Writer Hired For Edgar Wright's 'NIGHT STALKER' Starring Johnny Depp

HeatVision reports Disney has hired D.V. DeVincentis (High Fidelity, Grosse Pointe Blank, Lay The Favorite) to adapt The Night Stalker for director Edgar Wright (Ant-Man, World's End, Shaun of The Dead). The horror comedy has Johnny Depp in the lead as a tabloid reporter who seemingly is always confronted with horrific creatures with his editor never believing him. After the low return numbers for Dark Shadows (another horror comedy based on a old television series) it will interesting to see how much energy and money Disney will be willing to pump into the project.
