The long-delayed remake of '70s sci-fi classic Logan's Run is alive once more, with X-Men producer/writer Simon Kinberg replacing for what would have been his first film credit since his breakthrough game projects at Irrational.

There were reports earlier this year that, with Gosling now gone from the production, a new writer was being sought to rework the picture to feature a female lead. Whether this story change is still the case remains unknown, but Levine confirmed on Twitter that he is no longer working on the script.

Levine also mentioned that this would not be the end of his screenwriting career, and that he was working on a new, unknown film project that could be announced soon.

As a writer and producer, Kinberg is involved with some of the biggest sci-fi/fantasy properties in film. He has credits on several of Fox's Marvel titles, including this year's Fantastic Four reboot and the upcoming Deadpool and X-Men: Apocalypse. His involvement with the Star Wars franchise, meanwhile, has included several episodes of the Rebels animated series, as well as screenwriter for one of the upcoming standalone Anthology movies.
The original Logan's Run was released in 1976 and starred Michael York and Jenny Agutter. The sci-fi thriller portrayed a dsytopian future controlled by computers, in which citizens are terminated at the age of 30.

Last week Canadian-based indie developer, Compulsion Games, launched its Kickstarter campaign for We Happy Few, a pleasingly twisted horror survival game set in a 1960s dystopian world where everyone is on happy drugs. Imagine Tim Burton and Ken Levine did acid and decided to make game and you will have a pretty good idea of what We Happy Few is all about. I cant wait.

WGTC: Often times when we talk about our favorite video games, we usually dont dwell too much on whos actually making them. This isnt a surprise, to be completely honest. Unlike the film, TV, or music industry, video games have done a pretty poor job when it comes to celebrating the people who actually make the games we love. Sure, the greats do get recognition from time to time (heres looking at you Kojima), but for every Ken Levine or Sid Meier out there, there are thousands of developers who sit in the shadows, not getting the praise they deserve.
