Johnny Depp News!

If you like me love Johnny Depp...then you'll only be too excited to hear this news.

Deadline have reported that Johnny Depp's production company Infinitum Nihil and along with Disney have bought the rights to make 'The Night Stalker', and not only this but after pitching the idea of Depp playing Kolchak the reporter from this series who investigated how a killer was draining the blood of girls on the Las Vegas Strip. Then as fans of this cult classic TV series will know, this character then went onto have his own TV series...but as I was born much later after this I am a little in the dark about this TV series and have had the good fortune of hearing about the legendary other TV series that Johnny Depp will be doing which is 'The Lone Ranger'.

Also before I forget, Johnny Depp will already play the lead role in 'The Lone Ranger' but he has pitched to Rich Ross and Sean Bailey (both at Disney) to see if he can also play the title role for this film. Also he will do another film with Disney a drama that will be based on the book 'The Midnight Ride' by Paul Revere about how he went to warn the Colonial militia about the impending British invasion.

Also along with Johnny Depp pitching the idea to play the lead in his production house and Disney's production house remake of the '70's television show 'The Night Stalker'. His Infinitum Nihil partner will be the producer of this as well as David Kennedy being the executive producer.

In the Paul Revere film the writers of Batman Forever Janet and Lee Batchler will write the screenplay for this film. The story for this film of Depp's will show the silversmith and how he took a risky 24 hour 'midnight ride' from Lexington to Charlestown and thus becoming a seminal figure in the American Revolutionary war. Margaret French-Isaac's and Jon Brown who already work at Infinitum will be the executive producers on this project.

Also, Depp's Infinitum has a production deal with GK Films, and I think it's fair to say that Depp and Dombrowski have been very busy of late with the film 'The Rum Diary' (release date October 28th this will be released by FilmDistrict), 'Hugo Cabret' which has been written and directed by Martin Scorsese (release date November 23rd and will be released by Paramount Pictures), as well as 'Dark Shadows' which has had a lot of buzz surrounding it from the moment that it came out that Tim Burton was going to direct this gothic style TV series into a film, this of course will star Johnny Depp.

Oh...if you have heard and no doubt you have heard that Johnny Depp will do a Pirates Of The Caribbean 5...according to Deadline Hollywood that an insider in The Wrap has denied that this will happen so we can all breath a sigh of relief now...or can we? I guess we just have to watch this space
