If Kino Lorber's recent announcement that the complete The Outer Limits TV series is coming to Blu-ray has you nostalgic for a sci-fi/horror anthology series from the past, then you might be thrilled to hear that Warner Bros. is taking another step forward on their long in-development Twilight Zone movie.
Variety reports that Warner Bros. has set Christine Lavaf to pen a screenplay for the new Twilight Zone film, which will reportedly include a "single story line," as opposed to the multiple segments in 1983's The Twilight Zone: The Movie.
Along with Jennifer Davisson Killoran, Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce The Twilight Zone movie through his company Appian Way. Back in 2013, Joseph Kosinski (Oblivion, TRON: Legacy) was in discussions to direct the movie from a screenplay by Anthony Peckham, but no deal was ever finalized and a new director has yet to be named.
In addition to working in the writers' room for the Warner Bros. and Legendary's upcoming Godzilla sequel, Lavaf wrote an episode of The Fringe, has worked as a writer's assistant on 666 Park Avenue and Falling Skies, and penned the spec pilot episode script for I'Human, which was picked up by FX.
Created by Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone originally aired from 1959–1964 before coming back to TV in its first revival that ran from 1985–1989, followed by a second revival that aired from 2002–2003. Now that we're one step closer to seeing it return to the big screen, what do you want to see in a new Twilight Zone movie?
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
