It's a CLASSIC that has aged just fine by me. I come back to it often. The only person I'd trust doing a 'reboot' would be Tony Gilroy and his team that did ANDOR. I wouldn't even trust Denis Villeneuve with it. It'd probably have to be a serious take on it, as there really is no way to make modern, the 70's camp element, as well as it's unique charm.

Of course we desperately need new creative talents. Nowadays way too much productions are reboots or prequels, sequels etc or adaptations of old success scenario. The period of time shown in this video is so rich in creation compared to nowadays. But I think it would also be interresting to modernize some of these masterpieces and good movies of the time. But it should be made without disrespecting nor forgetting the originals. Both new creations and reviving past glories should be needed. If it's done, the originals should be also honored and celebrated. A lot of young people discover and love old original masterpieces because they saw an adaptation or reboot. When it's this way, it's a good thing.

I very much dount Damien Walker is in favour of remaking existing and established IPs. This much is obvious from the 1st few mins of this video where he describes the uniqueness and originalof each sci-fi mov ie of the 70s and even states he "lives in dread of Hollywood rebooting another classic". This really dosent watch as a true desire to remake Logan's Run, but an appreciation of how the Mythos of Logan's Run was later realised in the forming acheivment society and perhaps a desire to have this mythos appear and then ran to the same extreme as it was in Logan's Run in a modern media production.

As someone who saw this movie in the theater with my dad as a 9 year old SciFi fan in 1976, owned it on VHS and DVD for the last 30+ years, and have seen the movie in its entirety easily over 100 times, I can report that it absolutely does NOT need any kind of reboot, modification, makeover, or other form of arrogant half-assed revisionist meddling. It is perfectly 1976, analog and true! As a story, it stands the test of time as an imaginative dystopian-utopian view of the future. As a cinematic achievement it offers interesting indoor/outdoor sets and locations, tasteful use of special effects shots to enhance the story, and immersive emotional performances from the lead actors. Is it the auteur-level and finesse of Kubrick's 2001, or the special effects extravaganza of Star Wars? No on both. Logan' Run does not play as an audio-visual assault as has become standard in the Action/SciFi genre. It sits in that rarefied time capsule of the early 70's, pre- Star Wars, where a Sci-Fi movie could have deeper meaning than laser beams and explosions. Please for the love of all that is holy, walk away. Leave this one alone...it can only be diminished.

In the film, there are several shots of Logan's head as a hologram. These were genuine optical holograms, not simulated visual FX. I saw one of the screen-used Logan holographic heads in The Museum of Holography in Paris in the Mid-80s. It was a real-life optical hologram of Michael York's head in a clear plastic cylinder. On display, the cylinder was static, but as you moved round it, Logan's mouth opened & closed. In the film, there were several such cylinders which were rotated so the holographic heads appeared to be speaking. A very unusual and cool effect. 😎

So many don't recall well the SFX prior to Star Wars. When I saw Star Wars it had been in theatres about a week and a large chunk of the audience were not seeing it for the first time. Yet that opining sfx shot STILL had them shutting up other than to 'oooo' and 'ahhh' at the wonder of it, and that is still a bit on the primitive side by todays standards. Back in 76 not being able to clearly make out the wires or see the duck tape seams was considered good enough. Not saying there weren't some amazing sfx before either move, 1968's 2001:A Space Odyssey was pretty damn good as was the the cleverness in ST:TOS's sfx that made up for ingenuity what budget didn't provide. But considering the competition it had around then I'm not surprised it got an award for sfx.

It is true that the life span of humans - the longest any individual might live - hasn’t really changed much at all since the agrarian revolution. But overall life expectancy has increased because more of us, as individuals, are making it that far. This is indeed largely due to recent reductions in infant mortality. Most of human history has been blighted by poor survival rates among children, and that continues in various countries today. In the ancient world, at least, it seems *_some_* people certainly were able to live just as long as we do today. But just how common was it? Back in 1994 a study looked at every man entered into the Oxford Classical Dictionary who lived in ancient Greece or Rome. Their ages of death were compared to men listed in the more recent Chambers Biographical Dictionary. These were, of course, from the elite end of classical society. Of 397 ancients in total, 99 died violently by murder, suicide or in battle. Of the remaining 298, those born before 100BC lived to a median age of 72 years. Those born after 100BC lived to a median age of 66. (The authors speculate that the prevalence of dangerous lead plumbing may have led to this apparent shortening of life). The median of those who died between 1850 and 1949? Seventy-one years old - just one year less than their pre-100BC cohort. Not everyone agrees. “There was an enormous difference between the lifestyle of a poor versus an elite Roman,” says Valentina Gazzaniga, who is a medical historian at Rome’s La Sapienza University. “The conditions of life, access to medical therapies, even just hygiene - these were all certainly better among the elites.” In 2016, Gazzaniga published her research on more than 2,000 ancient Roman skeletons, all working-class people who were buried in common graves. Their *_average age of death was 30,_* and that wasn’t a mere statistical quirk: a high number of the skeletons were around that age. Many showed the effects of trauma from hard labour, as well as diseases we would associate with later ages, like arthritis. Men might have borne numerous injuries from manual labour or military service. But women - who, it's worth noting, also did hard labour such as working in the fields - hardly got off easy. Throughout history, childbirth, often in poor hygienic conditions, is just one reason why women were at particular risk during their fertile years. Every pregnancy itself was a danger. But what of humans before settled communities became the norm? Although it is obviously difficult to collect this kind of data, anthropologists have tried to substitute by looking at today's hunter-gatherer groups, such as the Ache of Paraguay and Hadza of Tanzania. They found that while the probability of a new-born’s survival to age 15 ranged between 55% for a Hadza boy up to 71% for an Ache boy, once someone survived to that point, they could expect to live until they were between 51 and 58 years old. So for *_most_* people for *_most_* of human history, while life span hasn't necessarily changed that much, life expectancy definitely has, and not just because of infant mortality.

