Matt Reeves, you're about to enter "The Twilight Zone."
Warner Bros. has certainly let the right one in by hiring the "Cloverfield" and "Let Me In" filmmaker to direct a new big-screen adaptation of the classic Rod Sterling television series.
Deadline has the news, reporting on the Jason Rothenberg-penned film: "Though the last Twilight Zone film� was an anthology with different directors, this one is a big science fiction action movie with a single freestanding story that is linked to the original series mainly in that it shares that familiarly eerie feel."
Personally, I'm thrilled with the selection of Reeves, but I do wish WB had gone the anthology route and hired multiple directors to oversee different "Twilight Zone" vignettes. That recently leaked wish list of filmmakers ? including Christopher Nolan, Michael Bay and Alfonso Cuaron ?�would have made for one heck of a dynamic moviegoing experience.
In previous "The Twilight Zone" news?
� It was first reported in 2009 that Leonardo DiCaprio and his Appian Way production company would be teaming with Warner Bros. to create a new film version of "The Twilight Zone."
� On hearing the news, we came up with our own wish list of classic "Twilight Zone" episodes we'd want to see on the big screen.
� News remained quiet until early October, when a report came out that Christopher Nolan, Michael Bay and Alfonso Cuaron were among the directors Warner Bros. was considering to helm the "Twilight Zone" remake. Ultimately, the job went to Matt Reeves.
