Rod Serling Biopic (Richard Kelly) - Blu-ray Forum

Quote:

[...] according to a report from Production Weekly (via Comicbook.com), Kelly’s next feature, his first since 2009’s “The Box,” is said to be a biopic about famed “Twilight Zone” creator/star Rod Serling. As mentioned, Serling is best known as the creator-host of the iconic anthology series “The Twilight Zone.” His legendary voice and calm demeanor introduced each and every episode of the acclaimed, groundbreaking series.

The report says that Kelly will not only write the script but put himself in the director’s chair, also. [SOURCE]

Failure if it’s anyone but John Slattery playing him.

Kelly is kind of the perfect filmmaker to do this. Color me interested.

I was wondering what happened to Kelly, glad he hasn’t totally faded into obscurity.

Actually watched The Box on Netflix recently, it was... fine, I guess.

I'm ambivalent on Kelly and I don't really know what to expect from a Rod Serling biopic, so I'll keep an open mind.

This is usually the kind of thread that I happen upon 12 to 18 months after it gets started...
Damn if this hasn't now become my most anticipated release and it's still barely more than just an idea.

Is his life really that worth making a film about?

WWII vet. Becomes the David Simon of his generation. Gets hounded by censorship. Makes a tv show to hide his political beliefs. Dies of smoking too much. The End.

I believe it when the cameras are rolling.

This isnt the first time Kelly was attached to something.

10 years is a long fn time.
