'Twilight Zone' Reboot in the Works

'Twilight Zone' Reboot in the Works From Bryan Singer, CBS Television Studios

Quote:
 
Bryan Singer is about to enter "The Twilight Zone."

The "X-Men" director is working on a reboot of Rod Serling's television series with CBS Television Studios, a spokeswoman for CBS Television Studios told TheWrap. Singer will develop and executive-produce the project, and could direct.

The project is currently in the very early stages.

The original "Twilight Zone" ran on CBS from 1959 to 1964, and the network revived the series in the 1980s. Most recently, the UPN ran a revival of the series, with Forest Whitaker hosting. That version, which launched in 2002, lasted one season.

Singer was also involved in the revival of another classic television series earlier this year, with NBC's "The Munsters" revamp, dubbed "Mockingbird Lane." Initially conceived as a series, "Mockingbird Lane" aired as a Halloween special for the network.

This makes what, the third revival? There was the 80's version (first on CBS then syndicated). The one on UPN in the 90's and now this one? Any that I'm missing?

That's all that I am aware of. Seems there might have been a TV movie.

I'm no longer so sure this is the type of show that can really be successfully remade.

We just have to wait and see. The concept of the show was always great. I love to watch reruns.

I think the problem is that there is no ongoing cast to invest ourselves in. No characters we can identify with over the course of years. It's possible that it is potentially too smart a show for television these days. You have thirty minutes at most to identify with the protagonist(s). If they go the route of the previous remakes, it may be less than that even (15-20 minutes).

I suppose it would be cool if the show is modernized because The Twilight Zone is one of my all-time favorite shows. Though, it would be neat if we could, for once, get something completely new. Remakes are fine, but it seems as though all that there is to watch on television nowadays is the same old stuff. I wonder if it is actually possible now in today's world when so much has already been done, if "fresh and new" actually still exist. :ermm:
