Warner Bros. is looking to the big leagues to helm their untitled Twilight Zone film. Variety reports that there is “mutual interest” between the studio and three filmmakers to take the reins: Christopher Nolan, Alfonso Cuaron, and Michael Bay. Rise of the Planet of the Apes director Rupert Wyatt is also in the mix, but the report states that Nolan, Cuaron, and Bay are the top picks.
Unlike the studio’s 1983 Twilight Zone, this new pic will have only one director, and WB is definitely looking to the A-list. Apparently Nolan is the front-runner to get the offer (which isn’t surprising given his very close relationship with the studio, and the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio is producing the Twilight Zone pic), but Variety’s sources are unsure as to whether he’ll actually sign on as the project is apparently similar to Inception.
Apparently Harry Potter David Yates was on the shortlist at one point as well, though his prospects have waned as of late. Continued after the jump.
Bay is apparently keen on the script, but may be hindered by the fact that he’s itching to get to Pain and Gain, the bodybuilding passion project that’s been in the works for a very long time.
Cuaron and Wyatt have the most favorable schedules, as Cuaron is close to wrapping Gravity and Wyatt has yet to commit to his Apes follow-up.
Jason Rothenberg penned the script, and while plot details are under wraps, sources say the film would be a single storyline that touches on several themes from the Rod Sterling TV show that ran from 1959-1964.
Raaah je sens qu'on va finir avec Wyatt...son Singes est bon mais bon...j'aurai été curieux de voir Bay dans ce registre (même si je le vois pas capable de créer de la tension et si c'est pour avoir un résultat proche des remakes qu'il produit, c'est pas la peine). Nolan et Cuaron m'ont l'air trop "je prends plus de films de commande" pour s'y atteler.
Mais putain quand je vois ces noms, je kifferai qu'ils reviennent à l'idée d'un film à plusieurs segments. Comme pour l'arlésienne d'un nouveau Métal Hurlant (avec Cameron, Snyder, Fincher...).
Un même film réunissant Nolan, Cuaron et Bay? Chef d'oeuvre.
en même temps, la version de 83 réunissait Spielberg, Landis, Dante et Miller et c'est tout sauf un chef d'oeuvre...
Et finalement ce sera Matt Reeves...comparé aux noms envisagés, c'est un peu la lose...mais ça lui va bien.
