Kinda bumming about this one…

According to Variety’s Justin Kroll, Ryan Gosling has withdrawn from the LOGAN’S RUN remake that would have reteamed the actor with his DRIVE director Nicolas Winding-Refn. Worry not too much though folks, remember, both men already reunited for the Bangkok set thriller ONLY GOD FORGIVES. So at least there’s that…

Per a Tweet from Kroll:

Rough news for those LOGAN’S RUN fans, I can confirm Ryan Gosling is no longer attached to the project— Justin Kroll (@krolljvar) October 25, 2012

No telling if Winding-Refn is still onboard to direct the remake of 70s sci-fi classic, perhaps Gosling’s departure has to do with Refn’s. Perhaps a simple schedule snafu is the cause. Either way, I think I speak for many when I say the LOGAN’S RUN remake just got way less interesting. Sucks, because Nic and Ryan seemed pretty psyched to update the story.

Hopefully the smoke clears soon and we learn a little more about the project.
