For some time there’s been talk of a new film based on The Twilight Zone, but it seems like they’ve had difficulty figuring out how it would work, as while it’s a famous name, Rod Serling TV show’s anthology structure means there’s no real template to follow.
However now the idea is picking up steam, with THR reporting that Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy, Oblivion) is in talks to direct The Twilight Zone for Warner Bros. Matt Reeves had been attached to helm back in 2011, but but he is no longer involved.
Anthony Peckham wrote the original draft of the script, but the project is now being redeveloped for Kosinski. It’s thought Peckham’s script told a single tale, rather than following the multi-story approach of the TV show and 1980s-era movie. It’s unclear if this will change now Kosinski is onboard.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Killoran are producing through their Appian Way production company, alongside Michael Ireland. It’s no clear when it might shoot.
