BioShock writer and Irrational Games co-founder Ken Levine is about to head to Carousel: Warner Bros. has hired him to write the screenplay for its Logan's Run remake.

Deadline reports that Logan's Run is a "passion project" for Levine. Still, the site adds that despite this new gig, Levine will continue to focus on games at Irrational as well.Based on the book by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson, Logan's Run is about a future world where humankind is only allowed to live to the age of 21 before they must sacrifice themselves. Logan is a Sandman, one of the police-like officers in charge of tracking down the Runners, those who attempt to escape their fate... until Logan turns 21 himself and suddenly sees where the Runners are coming from.Logan's Run was previously adapted to the screen in 1976, with Michael York starring as Logan and Jenny Agutter as his scantily clad lady-friend Runner. In recent years, the studio has been trying to get a remake off the ground with the likes of X-Men director Bryan Singer and, most recently, helmer Nicolas Winding Refn and his Drive star Ryan Gosling attached.This is an interesting move, bringing a games writer in to script a high-profile project like this. Will Logan's Run take on the unique feel of BioShock or go in a completely different direction? What would you guys like to see from Levine's Logan's Run?
