Screenwriter Rand Ravich has been hired to write a new Twilight Zone movie for Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way production company.
Ravich is the creator behind the NBC drama series Life as well as the screenwriter of The Astronaut's Wife starring Charlize Theon and Johnny Depp and 1995's Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh. The hiring of Rand is the first major new development since Appian Way started to work on a new Twilight Zone movie one year ago. It's not yet known what Ravich has in mind for the new Zone's story, if it will be a collection of multiple stories or a single storyline that spans the film.
DiCaprio's Twilight Zone is the second time that a feature film has been made from Rod Serling's classic television series from the 1950s-60s. The first Twilight Zone movie came out in 1983 and featured four segments directed by John Landis (An American Werewolf in London), Steven Spielberg (E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial), Joe Dante (Gremlins) and George Miller (The Road Warrior). Even with that sort of calibre of Hollywood talent assembled the '83 Zone movie failed to become a hit for Warner Bros. A new Twilight Zone series materialized on CBS in 1985 but lasted just a single season.
Hey, do you want to see something really scary? Watch Dan Ackroyd and Albert Brooks listen to a little Creedence Clearwater Revival and reminiscence about the original Twilight Zone TV show in the opening minutes of 1983's Twilight Zone: The Movie...
