So I know that this man is dead, and that he never really directed movies. He was a writer. But he would still be the perfect person to get The Second Thief to film. That would be Rod Serling, the man responsible for The Twilight Zone. In essence, The Twilight Zone is a long episode of the Twilight Zone, right along with its twist ending. Some readers have loved this story, and some definitely haven’t. I think it’s all how you view the ending.
Who would score this movie? I would get Tangerine Dream to do it. The Tangerine Dream from the 80’s that used to score lots of movies. Seems like this would fit with the story.
Interesting choices. Totally forgot that Tangerine Dream existed.
Since Mr. Serling won’t be available to direct this, how about Charlie Kaufman? I think he’s a genius, especially at creating twisted realities, so I’ve always thought he’d be perfect to do a modern take on the Twilight Zone.
Great choice. Yeah. He would make the story completely different and surely far more cool! He’d probably insert me in the story somewhere as losing my mind! And by the way, Tangerine Dream is still cranking out music, but it’s just the original founding member and it’s nothing like it used to be. But they were great in films like Risky Business.
The ending caught me by surprise, and I didn’t like it for the first ten minutes. But then I decided it was brilliant. Because really, who wants to read a book that ends the way they want/expect it to?
What about Christopher Nolan? I know he directed The Dark Knight, but I was thinking more along the lines of Memento… that movie was brilliant, if not a bit freaky.
Christopher Nolan–excellent choice as well! I loved Memento as well as the rest of his movies. The recent Batman movie was amazing. I can’t wait to see what he does in the future outside of the Batman series.
