Warner Bros. is readying another trip into The Twilight Zone, and Variety is reporting that they’ve tapped a new writer to take us into the next dimension… a dimension of sight, sound, and mind. There’s a signpost up ahead, and it reads: “Christine Lavaf (“Fringe”) will pen the screenplay for the sci-fi tentpole.”

Warner has been developing the project since 2009. The last major development came in 2013 with Oblivion director Joseph Kosinski in talks to helm the project with Anthony Peckham writing. Previous writers have included Rand Ravich and Joby Harold.

The Twilight Zone is set up at Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way, where DiCaprio is producing with his partner, Jennifer Davisson Killoran.

The Twilight Zone, created and hosted by Rod Serling, ran as a series on CBS from 1959 to 1964. The show melded fantasy, science-fiction, and horror elements with Serling serving as the exec producer and writing or co-writing 92 of the show’s 156 episodes along with delivering monologues at the beginning and end of each episode.

John Landis’ 1983 feature Twilight Zone: The Movie had four separate storylines. Warner Bros. has been developing the movie as a project with a single story line.

The TV series was revived on CBS and in syndication in the 1980s. UPN revived the series in 2002-2003.
