Edgar Wright to direct Johnny Depp in ‘Night Stalker’

23 Feb

One of our favourite directors is Edgar Wright but we’ve cracked it a bit with him lately because he seems to tweet more than direct.

Of course, he has been very busy working with Marvel Studios on the production of ‘Ant Man’ (that should be aborted ASAP) that he is set to direct, he worked with Joe Cornish on the script to ‘Attack the Block’, and he is working on an “end of the world” film with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
