Logan’s Run (1976)

Since 2011, director Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling are attached to the project of remake of Logan’s Run. Nothing is sure, this is only in development and not before some years imdb.
I don’t think that a remake of Logan’s Run is very useful, but I wonder what the director of the stylish Drive could do with this story.
In the film Logan’s Run (1976), the Circuit is a way to choose a partner for a brief encounter. It looks like online dating (a long time before the web) with teleportation. When I saw the movie the first time, a long time ago, this scene seemed original and weird.

In Blade Runner (1982, inspired from a 1966 novel), Deckard is a Blade Runner hunting replicants in a dark world ravaged by pollution.
In Logan’s Run (1976, inspired from a 1967 novel), Logan 5 is a Sandman hunting Runners (people over 30 fleeing a ritual called the Carrousel ) in an apparently bright and carefree world.
There are projects of sequel or remake for these films. My (bad) suggestion for Hollywood: to mix these two universes in one reboot: Blade Runner vs Sandman.
Deckard believes Logan 5 is a replicant and hunts him. Logan 5 hunts Deckard because he is too old. Who will win? Will they kill each other? How this movie could end?
