DiCaprio finds a signpost up ahead, his next stop: THE TWILIGHT ZONE!
There's been a recent surge in popularity with writers for adapting to film classic episodes of what I believe is the greatest television show ever made, The Twilight Zone. There are no less than three movies based on episodes of the series currently in the works, including two adapted from the great writer Richard Matheson - The Box and Countdown. But now Leonardo DiCaprio has gone one step further. He has teamed up with Warner Bros. to seek the best pitches to adapt into one or more features which would carry one solid storyline, a homage to his favourite show as a kid. They have put the word out to writers everywhere to pitch "Twilight Zone-esque" themed scripts, which could be adapted from any of the show's storylines or more loosely in the same vein as the atmosphere of the show.
