The story details that Andrew Meiran of Bureau of Moving Pictures has acquired the official rights from Serling's widow, Carol (who will also serve as producer). The screenplay will be written by frequent Oliver Stone collaborator Stanley Weiser.
"Rod Serling was one of the true visionaries in television history," Meieran said. "He single-handedly broke the mold and established television as a powerful artistic medium capable of changing the world when used wisely."
Like the late Gene Roddenberry, Serling realized that a fantasy series gave him the opportunity as a writer to explore issues that he never would have been able to on regular dramatic fare at the time. Serling remains a visionary, whose creations continue to live on... in The Twilight Zone.
