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).
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.
