Although MGM's future is in doubt, the studio has hired "Saw" franchise writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan to pen a feature take on "The Outer Limits," the sci-fi series that aired on ABC from 1963-65.

A spokesperson for MGM tells Variety that the duo was hired well before the studio's current financial troubles began.

Cale Boyter is overseeing for MGM. Jon Shestack (Ghosts of Girlfriends Past) and Jeremy Stein are producing alongside original series producer Mark Victor.

Curious to see what they'll do with this. I grew up watching the 90's series and recently discovered and fell in love with the originals...hope it turns out well.

Bah- another cash in on a recognizable "brand name."

I just hope it's not as bad as the "Twilight Zone " movie was.
