Edgar Wright will direct The Night Stalker
The project was initially set up through Disney and Johnny Depp's Infinitum Nihil banner last summer. The thriller is based on a 1972 TV movie of the same name, which starred Darren McGavin as Carl Kolchak, a journalist who begins tracking a serial killer, only to discover the murderer is actually a vampire. The TV movie spawned the series Kolchak: The Night Stalker, which debuted in 1974. Johnny Depp will play Carl Kolchak, although no other cast members are attached yet.
The Night Stalker doesn't have a screenwriter in place as of yet, although that will likely change soon with Edgar Wright attached. Johnny Depp will produce with his Infinitum Nihil partner Christi Dembrowski. It isn't known when production may start on The Night Stalker.
The Night Stalker comes to theaters in 2014 and stars Johnny Depp. The film is directed by Edgar Wright.

OH HELL NO! Leave the tv series alone....this show taking place in the 70s, just the right atmosphere and no one can replace McGavin -______________-

It'll be nice to see Depp in something other than a pirates outfit or a Burton film.

@cripple agreed. Edgar Wright is so solid and I think he can get an awesome performance out of Depp.
