I am – Hercules!!
Rand Ravich, writer-director of “The Astronaut’s Wife” and creator of NBC’s short-lived zen detective series “Life,” has been hired by Warner Bros. and Leonardo DiCaprio to pen a new big-screen “Twilight Zone” movie.
The movie DiCaprio has in mind won’t deal with multiple stories as the movie directed by Steven Spielberg, George Miller, John Landis and Joe Dante did a quarter-century ago. It would transform one episode into one movie. Or maybe two episodes into two movies.
Longtime AICN readers know I am a nut for the old Rod Serling anthology (which I hope gets a Blu-ray edition soon) – but I was not a fan of “Astronaut’s” nor of what I saw of “Life,” so my expectations for this long-brewing project remain muted.
My excitement level would jump from a 2 to a 5, though, if I learned a role were being tailored for Albert Brooks.
