In the book, the original age of death was 21. Our country has fallen into the youth-worship that the book was actually warning about - :-\ go figure - so instead of remaking the movie with adults, they're remaking it with - what teenaged actors? We talking Miley Cyrus here? That's kinda squiffy, seeing as how the teenagers in the book Logan's Run acted like little adults and not children (sex/drugs/violence).

Miley as Holly? Really? I know that Rory Culkin will play Logan and the Jonas Bros will be Sandmen. ;D

I am surprised that one or two or... are asking for a remake, as I was like-bashed when I asked a remake of Brokeback Mountain, has that changed? What is your driving force now? Awakening to many issues now?
I think that a remake if Soylent Green is a good idea, as that there is a need for that more and more foods, since too much of our foods are coming from too far and from poor countries with starving populations, plus we are neglecting now to produce more food in our own yards!! Plus more ?

I'm in the middle of watching season 3 of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. I'm so happy Kira finally chopped off her awful hair extensions. And what was the point of seeing Jamie Bamber in a fat suit. Seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to show that the character has gone "soft". Anyway, this is probably the first sci-fi program that has me in tears every second episode. I just have to hear the first notes of the theme music and I feel waves a sadness and melancholy.. :'(
