Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way is teaming up with Warner Bros. to bring another incarnation of “Twilight Zone” to the big screen.
Variety reports that Rand Ravich has already been hired as scribe to pen a script based on the iconic TV series from 1959 through the mid 1960s.
The original series, created, hosted, and often written by Rod Serling ran for five seasons and was an innovative mix of science fiction, horror, drama, and fantasy.
The studio first began development on the project with Appian, an ancillary banner of WB, a year ago.
Ravich has been credited on a number features included directing “The Astronaut’s Wife” and executive producing “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.” He is also the creator NBC’s detective series “Life.”
Warners released a big screen version of the series in 1983 entitled “Twilight Zone: The Movie,” with Steven Spielberg and John Landis producing and directing segments throughout.
