Robbie Coltrane? (larger, can do funny accents)


Brian Dennehy? (in case the movie goes massively over budget)

I think they'll probably go for Sir Tony Hopkins in the Ustinov role, if they want to keep him English.

I doubt they'd go for a similar look in the role.

Didn't Logan's Run also spin off into a TV series, I remember watching it. I'd hate to be wrong, I enjoyed it. At least, what I remember was attached to that name on the box. I was only a kid.

tv show appeared not too long after the movie died down..if i remember right...it didn't last long....

I really liked the cars they had on the tv show. And the guy who played the android seemed pretty believable without over the top fx. I enjoyed the show to be honest.

I vaguely remember the TV series but to be honest it didn't hold my interest for very long (it was a Jenny free zone).

Now I'll have to go see it. Thanks Holden.

I thought the film was great and it still holds up today as does classics like the Time Machine and War of the Worlds. Although these latter examples are made a good time before 'Logans' Run' they fit nicely together.

I thought there'd be a special dvd thang goin' on but not near these tired eyes.

Logan's Run was very camp and kitsch, I like it.

Hey, I was 15 when this movie came out and I saw it in the theater and loved it for the storyline (and Ustinov was fun and cute). The way you guys are talking about this movie, as if it were made before "talkies," you're making me feel old.

Correction: Older.

i was in my 20's when the film came out...i saw it in the theatre and i had a crush on michael york and richard jordan...

'Sir Tony' is Welsh, damn you! Did we slaughter partially-armed Zulus in their thousands only to be forgotten so? Oh, the shame, the shame...

You should tell Tony to stop playing so many English roles, then. Perhaps if he carried around his Zulu trophies....?

Egads... if there's one thing my trip to England taught me, it's never call a Welshman "English" or vice versa!

Review: Cabin in the Woods 8/10

This is what happens when everyone's crammed together on a small island with centuries' worth of accents in their mouths and grievances in their pockets. A whole lot of silly tribal sparring. Most of the time it's just a joke tho .

Although there's some truth in what ole George Bernard Shaw said:
"It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate him or despise him"

Maybe Austrucks right tho. If all thoroughbred welshmen were to wear zulu headgear, at least we could tell each other apart more easily . Yorkshire men could wear roses [tho different types of roses for each bit of Yorkshire, as they don't get on at all well with eachother]. Cornish people could wear Cornish pasties on their heads. This could work...

i'd worry that we'd stop talking altogether, and would just hurl things at each other from nearby hilltops
