As always we love reporting any news relating to ‘Shaun of the Dead’, ‘Hot Fuzz’ and ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ director Edgar Wright. We think he’s a fantastic talent and always thoroughly enjoy any projects he’s involved in. And none come more exciting than the plucky Brit potentially lining up a directing gig on a feature adaption of ‘The Night Stalker’ for Disney. The adaption which is set to star Johnny Depp will be be based on the novel ‘The Kolchak Papers’ by Jeff Rice which was turned into a short lived TV series in the 70’s called ‘Kolchak: The Night Stalker’. It did receive a form of revival back in 2005 when ABC commissioned a new revamped series starring Stuart Townsend and Gabrielle Union which sadly also only ran for a single season much like it’s 70’s counterpart.
