‘Twilight Zone’ Series Reboot For CBS TV Studios
Bryan Singer To Spearhead ‘Twilight Zone’ Series Reboot For CBS TV Studios
The Twilight Zone is eying a return to primetime. X-Men director Bryan Singer has closed a deal to develop, executive produce and possibly direct a reboot of Rod Serling’s classic. The drama series project, now in early stages, is set up at CBS TV Studios. Search is underway for a writer to pen the new Twilight Zone pending the finalizing of all deals with rights holders. The project has not been pitched to networks yet, but CBS is an obvious destination since CBS TV Studios only supplies CBS and the CW on the broadcast side and CBS carried the original series as well as the first revival. In addition to the TV series project, there has been a feature Twilight Zone remake in the works at Warner Bros with Matt Reeves attached to direct from a script by Jason Rothenberg. The original Twilight Zone series ran on CBS from 1959-1964. CBS also aired a remake, which ran from 1985-1989. The most recent series reboot, hosted by Forest Whitaker, premiered on UPN in 2002 and lasted one season. Singer, who directed the pilot for Fox’s long-running medical drama House, which he executive produced, recently helmed and exec produced another reboot of a classic series, NBC’s Munsters-themed Mockingbird Lane pilot, which aired as a Halloween special. On the feature side, Singer is back at the helm of the X-Men franchise with the upcoming X-Men: Days Of Future Past after directing and producing the first two installments in the superhero movie series. He is with WME and attorney Dave Feldman. |

If it is on network TV it will be lame.

IM game. Loved the original, still watch it from time to time on Netflix.
Even a few of the 80s episodes were good. Never saw the UPN reboot from 10 years ago. There was supposed to be a movie reboot as well.....maybe that fell through?

So we are so bereft of new ideas that we need to take something that was revolutionary, groundbreaking and still stands up to the test of time and simply copy it and plug in younger actors?
