The final chapter of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn is here bringing the incredibly cool web-series to an end! I loved watching this series, and I hope that someday we get that live-action feature film version of this epic videogame franchise that we've all been waiting for.

Forward Unto Dawn is set before the events of the first Halo game, but the plot will ultimately tie into Halo 4, which is being released on November 6th.

After a terrifying night of combat and loss, Lasky makes a life-or-death decision to help the Master Chief... but will it be enough to save them all from the Covenant?

To watch the first episode click here, for the second episode click here, and for the third and fourth episodes click here! What did you think of the web-series?! Thanks to Microsoft and 343 Industries and Machinima Prime for bringing this to us! 

Enjoy the last episode! 

Directed by Stewart Hendler (“H+,” Sorority Row), and written by Todd Helbingand Aaron Helbing ("Smallville," "Spartacus"), Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn features a diverse cast of established and up-and-coming Hollywood talent, including Tom Green ("Dance Academy") as Thomas Lasky, Anna Popplewell ("The Chronicles of Narnia") as Chyler Silva, Daniel Cudmore(X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, "The Twilight Saga") as the Master Chief, Ayelet Zurer (Angels & Demons, Munich) as Mehaffey, Mike Dopud (Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol) as General Black, Enisha Brewster (Footloose) as April Orenski, Masam Holden ("Grey’s Anatomy"Elizabethtown) as Michael "Sully" Sullivan, Osric Chau (2012) as JJ Chen, Iain Belcher ("Supernatural") as Vickers, and Kat De Lieva as Dimah.

Yesterday, news hit the net that Jamie Foxx was up for the role of the villain Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Director Marc Webb was asked about this rumor at a press event for the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD, but he didn't confirm or deny it. He just kind of teased it saying,

"I think Jamie Foxx is electrifying!" Webb laughed "I think Jamie Foxx is one of the best actors around today. He's such a great character actor and he's a really brilliant guy. I would love to work with him and you'll be hearing more on that shortly, I'm sure."

Comingsoon also reports that the director was then asked what other Spider-Man characters Webb liked, to which he responded,

"I like Electro," Webb smiled. "I'm fascinated by Norman Osborn and the different inflections of him. And Harry. Mary Jane and Gwen are always interesting to me."

As we've reported in the past, Shailene Woodley will be playing the role of Mary Jane Watson over the course of the next two films. There have also been reports that they are looking for someone to take on the role of Harry Osborne. Webb goes on to talk about the villains and how they are supposed to affect Peter Parker,

"What makes villains interesting to me is what they bring out in Peter. What challenges they provide for him. What's great about Marvel and other comics is that often there's a pre-existing relationship... It's not just about the physical conflict he has, but the emotional ones as well."

Finally, the director talks about moving forward with the sequel and what excites him about making it,

"What's exciting about moving forward is that, in the first movie, I had to still honor some of the important elements of the origin story. But I also wanted to redefine the context of it because I'm building a different universe than what we've seen before. A lot of the nuance is quite different. Now, as we're approaching the sequel, it's really exciting because I feel quite liberated. I have a universe that's my own. I don't have an obligation to the origin story. It's pretty fun and exciting and I can dig deeper into the parents."

I'm excited to see where the sequel takes the story. I thought Webb did a great job with the first film, and it will be cool to see what he has planned. Electro will definitely make for an interesting villain, especially if he's played by Jamie Foxx.

What do you think about what Webb had to say about The Amazing Spider-Man 2?

A new promo clip has been released for the new film Hitchcock that gives us a little tease of the shower scene from the classic horror film Psycho with Anthony Hopkins as Hitchcock and Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh.

The movie was directed by Sacha Gervasi (Anvil! The Story of Anvil) and is based on the book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho by Stephen Rebello. It tells the story behind the making of Hitchcock’s classic horror film Psycho. It also stars Ralph Macchio as Joe Stefano, Jessica Biel as Vera Miles, Helen Mirren as Hitchcock's wife, and James D'Arcy as Anthony Perkins.

Here's the short synopsis:

HITCHCOCK is a love story about one of the most influential filmmakers of the last century, Alfred Hitchcock, and his wife and partner Alma Reville. The film takes place during the making of Hitchcock's seminal movie PSYCHO.

