Casting Call: Logan's Run

Francis 7, Logan's dear friend and fellow Sandman, proves to be a less than loyal and trusted companion when he seeks to capture and kill Logan for escaping their dysfunctional future world. Although he is the villain of sorts, when it comes down to it he is really just abiding by society's laws, meaning he is ideally portrayed by an actor who is aesthetically pleasing, physically fit, and not very bright-looking. We're thinking Channing Tatum.

 

Our hero, Logan 5, begins as a coldhearted killer, mercilessly exterminating Runners who think they're too damn special to be terminated at 30. However, Logan eventually sees the error of his ways when he is sent on an undercover mission to infiltrate Sanctuary, a peaceful society located beyond the walls of his civilization. Unlike most of the subservient, docile young men and women of his world, Logan is naturally inquisitive. His partner, Francis 7, once remarks, "You know Logan, you wonder a lot. Too much for a Sandman." Finally, like all good heroes, Logan is naturally athletic and handsome with a fabulous head of hair. Since Gosling is out, we'd like to suggest Joseph Gordon-Levitt

 

The film's heroine, Jessica 6, is an idealistic, girl-next-door type with flawlessly coiffed future hair. She is instrumental in helping Logan see the faults in their society's computer dictatorship and, in a heartwarming gesture of romance, joins him as a fugitive on the run. With her stunning combination of beauty and brains, we think Emma Stone is a worthwhile candidate.

Box is a killer robot and therefore must be played by someone downright awesome with an appropriately evil-sounding voice. Christopher Walken, naturally.

 

Holly is a minor but memorable character, largely because she was originally portrayed by Farrah Fawcett and who could possibly look better in a miniscule silver, sparkly future dress? This is an opportunity for a mega-babe cameo, actual acting ability not necessary. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley seems like an appropriate choice. 

Doc is a doctor who runs a sophisticated cosmetic surgery practice, which would explain why everyone in this future world is so impossibly attractive. Once on the run, Logan seeks out Doc to alter his appearance. Though it seems like a bright idea at the time, Doc is not one to aid and abet fugitives and ultimately turns on Logan, attempting to kill him with his laser machine. Cillian Murphy, who has proved he can play creepy and evil in Batman, would be the perfect choice.
