is there going to be a new night stalker movie i read about it a few months ago i think depp was involved. hope it will be a serious night stalker.
-
I hope it'll be a perfect combination of horror and humor like the best episodes of the series, and I hope they'll have Kolchak be a middle-aged beleaguered has-been reporter like he ought to be.

I think that if Depp sincerely wants to it, it will get done. But, as we've seen, it could take awhile.

Yep, exactly. Here is what I've read about the project so far: as of now, the director will be Edgar Wright, who has directed Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World:
Deadline.com: Disney Taps Edgar Wright To Helm Johnny Depp In ‘The Night Stalker’ Feature Redo (http://www.deadline.com/2012/02/disney-taps-edgar-wright-to-helm-johnny-depp-in-the-night-stalker-feature-redo/)
And just a few weeks ago, D.V. DeVincentis was signed to the project as the screenwriter. He also wrote the High Fidelity screenplay.

So so far, nobody who was connected with DS, except for Johnny. And yeah, it's a Disney film [ghost_blink] [ghost_huh] From the talent involved so far, I don't think it will be serious. But I love Shaun of the Dead, so I'm kind of excited by it- I just hope Disney will let it be dark enough (on the order of Pirates 1 would work for me).
It'll probably take awhile. We don't know what Johnny is doing after Lone Ranger, but some think it may be The Thin Man, as it's already had a director and screenwriter for awhile, and there is some chatter about casting. Or it may be Pirates 5 [ghost_rolleyes]

I really wouldn't be interested in more Night Stalker without the humor.