Hitchcock will be released in select theaters on November 23rd. Make sure to head to ShareYourScream.com to put yourself in one of the film's posters!

Elijah Wood has been a busy guy lately! On top of everything else he has going on he's just joined a new film project from director Nacho Vigalondo. The film is called Open Windows and it's described "an innovative, high-tech suspense thriller unfolding on the screen of a laptop connected to the Internet." This is Vigalondo's first English language film, but he's best known for his film Timecrimes.

The plot centers on Wood’s character who is tracking down an actress, played by Sasha Grey (The Girlfriend Experience), who was abducted by vicious villain named Chord, played by Neil Maskell.

Wild Bunch is producing the film and their sales chief Vincent Maraval had this to say in a statement,

Open Windows develops in real time, delivering 90 minutes of suspense in a tense, fast-paced, high-tech thriller with action and terror, updating the key elements of 70s paranoid thrillers through today’s computer and online environment

Some of my favorite movies come from the 70s so it's cool that they are trying to capture that same kind of vibe but with modern day technology. Vigalondo added,

Just as in Brian De Palma’s Blow Out, the girl is captured. The hero will have to use every means at his disposal to discover where she is, and rescue her from the villain before its too late.

The action will be followed on the screen of a laptop connected to the Internet – an approach that has excited us all from the outset. Something like this means going beyond high concept films like Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield or Chronicle. Instead of simulating a home video camera, we will be representing a computer desktop. The movie screen becomes a computer screen, and the spectator becomes the protagonist of this adventure.

Open Windows is full of twists, but it’s essentially a 90-minute chase, a continuous climax with unrelenting tension… it is also a powerful viral tool, with a wide potential for different audiences.

The movie is currently in production and will use 12 different kinds of cameras including "webcams, head cameras, tablets, mobile phones, 3D mapping cameras as well as security and satellite cameras to shoot the multi-format picture."

Screendaily also reports that Vigalondo approached Wood to play the lead after a chance meeting at the Fantastic Fest last year. Wood had this to say,

I’ve wanted to work with Nacho since I first saw Timecrimes and his incredible short films. We got to know one another at Fantastic Fest in Austin and when he approached me with this project, truly one of the most unique and exciting films I’ve ever encountered, I leapt at the chance to be a part of it.

This sounds like it's going to be a great movie, and I'm excited to see how it turns out! What do you think of the concept for the movie? 

The first trailer for Steven Soderbergh's new intense looking thriller Side Effects has been released, and it looks like a great movie. It was written by Scott Z. Burns (Contagion, The Informant! and The Bourne Ultimatum) and star Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Channing Tatum, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jude Law. I'm a fan of Soderbergh's work, and it looks like he's made another solid movie.

A woman turns to prescription medication as a way of handling her anxiety concerning her husband's upcoming release from prison.

The movie will be released in theaters on February 8th, 2013. Watch the trailer and let us know if it interests you. Remember that time when Soderbergh retired from making movies? Good thing that didn't really happen.

Here's yet another great Honest Trailer from Screen Junkies focusing their comedic efforts on Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man. Even though I enjoyed the film, this trailer is still freakin' hilarious, and I agree with most of the things it points out.

With great power ... comes endless rebooting of rehashed material. Introducing the highly demanded honest trailer to the movie that absolutely no one demanded.

Check out the latest honest trailer, and tell us what you think!

So the excitement is now fading on the power house merger of Disney and Lucasfilm here at Geektyrant and I can't help but wonder what kind of negatives we will see out of this collaboration. Sure, a Star Wars land, three more movies and a good reboot of Indiana Jones are all fantastic ways to get any geek battalion behind you, but how far does this merger go into the beloved franchise? Star Wars fans are numerous throughout the world and are religious in terms of their dedication to the franchise. If you were to combine the fan bases of just the original Star Wars and Knights Of The Old Republic Facebook pages (and ignore the possibility of overlap between the two) you would have 10,000,000 individual fans. That's comparable to the size of the entire nation of Turkey.

So what ways could Disney possibly let down the fans? While nothing is certain, I can't help but speculate about the ways Star Wars Celebration and other fan events will feel the hurt. Will we see such events happen without being in arms length of a Disneyworld? What about the annual Star Wars night at the numerous ball parks, hockey rinks, and stadiums across the world? What will the fans say when the little things about the culture feel the hurt?

