Quickie: Leo's "Twilight Zone"


According to Variety, Leonardo DiCaprio's production company Appian Way is planning a new "Twilight Zone" film, and they've already hired writer/director Rand Ravich ("The Astronaut's Wife") to get crackin' at the script.

The original series ran from 1959 to 1964 and has already had one movie released in 1983. The newer incarnations of the show featured mostly remakes of original stories and concept from the tv show, which was created and hosted by Rod Sterling (who also wrote the show). It will be no surprise if Ravich plans on borrowing old concepts for this new film. It's a little like tradition.
