Back in May, commercial director Carl Rinsch (The Gift) signed on to direct Warner Bros. Pictures long awaited remake of the sci-fi classic, Logan’s Run. Throughout the course of the film’s development, the remake was rumored to have attracted the likes of Bryan Singer (X-Men), James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) and most recently Joseph Kosinski (Tron Legacy) to helm the project.

Now, THR reports that Rinsch has decided to leave Warner Bros. sci-fi remake of Logan’s Run in favor of directing Universal Pictures‘ 18th Century Samurai tale, 47 Ronin starring Keanu Reeves.

Logan’s Run is slated to hit theaters in 2012
