I...Still one of my favorites after all these years! I was actually disappointed by the series as a child, because it drifted so far from the movie, but I understand its appeal with some people now. (I still prefer the movie.) As for a remake, I know one's been in the works off and on for more than a few years. I rather hope they just don't bother!<br /><br />Jerry Goldsmith's score was superb, having a 'futuristic' feel for the city stuff, and an epic traditional feel for the other settings... if you can find a copy of it, get it.<br /><br />I love the model city shots, and it's too bad that the water gives away the scale. (Water is the one thing that never 'miniaturizes' well.) By the way, the 'miniature' of the city took up a large portion of a soundstage... the curvey 'pyramids' in the city are about as tall as some of the SFX guys working on the model.<br /><br />CRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-26383710320304663992011-03-26T06:13:23.604-04:002011-03-26T06:13:23.604-04:00Chris also check out this site:

I recently watched my Blu-ray and made my wife watch it too (to get her back for making me watch "Twilight"). She enjoyed it and even made a comment about how "Repo Men" ripped it off.<br /><br />Logan's Run really holds up well, with a solid story and good acting (I really miss Richard Jordan). It does stumble a little bit in a few FX scenes, like the debris falling in Box's domain and the explosions in the city of domes. But otherwise, you have to hand it to the FX guys who created carousel, the miniatures and the deep sleep guns. I love the way those things fire!<br /><br />Great memories and still a great movie!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157952529413529997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-22915375882649866762011-03-24T11:29:17.908-04:002011-03-24T11:29:17.908-04:00Brian, I think that sound you mean is part of Jerr...Brian, I think that sound you mean is part of Jerry Goldsmith's soundtrack.Mike Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589354018554341768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-19445663850524546502011-03-24T10:27:15.769-04:002011-03-24T10:27:15.769-04:00I'll probably watch my Logan's Run DVD cop...I'll probably watch my Logan's Run DVD copy pretty soon as well. Since you'd posted about the TV series, I pulled out an old VHS tape I had of the first three or four episodes (sadly that's all I have) and watched them. I really hope they make this available at some time. I see there's a 2012 date for a remake of Logan's Run. I don't think it's necessary, actually I pretty much hate all the remake stuff (not that a few work and are worthwhile), I just think most are misses, and think the originals are good enough, if not better. I'd prefer Hollywood to make new, original movies, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon. But wouldn't it be wonderful to see a Ringworld or a Forever War movie or how about a Grimjack movie or TV series?El Voxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985563041511492981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-72238977359107053292011-03-24T00:16:58.991-04:002011-03-24T00:16:58.991-04:00I still love that tinkly little synthesizer sound ...I still love that tinkly little synthesizer sound they play when they show the little tube cars going into the miniature city.
