A little horror news for you all to think about. I'm not sure how many of you remember the telemovie and television show Night Stalker, but word has just come down that the project is officially moving forward.
The original show/movie followed tabloid journalist Carl Kolchak, whose cases always led to the supernatural including vampires, zombie, werewolves, etc. Of course no one ever believed him, but he always pursued his cases. It's slightly in the same tone as Dark Shadows (which Depp is also working on) but much less like a soap opera.
Depp will be playing the role of Kolchak, originally made famous by Darren McGavin (the father from Christmas Story.) Also, Edgar Wright (Shaun Of The Dead) has been signed to direct the film. Now the only downside is the fact that the studio wants this to play to a more family oriented crowd so it seems that PG-13 will be likely. Still, it may be worth checking out. I'll keep you posted as I hear more. Feel free to hit up the comments section and let us all know your thoughts on The Night Stalker!!!
