It seems that Warner Bros.' plans for a big screen revival of Rod Serling's classic television series The Twilight Zone have hit a stumbling block, with Variety reporting that director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield; Let Me In) has vacated the project due to scheduling conflicts. Reeves originally signed on to The Twilight Zone last year, having topped a wish-list that was said to have included the likes of Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Rises), Michael Bay (Transformers) and Alfonso Cuaron (Children of Men).

Although it's unclear which project has led to the scheduling conflict, it's also been reported that Reeves has joined a shortlist of potential directors to succeed Rupert Wyatt on Fox's simian sequel Dawn of the Planet of the Apes alongside J. Blakeson (The Disappearance of Alice Creed), Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later), Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter), Gullermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth), Juan Antonio Bayona (The Impossible) and Rian Johnson (Looper).

Originally airing between 1959 and 1964, The Twilight Zone returned to TV screens in both the 1980s and 2000s, while John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante and George Miller all collaborated on a feature revival, Twilight Zone: The Movie, in 1983.
