6.20 'THE OUTER LIMITS' Heads To The Big Screen:



It appears that MGM has tapped Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister And Deliver Us from Evil), and C. Robert Cargill to pen the script for the upcoming big screen adaptation for 'The Outer Limits'... The film will be based on the 1964 alien invasion episode *Demon With a Glass Hand*...

Original Story: focused on a man with no memory beyond the last 10 days and a computerized hand who discovers he is from the future. The man is being hunted by an alien race who see him as key to their survival but he soon discovers a more complex and terrifying truth...

As of right now the film does not have a director and a release date has not been set.. If you guys didn't know (Demon with a Glass Hand), is one of two Outer Limits stories that James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd lifted from - the other being (Soldier) both written by Harlan Ellison.. Apparently the original Terminator was based on these two episodes... So much so that Cameron and Hurd had to acknowledge Ellison's work in the credits of The Terminator...