The original Star Wars movies are a lot closer to fantasy adventure with magic swords and telekinesis than it is to a proper SciFi 😂 Tô me that is more than enough to put it in the kids menu as movies were made back then. Hardly anything thought provoking despite being entertaining to all ages. Besides that, there is no Science in that Science Fiction 😅 That's like saying Up is a movie about baloons because it's the cover and iconic scene. Same with Star Wars being label SciFi because it happens in space =/

@DamienWalter In the 1970's is when I first saw this movie. Years after seeing it, I had an epiphany about why Logan 3 and Jessica 6 could not find "Sanctuary." In the mythos of this imaginary city, people sought Sanctuary. I believe The City was the original Sanctuary, but the connection between Sanctuary and the City was lost to their history. Not only that, I also think their original utopian Sanctuary evolved into a Fresh Hell, causing the confused notion of Sanctuary to be ever present in their society.

The movie was very different from the books and, IMHO, Nolan tried to modify the sequel ("Logan's World") to sort of create a hybrid between the end of the movie and the world of the books. It didn't do very well. "Logan's Search", the third book, did the whole "alternate universe" thing to put Logan back into the world of the first book. Weak. The funny thing is that George Clayton Johnson was working on his own sequel, titled "Jessica's Run," but passed away before finishing it.

It was quite a relevation to young me, and rather spoiled shows I'd previously enjoyed, such as Star Trek. This is why Babylon 5, with its story arcs, blew me away.

It's funny that I'm a huge Logan's Run fan but never once looked at the series. It heroes no interest for me.

The tv series had promise, but only got a half season (14 episodes) before the constant pre-emptions killed it and they gave up.

That’s a deep take! Looks great, I want to check it out. But more relevant than I expect the writers didn’t think it would happen so soon.

Logan's run was one of my favourite movies as a kid, it really was an enjoyable sci fi movie for its time, my other all time favourite was the time machine the original.

There is no film of that era that needs a reboot. There just isn't the personnel to make a film of the same calibre. It's all downhill from here.

Good or even mediocre writers who can build a world with words can't be found in Hollyweird these days.:(

These comments seem to miss the point. It doesn't sound like Damien wants to remake Logan's Run as is, but instead use the themes of Logan's Run to express basic struggles of human civilization that have been around as long as civilization itself.

Missing the point sums up youtube perffectly. Life is complicated and full of very important subtleties. I would describe these comments as misconceptions if I thought any of them had been conceived. Most are reactions to a single sentence and then off to the next. I do miss conversations.

Before the internet and overhyping you''d just see a movie and be pleasantly surprised or disappointed, corporate greed means studios just make movies for the big bucks.

I got major ‘Logan’s Run’ vibes from 2005’s ‘The Island’ starring Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor.

This is the first time I've seen your KZbin channel. I find your reflection on our society through this 1970s science fiction film very interesting. Thank you.

Logan's Run is like Rollerball, these odd idea movies that are not really remembered for the ideas, but shown as just late night action on old channels. The Rollerball remake didn't really work, thus I wonder would a remake of Logan's Run work? I just see a big budget film that will shed the ideas for a sci fi action story, and the contemporary audience will not get it. Just my concern.

there is a rich vein to be mined here for aspiring storytellers: In a disciplinary society, the end goal is social order and stability, while in an achievement-oriented society, the end goal is personal success and recognition, often at the expense of social cohesion.

I think a lot of things could be improved with a reboot - Box’s design, the exterior shots of the city, for example- but I love Jenny Agutter’s performance too much to OK a reboot.
