‘The Twilight Zone’ Trailer: What Dimension Are You Even In?
After a shortteaser during the Super BowlintroducedJordan Peeleas the new host of the CBS All Access revival ofThe Twilight Zone, we finally have a full trailer that teases the new mind-bending sci-fi stories coming to the streaming service this spring. WatchThe Twilight Zonetrailer below!
The Twilight Zone Trailer
The originalTwilight Zoneseries began with this voiceover:
It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
This new trailer doesn’t use that famous opening, but instead opts for ominous snippets of dialogue from the various characters at the center of the short stories that make upThe Twilight Zone.
The first one we recognize right out of the gate isAdam Scottin the remake of “Nightmare At 30,000 Feet,” the famed segment brought to life by William Shatner in the original series and John Lithgow in the feature film adaptation. Scott is clearly fearful of flying just like the original character. The two aforementioned approaches to the story featured some kind of creature making the passenger in question even more paranoid and frightened. However, there are some shots in this one that make it look like the plane might actually crash this time.
Though that’s the only segment we know for sure is getting remade in this new take onThe Twilight Zone,there are shots in here ofJacob Tremblaywhere it looks like he might be treated like President of the United States. That makes us wonder if this is a new spin on the “It’s A Good Life” segment, where a kid can make anything he wants happen with the power of his mind.
Plus there’s also this shot making reference to the episode “Nick of Time,” so maybe that’s getting remade too:
We also catch brief glimpses of the rest of the cast, which includesIke Barinholtz, John Cho, Lucinda Dryzek, Taissa Farmiga, James Frain, Ginnifer Goodwin, Zabryna Guevara, Percy Hynes-White, Greg Kinnear, Luke Kirby, Sanaa Lathan, Kumail Nanjiani, Rhea Seehorn, Alison Tolman, Jefferson White, Jonathan Whitesell, Jessica Williams, DeWanda Wise,andSteven Yeun.
On top of that, there are even some stars appearing here who we didn’t know were part ofThe Twilight Zone.Tracy Morganis spotted at a comedy club asking a bar patron if they’re happy with their life.John Laroquettecan also be seen standing next to Alison Tolman in another shot. So there might be some more faces popping up we weren’t expecting to see.
Of course, Jordan Peele makes an appearance, and we’ll be seeing plenty of him when the show launches with the first two episodes onApril 1, 2019. The rest of the episodes will follow on Thursdays startingApril 11, only on CBS All Access.
The Twilight Zoneis produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions andSimon Kinberg’s Genre Films. Jordan Peele and Simon Kinberg serve as executive producers along withWin Rosenfeld, Audrey Chon, Glen Morgan, Carol Serling, Rick Berg,andGreg Yaitanes.
