Back in February we brought you the news that Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, Bronson) was hired to to direct Warner Bros. Pictures long awaited remake of the sci-fi classic, Logan’s Run. At that time, actor Ryan Gosling (The Ides of March, Drive) was also hired to star in the film as Logan 5.

Now, THR reports that Will Beall (Castle, The Gangster Squad) is now in negotiations to script Logan’s Run for Warner Bros. The project is based on the 1967 novel by William F. Nolan and sees Logan 5 (Ryan Gosling), a “Sandman” whose job it was to put to permanent sleep those who try to escape mandatory death, the downside of the blissful existence in the domed city that protects the inhabitants who survived a 23rd Century apocalypse. Logan 5 then approaches his own death sentence, and goes on the run from his coworkers.

Logan’s Run is slated to hit theaters in 2012
