The mind behind BioShock‘s Big Daddies and BioShock Infinite‘s Songbird is apparently also getting behind the script for a Logan’s Run film remake. Irrational Games creative director and head Ken Levine is working on a Logan’s Run remake script, Irrational confirmed to Engadget today, which he was tapped to pen by Warner Bros. “I can confirm that the information is indeed correct, but unfortunately there is no other information we can share or comment to be given at this point,” the rep told us.

Also in the report: this remake has been in the works for some time, though Levine’s addition is new to the project.
