Ken Levine, the mind behind Game Informer's 2007 Game of the Year "Bioshock", is reportedly attached to write the remake of the 1976 cult classic, "Logan's Run".

Deadline reports Warner Bros. has hired Levine as a result of his immensely successful Bioshock franchise which released its third installment earlier this year. Levine began his career as a screenwriter and playwright before moving on to the world of videogames where he created one of the most immersive and fan-favorited titles in recent memory. He's reportedly taking a break from working on games simply because "Logan's Run" is such a passion project for him.

The film, based on the 1967 novel by William F. Noland and George Clayton Johnson takes place in a dystopian future where all people over the age of 21 must be executed in order to control the population. When the book was made into a film, it starred Michael York as Logan 5, the maximum age as bumped up to 30 and the setting became a city encapsulated by a large dome on a post-apocalyptic earth.

According to The Verge, a remake to the cult hit has been in the works for some time. "28 Days Later" writer Alex Garland penned a script but, the project was officially put on hold in May when Ryan Gosling, who was set to star in the film, dropped out. Now it appears Levine is going to be writing an entirely new script for Warner Bros.

Levine will continue to keep his main focus on writing games and being the creative director and co-founder of Irrational Games. "Logan's Run" will not be Levine's first foray into dystopian works of fiction. The original BioShock took several queues from Ayn Rand's famous dystopian novel "Atlast Shrugged" and used them to create a fully imagined under water world as well as a world in the clouds with "Bioshock: Infinite."
