Sreenwriter Tony Peckham (The Book of Eli, Sherlock Holmes, Invictus) is in negotiations with Warner Bros. and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way Productions to pen a rewrite of Jason Rothenburg’s script for a new Twilight Zone film that Warners sees as a major tentpole.  Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In) has signed on to direct the film with DiCaprio producing.

 

According to Variety, the new Twilight Zone movie will be a single narrative “with elements from the Twilight Zone universe,” and not an anthology film like the 1983 Twilight Zone movie, which included four separate stories.

 

Created by Rod Serling the original Twilight Zone TV series remains one of the highpoints for science fiction on the small screen.  It spawned a number of comic books and a series of graphic novels from Walker Books in 2008 (see “'Twilight Zone' Graphic Novels”).
