Los Angeles cop-turned-scribe Will Beall is in negotiations to pen Logan's Run for Warner Bros.

The project has been in development at Warner Bros. for a while, but development got a second wind when Ryan Gosling signed on to star and Nicolas Winding Refn signed on to direct the sci-fi action movie.

The project is based on the 1967 novel by William F. Nolan, and is set in future society where people are executed upon reaching a certain age and those that seek to avoid their fate are deemed "Runners."

The character of Logan is one of those executioners, known as the Sandmen, who ends up on the run after he becomes sympathetic with members of an underground railroad of Runners.

No production date has been set.
