprio. The movie will need some box office draw. DiCaprio is still young enough to be convincing as Logan, but can be made to look older as necessary.
Jessica: Leelee Sobiewski. Has the innocent appeal of Jenny Agutter. Not to mention will make a cute pair-up to DiCaprio.
Francis: Chris O'Donnell or Christian Slater. Either one can pull off the reliable (but borderline psychotic) best friend turned adversary.
The Old Man: James Earl Jones. Will bring a theatric stateliness to the character as Peter Ustinov did in the original.
Charming Billy (the Cub leader): Danny Tamborelli (from "All That"). Has the right look for a tough guy who really isn't so tough.
Holly: Amanda Bynes. The right age for Holly, would be a dramatic change of pace for her. Otherwise, Britney Spears will do.
Other ideas: Combine more elements of the book, such as more cities. There were no domes in the books, but having a group of cities connected by the mazecar system will broaden the scope a bit.
Incorporate the idea of the central computer being inside Crazy Horse mountain, and have DS (Sandman) headquarters there.
