I’d rather that Joel Silver produce the highly sought after, “DreamScapesAxis” movie that is rumored to be the Wachowski’s next Block Buster after Speed Racer is finished.

Age 30 in the film, age 21 in Nolan and Johnson’s original novel. Given the ages of York, Agutter, and Jordan (and the challenge of finding name-recognizable 19-21 year old actors), I can see why they made the switch. In addition, we were still in the “don’t trust anyone over 30″ years, so the number was relevant.

Could the story work outside its ’70s context? X-MEN succeeded, to me, partly because it abandoned the “alienated teenagers” theme that ran through Lee & co.’s original comics in favor of a more age-universal problem, represented by the Holocaust. Could LOGAN’S RUN make a similar pilgrimage?

Actually, I think the age of 30 is when you were forced to cash in your chips not 21. Even the most jaded adult thinks their 20’s were worth living :)
Great plot and still a fun movie to watch, would love to see it remade. The trick will be capturing the 1970’s “love is all we need” look and feel while adding a modern darkness.
