I believe that I saw on the extras that they thought they would have Jon Voight as Logan and William Devane as Francis. Now, that would have been a movie!
When they got Jenny Agutter, it lost its edge and you end up with dystopic Britts caught in a gay love-triangle. Oh, well. It was somewhat bleeding edge, even if it predicted that we would all live in indoor shopping malls.
Jenny Agutter is a wonderful actress.
