LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Leonardo DiCaprio is eyeing a big-screen remake of cult television series "The Twilight Zone," it was reported Friday.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, DiCaprio's production company Appian Way is seeking script ideas for a film based on the classic television series, which spanned more than 150 episodes between 1959 and 1964.

The report said a "Twilight Zone" feature film would probably be a passion project for DiCaprio, who has cited the series as his favorite show.

The Oscar-nominated star of 2006 hits "Blood Diamond" and "The Departed" will next be seen later this year in the Ridley Scott-directed spy thriller "Body of Lies" and the Sam Mendes drama "Revolutionary Road."
