Disney Won't Let Go Of Johnny Depp!

By Larry Yepez Jr.

Walt Disney Pictures and Johnny Depp's Infinitum Nihil production company are developing two new films: a remake of The Night Stalker and a movie about Paul Revere's midnight ride.  Disney loves Johnny Depp, and with good reason. Who wouldn't love a man ho brings home over 4.5 billion dollars?

The Night Stalker is based on the 1972 ABC-TV movie that turned into the series "Kolchak: The Night Stalker." It was about a newspaper reporter in Chicago who investigated mysterious deaths, often with a supernatural  or sci-fi twist.

The Paul Revere movie is based on the revolution hero and his famous 1775 midnight ride to warn the colonist of a British invasion. Paul Revere was recently brought to light again after former Alaska Governor and vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, blabbered out wrong information on the Revere story.

Lee and Janet Batchler (Batman Forever) will write that movie. No writer has been attached to Night Stalker yet.

It seems that Disney and Depp united is a nonstop money-making machine. Depp is responsible for Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean saga having grossed over $3.5 billion at the worldwide box office. With Alice in Wonderland, Johnny brought Disney another $1 billion and is sure to make much more with the upcoming film The Lone Rager and perhaps a fifth Pirates flick in the future.

What do you think of the Disney-Depp collaborations?
