Several of his interviews with The Twilight Zone actors, directors and producers are available as special features on the Twilight Zone: The Complete Definitive Collection DVD box set, and are accessible as alternative audio tracks for the associated episodes. He has also contributed to the Magic Time novel trilogy, a collaborative effort between Zicree and three other science fiction writers.

Space Command

With writer Michael Reaves and director Neil Johnson, and using crowd funding for financing, Zicree is working on a series of films under the umbrella title Space Command. A Kickstarter project page, launched by Zicree in May 2012, raised funds of $75,000 (its initial goal) in three days, and went on to raise over $220,000 during the Kickstarter campaign, making it one of the most successful crowd funding campaign as of that date.[2]

The Space Command series has gone on to feature some of Science Fiction's most famous stars alongside many fresh new faces, including Doug Jones, Robert Picardo, Bill Mumy, Mira Furlan, Bruce Boxleitner, Nichelle Nichols, Ethan McDowell, Bryan McClure, Elizabeth Chamberlain, Christina Moses, Aaron Gaffey, and with Neil deGrasse Tyson even appearing as himself.
