CBS All Access will release a black-and-white version of ‘The Twilight Zone’ in the US

CBS All Access

Here in Canada, Jordan Peele’s take on The Twilight Zone airs on Citytv, but in the US it’s available through CBS All Access. And the streaming service is showing the advantages of having the said service, it can re-release or modify shows in a slightly different format. On May 30th, the show will be coming out with a black-and-white version for the fans who wanted to capture the feel of the original. We aren’t sure if they will keep the original coloured version. But if you’re in the US and hoping to get this version, then you’re in luck. Now, we don’t know if this will make its way here.

Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key will reunite for a stop-motion Netflix film

Academy Award-winner Jordan Peele commented earlier this year that he was done with acting and would rather focus on writing and directing. But it seems the appeal to work with his good friend Keegan-Michael Key was too much to resist as the two are working on a new stop-motion animated film called Wendell and Wild, which will be distributed on Netflix. Wendell and Wild features two mischievous demon brothers that will be played by Key and Peele and it will be directed by Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick. The film will mark Netflix’s second stop-animation acquisition to date (the first one was a film about Michael Jackson’s chimpanzee called Bubbles).

Selick will be working with Argentinian artist Pablo Lobato to design the characters for the film. His style is described as Andy Warhol-esque, giving us an idea of what we might expect from the film. No release date yet has been specified but we’ll keep our eyes and ears peeled for any updates.
