Ryan Gosling drops out of Logan's Run
Back in February 2011, we reported that Ryan Gosling was finalizing a deal to star in the Logan's Run remake for Warner Bros., reuniting with his Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn. Today, we have word from Variety reporter Justin Kroll that Ryan Gosling is no longer involved.



It isn't known why the actor has parted ways with the sci-fi remake, although it may have something to do with scheduling conflicts. We reported in August that the actor will make his directorial debut with How to Catch a Monster, which he is also starring in alongside Christina Hendricks.

It hasn't been confirmed if Nicolas Winding Refn is still involved with Logan's Run or not. The original was based on William F. Nolan's novel and starred Michael York, Jenny Agutter, and Farrah Fawcett. The story is set in a future where everyone's death is pre-determined. Those who choose to make their own fate are known as "runners," who are hunted by Sandmen. Michael York plays a Sandman who goes on the run himself when his number is up.

Logan's Run is in development . The film is directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.

    @mcleve02 My thoughts exactly. Gosling has become one of the very best in the business at picking roles, and if Logan's Run is not up to snuff for him, there's probably very good reason as to why.
