Stone Village has picked up spec thriller The Field, by tyro scribes Sean Wathen and Josh Dobkin. The story (which sounds like an episode right out of "The Twilight Zone") is set in an endless field, where a group of strangers wake up with seemingly random items and must find a way out. Stone Village is producing and financing. Benderspink exec produces. Stone Village's recent credits include the Javier Bardem starrer "Love in the Time of Cholera" and the horror pic "Turistas." It is developing a remake of Akira Kurosawa pic "Ikiru" at DreamWorks and a bigscreen adaptation of Spanish novel "The Anatomist."
Being a big Twilight Zone fan, I know exactly the episode THE FIELD is borrowing from. It's called "Five Characters in Search of an Exit". 1961 to be exact. It has a clown, ballerina, hobo, army major and bag pipe player who all wake up in a huge metal cylinder with no doors or windows without any explanation how they all got there and why. Love the Zone.One of the best series ever on t.v. If THE FIELD can be as clever as the great Rod Serling, this might be good.
they better not fuck up the ending of this movie with something dumb. That episode was classic and had a badass ending with a cool twist, hopefully they came up with something just as good
