While it's still early into development with story pitches yet to commence, HR is reporting that a new Twilight Zone is on the horizon, based around one or more episodes of the classic series. Leonardo DiCaprio's production shingle Appian Way and Warner Bros. will be co-producing the feature film. Warners owns rights to the Rod Serling-penned episodes, which comprise the bulk of its 1959-64 run.
Plot Concept: The studio and production company are quietly putting out word to creators that they are looking for pitches and script ideas based on the show for feature development. 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.
