[1] Johnny Depp's fruitful relationship with Disney continues with two new projects, which Depp will be producing with Christi Dembrowski through their company Infinitum Nihil. The first is a feature adaptation of The Night Stalker, a made-for-tv vampire flick from the 1970s, while the other will tell the story of American hero Paul Revere during his famous midnight ride. Both films may yield starring roles for Depp. Read more after the jump. The Night Stalker revolves around an investigative reporter named Carl Kolchak who starts to believe that a Las Vegas-area serial killer may, in fact, be a vampire. The original TV movie, starring Darren McGavin, was such a hit that it gave rise to a follow-up titled The Night Strangler as well as a mid-'70s ABC series titled Kolchak: The Night Stalker. The show featured the title character running into all manner of supernatural creatures, from zombies to werewolves to aliens.
