Leonardo DiCaprio is close to bringing his favorite show The Twilight Zone to the big screen according to The Hollywood Reporter.
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.
Warners is negotiating for rights to the Rod Serling-penned episodes,
I wonder if M Knight Shyamalan is going to pitch something for this because his movies are more like Twilight Zone episodes than feature length films.
Hopefully since The Twilight Zone is one of Leo’s favorite shows, that he will do it justice when he brings it to the big screen.
