Saw V - VII writers scribing The Outer Limits!

I thought MGM was bankrupt? Anyway, the ruined company has hired Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton to write a feature length script for The Outer Limits. If you're not familiar with the show, it ran for years in the 1970's and then again from like 1998 to 2002 (these dates are probably wrong). While the Saw flicks aren't my favourite, I'm genuinely intrigued by this news. A feature of The Outer Limits could be excellent, if done right. But then nostalgia is a deadly weapon, so perhaps I'm remembering the show as amazing when all it really was was series upon series of Twilight Zone rips. Either way, let's hope this comes to pass!

Origin story from Variety!