Will Star Wars Uncut still be able to continue? What about the sheer amount of fan films across the web? How will they fare if Disney puts the kabash on lightsaber fx? What happens when your most beloved film franchise enters the Disney vault? 

Let's not forget that this merger also means no more Star Wars on Cartoon Network. With the recent announcement that slates Disney XD to start carrying Clone Wars I sit here and wonder how many cable providers still do not offer XD without a premium package. What about Robot Chicken and Seth Green? Will Disney allow for the installments to continue on Turner Broadcasting? Furthermore, will we ever see Star Wars Underworld debut on the Disney Channel? We are going to lose trilogy marathon weekends on SPIKE!

Now Disney does own ABC so there is a minimal amount of hope for at least some of these programs to continue without too much change, but also a lot of uncertainty about the future of many other projects that are on the way. I know it's a bit of a rant and seems extreme at times, but this is just an example of how much of a cultural impact the series has on our every day lives. I didn't even touch on the wide array of literature the series has, the soon to be lack of modeling Slave Leia costumes, video games and toys we all see and consume on a yearly basis.

My solution? Don't change anything and just write the checks and collect the cash when you need to Disney... wouldn't want to feel the wrath of the nation of Turkey.

A new movie trailer has been released for the Peter Jackson-produced documentary West of Memphis, which tells the story of the West Memphis Three using actual footage, documents and interviews with the people involved. The doc was directed by Amy Berg and follows the frustratingly sad story of how three young boys by the names of Jason Baldwin, Jesse Misskelley Jr. and Damien Echols were wrongly convicted in 1994 for murdering three 8-year-old boys in West Memphis. 

I've been following the story of the West Memphis Three for over ten years, and it's been amazing to watch these crazy events unfold over that time. For those of you who don't know much or anything about this story, West of Memphis is a definitive documentary that tells you everything you need to know about this case. You can read my review of the incredible documentary here. 

Here's the Synopsis:

A new documentary written and directed by Academy Award nominated filmmaker Amy Berg (DELIVER US FROM EVIL) and produced by first-time filmmakers Damien Echols and Lorri Davis, in collaboration with the multiple Academy Award winning team of Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, WEST OF MEMPHIS tells the untold story behind an extraordinary and desperate fight to bring the truth to light: a fight to stop the State of Arkansas from killing an innocent man. Starting with a searing examination of the police investigation into the 1993 murders of three eight-year-old boys in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, the film goes on to uncover new evidence surrounding the arrest and conviction of the other three victims of this shocking crime--Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley. All three were teenagers when they became the target of the police investigation; all three went on to lose 18 years of their lives--imprisoned for crimes they did not commit.

The movie is scheduled to be released on December 25th of this year 2012. For those of you who have been following it, what are your thoughts on this case?

Fast Five director Justin Lin is attached to direct yet another movie called Hibernation, a sci-fi thriller written by newcomers Geneva Robertson and Will Frank.

There aren't many details on the plot surrounding the movie, but producer Troy Craig Poon describes it as a dynamic futuristic thriller, saying that the "story is fresh, inventive and one we found immensely compelling."

Lin is currently working on Fast Six. He's also set to direct a sci-fi comedy called Subdivision, a movie about the L.A. Riots, a film called Lone Wolf and Cub, and an adaptation of the David Henry Hwang Broadway play Chinglish. So the director is packing on the film projects to keep himself busy.

Lin seems like a solid director with a wide range. He's not only directed the Fast and Furious films, but he's also directed Better Luck Tomorrow, Annapolis and a few episodes of Community. Only time will tell if any of these other movies he's working on will be good or not.

Three new great posters have been released for Ang Lee's Life of Pi. The film is based on Yann Martel's bestselling novel, and it seems like people that have read the book are excited about the movie. I haven't read the book myself, but the film certainly looks very inspirational and visually awesome. 

The story centers on a young man played by Suraj Sharma "who survives a tragic disaster at sea and is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While marooned on a lifeboat, he forms an amazing and unexpected connection with the ship's only other survivor -- a fearsome Bengal tiger."

