Edgar Wright to Direct Johnny Depp in Disney's 'The Night Stalker'

Deadline is reporting that Disney has tapped Edgar Wright to The Night Stalker. The movie will be based on the ABC telepic and series of the same name. Depp would play Carl Kolchak, a reporter who always seems to find a supernatural connection to the stories he is investigating.

Wright is best known for directing one of my favorite movies Scott Pilgrim vs the World. His style combined with Depp’s ability to create eccentric characters has me extremely interested The Night Stalker. Since there is currently no script for the film, Wright and Depp will work together along with Depp’s producing partner Christi Dembrowski to adapt the material. Since Wright also has screenwriting experience, it is possible that he could be tapped to pen the script as well.
