After breaking into features with TRON: Legacy and following it up with this year?s sci-fi effort Oblivion, director Joseph Kosinski is now in negotiations to helm Warner Bros.? The Twilight Zone picture.  Produced in part by Leonardo DiCaprio?s Appian Way banner, the sci-fi reboot had drafts turned in by Jason Rothenberg (Body Politic) and Tony Peckham (Sherlock Holmes).  It?s now being redeveloped with Kosinski in mind, though plot details remain guarded.  (It?s a safe bet that the color palette will feature a lot of white.)  Heat Vision reports Kosinski being in talks, though there?s no mention of how this affects his schedule or Disney?s TRON: Legacy sequel, which he is also attached to direct.

Joseph Kosinski is about to enter The Twilight Zone. The Tron helmer is in negotiations to direct the big-screen redo of the sci-fi property for Warner Bros.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Killoran are producing via their Appian Way banner, which is based at Warners.

A number of writers have taken a crack at the screenplay, including Anthony Peckham (Sherlock Holmes). The project is now being redeveloped for Kosinski. Plot details are being kept under wraps.

Created by Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone began as a TV series that ran for five seasons on CBS from 1959 to 1964. Subsequent TV series were revived in 1985 and 2002. The sci-fi classic, which revolves around paranormal and futuristic storylines, also spawned a 1983 film starring John Lithgow.

Scott Bloom is executive producing the new film version.