The film also stars Irffan Khan, Gerard Depardieu, Adil Hussain and Rafe Spall. It's set to hit theaters on November 21st. Check out the new posters!

All of us Star Wars fans are incredibly excited to see what awaits us in this new Star Wars trilogy that will give us Episodes 7, 8 and 9 of George Lucas' epic story. Today, MarketSaw is reporting some details of those films, and one of the main things revealed is that Luke Skywalker will be a primary focus of these movies! MarketSaw has a very solid inside source feeding them this information. It was the same source that revealed earlier this year that episodes 7, 8 and 9 were coming so it's hard not to believe what is being reported here. What I'm trying to say is, that this is a solid source, and I believe it. 

Here's what their source says:

Disney now has the power to make STAR WARS films, and everything else in the Lucasfilm archives. The movies I told you about are indeed the primary focus. Luke Skywalker is a primary focus, as are many of the original trilogy cast. Disney also realised that George Lucas and STAR WARS are one and the same, so George will certainly have a voice on any angle taken, in fact I believe it's one of many stipulations. However he will no longer have creative control, and as I said before George was already looking at other creative talents to bring his canon to life back before Disney and Lucasfilm really started negotiating (or at least to the best of my knowledge)...

So not only will Luke Skywalker be a part of the trilogy, but so will many of the original cast! Holy crap, that's awesome! It makes a lot more sense now that Lucas met with Mark Hamill and Carrie Fischer back in August to tell them about the new trilogy. The source goes on...

"Way back when I told you about the new movie trilogy planned, I never explained to you that they were being rewritten from previously secret drafts from way back during the making of the original trilogy. The main problem was the age of the cast, and the tone of the story. Now I do believe that Walt Disney intend on playing to the cultural significance of that original trilogy. You will see a tone more in line with the original trilogy, and specifically featuring that cast, if everything shakes out as intended. Which it will, I promise you.

Damn, this guy is making promises now! The source must be incredibly close to the production. I love that the new trilogy will have more of the same tone of the orignal films. The source then gives an update on the TV series Star Wars Underworld, most of this info we already knew, but the fact that it's still going to move forward is promising.

You can expect to hear more news on the live action TV show in the near future, as the scripts already written will be absorbed in some way into a TV format. The nature of the show and the technical requirements needed to meet a TV budget and schedule are pretty ambitious. Basically they are 45 minute long feature films. With concepts that are very ambitious and the fact that it focuses on characters that are not known and are completely different to what people may have in mind about a STARWARS TV show. This was the problem at the time, and I am pretty sure this is still a problem. At least on the live action front. I am told that soon there will be some kind of material released relating to shot footage and tests on that concept. So look out for that.

The next part of the emails goes into some details about the possible stroyline. I guess you could say there are spoilers here, but I know you all want to know anyway. The next part of the e-mail starts off with A NEW DAWN in bold letters... could this be the title of Episode VII? Are you ready for this...

A NEW DAWN.

I don't believe the empire was completely destroyed by the end of Return of the Jedi.

Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, C3PO and R2D2 are I am assured to feature prominently in the new trilogy, as was always the idea. Apparently some have already been approached. Quite a while back too to my understanding. Hamill is a certainty. 

Holy shit. Want some more? This next part tells us about a new character!

There are two trilogies planned, all following an original overview by Lucas, which was always planned as a multi generational saga. Movies 10 - 12 are from my understanding about the offspring of the Skywalkers, set many years later with the surviving cast playing much older versions of themselves and featuring a female protagonist named Skywalker. This is something that I understand is being discussed as the latest trilogy may end up being an amalgamation of the two using themes and ideas from both, but still keeping the general story, also allowing for continuity of cast.

I remember hearing back in the day about the series possibly going to twelve chapters, looks like that plan is still in motion! The source goes on to talk about how the film will be released, and reveals that we can expect to see restored prints of the original trilogy, before Lucas statred making changes! 

The movies from what I understand will adopt the Harry Potter model, and will be aggressively brought to the forefront of popular entertainment once again with consistent installments. This is just for starters though, especially for those who hold the original trilogy in high regard, they should be happy. You can expect lovingly restored prints of the original trilogy to surface in the near future. That's a no brainer. I along with the rest of the world want those movies in their original glory. Disney are all over that, believe me. 

