Leonardo DiCaprio’s Twilight Zone Movie On The Way
About a year ago it was announced that Leonardo DiCaprio‘s Appian Way would make a new Twilight Zone movie. They are moving ahead hiring Rand Ravich, writer and director of “The Astronaut’s Wife” and creator of NBC’s detective series “Life,” to write a a script based on the iconic “Twilight Zone” TV series. So, the writer search has been ongoing for over a year.
The first announcement last year is that – “The companies are not seeking to remake an episodic movie, as the only big-screen version of the show did 25 years ago, but rather hope to build one continuing story line based on one or more episodes.”
Leonardo DiCaprio Eyeing “Twilight Zone” Remake
Leonardo DiCaprio is set to resurrect the hit sci-fi TV series “The Twilight Zone” for the big screen.Warner Bros. and Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way are in the early stages of seeking material for a feature take on one or more episodes from the classic TV series.
The Twilight Zone ran in the US between 1959 and 1964 – each episode set ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, with a sci-fi twist. Shows always began with an introduction by creator Rod Serling, whose deep voice became The Twilight Zone’s trademark. The TV series was revived in the 80s and again in 2002-2003 but the original show is repeatedly broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel, creating a new fan base for the franchise.
