Deadline reports that Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World) has been brought on board to direct the big screen adaptation of NIGHT STALKER that is being spearheaded by Johnny Depp.
Depp and his Infinitum Nihil partner Christi Dembrowski will produce with Wright helping to shape the Disney project. To me Depp is the guy for the job with his ability to make these kind of crazy characters his own.
Depp will star as Carl Kochak, the character from the 70's movie and series that oroginally starred Darren McGavin. Kolchak was a reporter for a tabloid and his cases always led him to supernatural discoveries that included zombies, vampires, werewolves, aliens and more.
