'Logan's Run' Movie Built out of Legos

How many of you have actually heard of the movie Logan's Run?

It is is a novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson.  Published in 1967, it depicts a dystopic ageist future society in which both population and the consumption of resources are maintained in equilibrium by requiring the death of everyone reaching a particular age. The story follows the actions of Logan, a Sandman charged with enforcing the rule, as he tracks down and kills citizens who "run" from society's lethal demand — only to end up "running" himself.

In 1976, Logan's Run was turned into a movie starring Michael York, Richard Jordan, Jenny Agutter, Peter Ustinov, and Farrah Fawcett.  The movie opened with mixed reviews but has since grown into a cult classic and scifi masterpiece.

If you have not seen the movie you really should take the time to watch it.  It's a good movie hat has been rumored for a long time to be remade into a big budget film.

Keith Goldman has transformed the sexy party dystopia of Logan's Run into a massive Lego diorama; scenes from the film are interspersed in the nooks and crannies.  His creations are awesome!  The attention to detail is second to none.

Walt Disney Releases TRON LEGACY Movie Poster

Walt Disney Pictures have dropped an international poster for the forthcoming Sci Fi 3D bonanza "Tron Legacy."  The poster features Jeff Bridges as the first film's hero Flynn, looking like he is in a Wachowski brothers movie. 

I remember the original "Tron" movie and back  in my day it was the coolest thing to come along since Ocean Pacific (OP) clothes.  Motorcycles and neon/black lights in 1982 were very cutting edge.  Plus, the video game (we had to leave home and play games in an arcade) was nothing short of mind blowing. 

I am very excited to see "Tron Legacy", but I am concerned that it may not translate to the younger demographic that it needs to capture to offset it's huge budget.  I grew up on "A-Team" television series and enjoyed the "A-Team" move, but we all know that movie flopped.   Hopefully, original special effects and very good 3D will carry this movie and allow it to find a younger fan base.  We'll wait and see.
