Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way production company is in the early formative stages of launching a new film project based on Rod Serling's Twilight Zone television series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the company is looking for writers to come in and pitch their ideas for a new Zone movie. The only requirement is that DiCaprio's new Twilight Zone movie won't follow the same format as the 1983 Twilight Zone: The Movie film which was made up of roughly half-hour long vignettes. Instead, Appian wants the new Zone movie's storyline to be "one continuing story line based on one or more episodes."
