First full trailer for the new The Twilight Zone released

[DrScruffleton]

Is OG Twilight Zone worth watching for someone that has never even seen a single episode but generally likes creepy stuff? Has it aged well basically.

Click to shrink...

some have aged very well and some have aged very poorly. In my opinion its one of the best shows ever made. I would actually just recommend starting with the first episode called "Where is Everybody?" to see if you like it, because its one of the greatest.

 

[Sectorseven]

What's the run time supposed to be?

A lot of people felt the original series struggled when it became an hour long.

Yes. I feel they do marathons of it yearly. During the holiday season.

They should really do a Twitch marathon.

This does not look episodic at all, though. It seems more serial in nature, like most modern TV shows now.

 

[Doomsayer]

This looks so good. Peele is just on top of the game right now.

 

[F2BBm3ga]

Omg this cast is fucking top tier

 

[Deleted member 1258]

The "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet" one with Adam Scott doesn't even look at all like the same plot, there's some bizarre storyline with the numbers 1015 and with scenes not anywhere near the plane.

 

[Kinggroin]

Nice! Check out this other throwback

[Effect]

So ready for this. Liking the cast they got for this.

 

[PrimeBeef]

100% yes.

Click to shrink...

I don't think it has. I used to watch it as a kid some 35 years ago and loved it. Checked it out on Netflix a few weeks ago and most are just downright boring to me now. There are some great classics, but outside of those, few are worth it IMO.

 

[More_Badass]

I never watched the original Twilight Zone, but this feels very campy and comedic in a way to me? Maybe it's because of how the trailer is edited. I thought it would be more horror and mystery. Anyway, still watching this for sure.

Click to shrink...

Twilight Zone is genre agnostic. Horror, sci-fi, mystery, comedy, supernatural, drama, etc. That's one of its biggest strengths compared to like Black Mirror

Oh please find a top 10 ranking and watch a couple it holds up 60 years later for a reason.

I will definitely check out some episodes. Any particular episodes to check out first?

 

[Joeytj]

Can't even watch the YouTube previews because I'm outside the US. Bullshit. CBS does this with Star Trek as well. Can't even see official promos until someone else reuploads it.

 

[Transistor]

Yoooooooooooo

That looks damn good

 

[8byte]

The cinematography in this looks fantastic. Will get CBS for this, haha.

Howling Man and Would the Real Martian Please stand Up are my personal favs

 

[Digitalcheetah]

Is the tag line really "what dimension are you even in"?

That 'even' sounds so awkward to me.

Click to shrink...

I feel the same way. It feels like a way of marketing to a younger crowd. Im specifically talking about the person who would use the phrase" I cant even" to express how undesirable their situation is

They're all original aside from "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" but even then it seems to be way different and goes in another direction at some point.

There's at least one, but the rest are originals.

someone wanna reupload this for those of us not in the US?

why the fuck do they do this shit?

Have they said that? I'm not sure how you get think it's serial out of that trailer.

Ok, that sounds fine, I have to give them a watch to see if they can recapture the weirdness.

The whole numbers theme. Reminded of LOST and it's across multiple vignettes, suggesting an overall link.

 

[overcast]

Looks good, but it's hard to get much of a feel off a trailer for twilight zone. CBS is always a concern because I feel as though I've never watched a good CBS show.

Damn. First time I've ever found the Twilight Zone theme to be creepy. Jordan Peele is on fire.

Peele is just executive producing and hosting this. The showrunner and writers appear to be completely different.

This worked for me (im UK based)

 

[A Ream of Paper]

Looks really interesting. I was not aware of the great cast they have behind this. Excited to give this a shot thanks to that free 3 months of CBS All Access promo recently.

I'm so in!

Not announced yet. Will probably vary on a per-episode basis, I think most CBS AA shows have been 45-ish min long.

It's supposed to be proper anthology with stand-alone episodes.

I thought all of the executive producers also had insight on writing / developing? I could be wrong.

 

[SpankyDoodle]

This looks SO cool, really excited to see how it turns out. Guess I'll wait for the whole season to be out and then try CBS's thingy for a month to watch it all.

Also really hoping they don't try to connect the episodes. Some of the original Twilight Zone episodes quite literally end the world, so they all take place in their own dimensions. Unless they change the formula dramatically they won't be able to connect them.

 

[CitizenVectron]

Thank you for the non-US link, but it's been taken down.

 

[Border]

Isn't there a member of this forum who is writing for the show?

I like the look of it so far, but I wish they weren't using so many highly recognizable actors. It kinda takes me out of it to have Adam Scott and Tracy Morgan in there. The original show didn't lean as much on known talent.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Fucking CBS All Access? Is that sumthin they expect me to pay for??

It's always my go-to on Netflix when I'm looking for something to watch. Most of the episodes hold up incredibly well.

You're right. I remember she said something about the writing process that was reassuring.

This looks a little too antagonistic and dark and not quite as fablelike as the original.

Do we know if this will be a half hour or hour long?

You'll get like 30 different answers, but of the ones I've seen, these were my favorites:
The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street
Walking Distance
Third from the Sun
A Stop at Willoughby
People Are Alike All Over
Eye of the Beholder
The Lonely
The Odyssey of Flight 33
A Hundred Yards Over the Rim
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
And When the Sky Was opened

(These are mostly from the first season, but that's where I've watched the bulk of episodes so far)

 

[samthebreadman]

Please turn out as good as the originals, but modernized.

 

[Charismagik]

That was a fantastic trailer

The Monsters are Due on Maple Street is amazing. It's also one of the episodes available on Netflix iirc

To serve man is a personal favorite but it's a little more on the odd side. Also watch eye of the beholder definitely. It's kinda hard to go wrong to be honest. It's amazing how well the show has aged

Edit: almost forgot, Midnight Sun

 

[hydruxo]

Great trailer and an excellent cast. Can't wait!
