The New Twilight Zone movie (Rumour)

[trouserpress]

So Matt Reeves has been announced as the director of this movie. He made Cloverfield and Let Me In, both great movies, so there's hope that this could be good!

[TwilightZoneTom@Cult Labs]

It's great that they've gone for an up and coming director who is making a good name for himself. It shows how seriously they're taking this.

Very much looking forward to this.

I still feel a bit put out this movie will be a one off story. I'm more for hoping for an original story instead of a remake.

[TwilightZoneTom@Cult Labs]

I'm with you; not keen on them doing a remake either. I don't mind remakes as a rule, but I want new Twilight Zone. Something that I'll go to watch and be surprised by.

The idea seems to be to turn it into a new franchise and making a new movie every couple of years under the TZ banner. Thing is they've been beaten to this idea by M.Night Shymalan who's overseeing 'The Night Chronicles' movies with a similar theme. His first one 'Devil' was very enjoyable and had a very TZ feel about it. For me, the only way to go would be to make it an anthology movie, with maybe a single theme running through it. A recent example of how to make this work would be 'Trick r Treat'

[The Collector's Room]

I really dug Trick r Treat. That could be a great idea in how to handle this movie.

Not sure if anyone's seen this today. I can't wait til 2014..

They are doing the Twillight Zone film not as an anthology but as one story and that honestly I couldnt care less about. Its a huge mistake.

[the human man]

Yes, already discussed earlier in the thread mate. I agree, seems an error of judgement.

More news, it seems Bryan Singer is the man now. If I'm reading this story right it looks like it's going to be a TV series. It's after the Man of Steel chat...
