But now the filmmaker might be making a comeback with the a biopic focusing on one of sci-fi’s most influential creative minds: The Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling.

I've never seen his film "The Box" but it's a loose adaptation of a Twilight Zone Episode I also haven't seen so I think I'm going to make the effort to see them both while this is in development.

I love Rod Serling, the greatest mind in science fiction history and one of the most brilliantly prolific writers of all time.
I hope this stays on track, it will be nice to see this made by a real Rod Serling fan.

FYI "Operation Endgame" is one of those films nobody seems to know about but which has a pretty awesome cast and is actually decent enough.
I bought it ages ago and I dig it. I had no idea Kelly had been involved.

Southland tales was great. Really liked it.

We are on a small island, lovers of that film.

I remember liking it. I remember pretty much nothing about it other than some of the actors who were in it, and that there was a song at one point.

It's hard to describe. "Perpetual motion energy device causes time and space issues in an alternate history" would be a good enough way to say it.

You will never see another film with Sarah Michelle Gellar, The Rock, Seann William Scott and Justin Timberlake in it.

Ive got soul but im not a soldier

I forgot the song but aye, that's the scene.

It's a surprisingly angry film.

I liked The Box but alot of people seemed to think it wasn't very good from what I memba.

Frank Drebin 11-24-2019 10:10 PM

Also, Rod Serling was Crazy Edgar's spirit animal.

RIP Crazy Edgar.

Just keep Damon Lindelof as far away from this as possible.

Rod Serling scripts always have endings that raise even more questions.

...but they do have endings.

I think that's why The Twilight Zone actually matters and The Outer Limits and every other sci-fi or horror anthology did not last.

Rod Serling was evidently a creative genius. That's why you have to laugh at the modern equivalents.