Amazing! I don't know about you but I'm swelling with excitement over all of this news right now! There are also directors names already being thrown around, want to know who they are? Of course you do! A lot of our speculation is right in line with what Disney is looking at...

From my understanding the movies that follow will be far more in line with the original trilogy in regards to tone and method, and from the few names I have heard being banded around I am very excited, as they are all choices that I think people will get behind.

- Steven Spielberg, who may actually get to direct his episode of STARWARS after all.

- Neil Blomkamp, District 9, Elysium.

- Alfonso Cuarón, Children of Men, Gravity (which is a masterpiece by the way) When I was told this name, I said that's the guy.

- Matthew Vaughn. Kick Ass, First Class.

- Darren Arnofsky, The Fountain, Noah. (very popular candidate) and has been for a while. 

- Joss Whedon. Serenity, The Avengers. That could work as Joss is currently overseeing Marvels next onslaught under the Disney Banner, but don't hold your breath for a directing gig for many years down the line. He may well have his part to play though ;-)

So very exciting times ahead if you are a STARWARS fan, and especially if you are an original trilogy fan.

Watch this space.

And that's it. So what do you think about this epic Star Wars movie news! Are you ready for the new dawn of Star Wars to begin! I can't freakin' wait! Hit us up with your thoughts!

I can imagine that there are a ton of directors out there that would love to direct a Star Wars movie, and I'm sure several of them are going to try to get in on the Star Wars action. It seems like Disney could get anyone they want to take on Star Wars Episode VII, and it's going to be interesting to see who it is that ends up landing the job.

Here's a few fun comedy video skits parodying some well known directors auditioning for the gig. These directors include Woody Allen, Michael Moore, and Kevin Smith. Enjoy the videos and let us know who you would like to see direct the next installment of the Star Wars franchise.

Who knew Darth Vader was responsible for such economic devastation on Flintooine?

The story of Pixar's Brave will continue with a new spin-off short that they are developing. The new short is called The Legend of Mor'du, and it was directed by Ratatouille storyboard artist Brian Larsen.

A couple of pieces of concept art for the film were revealed to give you a look at the kind of feel that the movie is going for. The art was created by Disney artist Mary Blair. 

According to EW, "Mor’du the demon bear became a bigger and bigger part of the story, but ultimately the film explored only a bare-bones version of the legend – enough to tell moviegoers what they needed to know, while still keeping it mysterious and off to the side, to avoid detracting from the scarlet-haired heroine’s own story."

This short will go into more depth and tell the back story of Mor'du. The director of the short had this to say,

Steve Purcell, the co-writer, came up with idea of a king turned into a legendary bear. As the movie progressed, people [from preview audiences] wanted more and more about Mor’du, so Mark [Andrews, who co-directed Brave with Brenda Chapman] started putting more backstory in, and we started linking together how the kingdom fell.

When talking about what kind of short we would do, I said I would love to expand on all these Mor’du elements, so let’s write this thing to touch on what’s in the movie, but come up with something a little bit deeper. This little short is filling in the middle part for you.

I thought Brave was a great movie, but it was met with mixed reviews. I'll be looking forward to seeing this short. Did you like Brave? What are your thoughts on a short focusing on the story of Mor'du?

The short will be included in the Blu-ray combo pack for Brave, which comes out November 13th.

We already know Marvel plans on making a Doctor Strange and Black Panther films, scripts have been written, and it's just a matter of time before it happens. But for those of you who need a little more confirmation that these movies are coming, Stan Lee is here to give you peace of mind. In a recent interview with District the comic legend had this to say,

Oh they are all being made into movies! I can tell you there will definitely be a Dr. Strange movie! They are working on Antman, which requires really small cameras! Black Panther is being developed, one of my favorites…the Inhumans…All the hero’s will eventually be made into movies." 

All the superheroes will get movies! Damn, he does realize there's over 5,000 of them. But I imagine he means the main heroes that most of us know, and maybe even a few that we don't.

So have you ever wondered what exactly Lee does as an executive producer at Marvel? He doesn't do much, he just enjoys collecting the paycheck. Here's what he had to say when asked about his duties...

