Leonardo DiCaprio set for The Twilight Zone
Rand Ravich (director of The Astronaut's Wife) has been tapped to write a script based on the landmark TV series. The initial show mixed fantasy, science-fiction and horror elements. It had a five year run on CBS and was created by the iconic Rod Serling. He wrote over half of the 156 episodes that the show had.
Warner Bros. released the 1983 film Twilight Zone: The Movie which was produced by Steven Spielberg and John Landis. They also directed various segments of the film.
The Twilight Zone is in development . The film is directed by Matt Reeves.

Way cool...loved the original series reruns. Hope DiCaprio's production company is still making the biopic of the Atari founder too.

What is this tragic accident some of you are talking about? Did this happen on the set of the 83 movie?

We'll I mean technically it's not a remake of the movie it's an adaptation of the show I hope that it's more than just one story just like the 80's version

Interesting...
Are they planning on following the 1983 film's formula with various segments, or will it have one continuous story?

Great. I hope it's better than that sh*tty ass version Steven Spielberg put out. The only part i liked about that was Dan Akyrod turning into a monster.

I was very intriuged by the movie they made in 83. It was very interesting, weird, erie, dark humored, and in some scenes, very frightening. The airplane scene at the end was my favorite.
I really hope they get this right, and I hope Spielberg will some sort of involvement.

definately interesting, films like this can become very successful franchises only if written and directed well :)
They should consider doing this with them old anthological comics as well like House of secrets / mystery
