After the successes of other recent movies based on old television shows, like “Get Smart” and “Starsky and Hutch”, production companies are continuing the trend. Warner Bros. has tagged Leonardo DiCaprio for a role in a movie version of the classic television show “The Twilight Zone”.
“The Twilight Zone” movie will be a piece-together of several episodes of the classic show. Warner Bros. is still looking for pitches and script ideas, so don’t get too excited just yet, because it could be awhile. The company is currently negotiating with Rod Serling’s estate to get ahold of the bulk of the episodes.
And the remake sound about perfect for DiCaprio. In past interviews he has mentioned the show as being his favorite. Hopefully the latest film goes better than the last, which was rumored to be cursed after three actors died while filming.