None whatsoever, I have very little control. I don’t see the script, occasionally I will have lunch with the director or a star, like the guy making Antman, I don’t remember his name- I don’t remember names, or Robert Downey Jr., for Ironman and we talk about the characters. But all I do for the movies are the cameos really. Then when the movie comes out I am excited to see it just like all of you. I’m seeing it for the first time.

His name is Edgar Wright Stan, and that must be a great job to not really have to do anything anymore. I guess he's earned it... right? He definitley talks to a lot of people so he should have a good idea of what is going on over at Marvel.

My most anticipated Marvel movie at this point is Dr. Strange, and who knows when Marvel will actually get around to making it. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Maybe he'll make his debut in Thor: The Dark World like it was previously rumored, or maybe he'll show up somewhere in phase three of Marvel's movie universe. 

What Marvel character are you most looking forward to seeing that hasn't been made into a movie yet?

Here's a great piece of CG art created by CGHUB artist hansanhan featuring Lady Thor. This is a pretty cool character design. I do hope she puts on a little more armor before running into battle. What do you think of the design?

Jennifer Connelly and Cillian Murphy are set to star in a new drama called Cry/Fly, which is the English-language debut of one of Latin America's female directors and writers, Claudia Llosa. Inglourious Basterds star Melanie Laurent is also in negotiation to co-star in the movie as a French journalist.

The film is set in Minnesota and northern Canada and takes place over two different time periods. It "tells the story of a mother (Connelly) whose six-year-old daughter is terminally ill. A dramatic event separates the mother from her sick daughter and falcon-keeper son, and 20 years later, the son is persuaded by a journalist to embark on a search for his now-famous mother."

It sounds like a heavy movie, and it's got a hell of a good cast. The movie starts shooting in February. What are your thoughts on this one?

The Expendables 2 and The Mechanic director Simon West is set to direct Jason Statham in a remake of the 1986 action drama Heat, which starred Burt Reynolds. 

The story for the film centers on a compulsive gambler who ends up on the streets of Vegas, where he takes odd jobs providing "security" to support his gamblingaddiction. After his friend is brutally beaten he's forced to take on the Vegas mob. The script is a modernized version of the original, which was written by William Goldman and based on his novel.

It's a perfect movie for both West and Statham to take on. I've never seen the orignal film, so this is one of the few times I really don't care about a movie being remade, and I'll watch anything that Statham is in. He always tends to make entertaining films. 

The next film we'll get to see Statham in is Parker on January 25th, 2012. Have you seen the original film? If so, do you think it need to be remade?

Warner Bros. is still looking to develop a film based on Rod Serling's iconic series The Twilight Zone. The screenplay was recently re-written by Jobey Jarrold from a script previously written by Jason Rothenberg and Anthony Peckham. Matt Reeves was attached to direct it at one point but dropped out to develop Dawn of the Planet of the Apes for FOX. 

As of right now, the movie is directorless. It was previously revealed that the movie wasn't going to be an anthology like the first one made in the 80's. This one will tell one story that incorporates Twilight Zone elements. Thanks to Vulture we've got some information on what the movie will be about. "It follows a test pilot who winds up breaking the speed of light; when he puts down his craft, he discovers that he’s landed a bit late for supper — 96 years late."

So the film has a time travel element which fits right in with a few of Serling's Twilight Zone episodes. Hell, Twilight Zone made time travel cool! Some of those episodes include No Time Like the Past, The Last Flight, A Hundred Yards Over the Rim, The Odyssey of Flight 33, and Walking Distance.

This movie sounds like it could be influenced by The Last Flight which follows a World War I British biplane fighter pilot named Terry Decker who lands at an American air force base in France 42 years in the future when there are jets. The pilot had strayed from his squadron and one of the members turns out to be the Air Vice Marshall of the base, Alexander Mackaye. Everyone is surprised when the Mackaye called him by his nickname. The pilot realizes he can gain a second chance to save his squadron, so he ends up flying back in time to do so. It is later discovered that he succeeded, at the cost of his own life.

It sounds to me like the movie was definitely inspired by this episode, but the outcome of the movie might turn out different. What are your thoughts on the plot of the Twilight Zone movie?
