ABC OKs Night Stalker Pilot
ABC has ordered a pilot of an updated Night Stalker series from former The X-Files executive producer Frank Spotnitz, Variety reported. The show will rework the classic 1970s ABC show Kolchak: The Night Stalker, which detailed a hard-boiled journalist's investigations into freakish occurrences, the trade paper reported.
Ironically, The X-Files creator Chris Carter has said he was inspired in part by the original Night Stalker series, which starred Darren McGavin.
Bentley Rides Ghost
American Beauty star Wes Bentley will play the villain Blackheart in Ghost Rider, the Columbia Pictures movie starring Nicolas Cage and based on the Marvel Comics series, Variety reported. Mark Steven Johnson (Daredevil) will direct.
Ghost Rider deals with a motorcyclist who makes a pact with dark forces, gets double-crossed and battles the bad guys to protect the woman he loves. Johnson rewrote a Shane Salerno script.
Bentley is a pal of Colin Farrell, who played the memorable villain Bullseye in Daredevil. Farrell put Bentley and Johnson together, the trade paper reported. Ghost Rider begins shooting next month in Australia.
