Warner Bros. and
Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way are slowly moving forward with a new
Twilight Zone movie.
It took them almost two years after hiring
Sherlock Holmes writer
Anthony Peckham to pen a script based on the iconic TV series.
In that time
Matt Reeves had dropped the project to go to direct the sequel
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes instead. Now comes word that
Oblivion and
Tron: Legacy's director
Joseph Kosinski travels to
The Twilight Zone.
They are basically redeveloping the script to fit Kosinski's sensibilities. Sadly, there are no plot details yet, but back in the day it was said the movie would forgo the anthology format of the original show and 1983 movie.
We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
Rod Serling created an anthology TV series in 1959, which featured a number of sci-fi-themed and paranormal story lines each week. The series was often directed with great artistry, but it was primarily a writer's show. The series was revived in 1985 and 2002, along with the 1983 movie starring
Dan Aykroyd and
Albert Brooks.
My big question here is: who'll be the narrator/host?
