James Franco
Spider-Man star James Franco’s next directorial effort will be an adaption Philip Carlo’s The Night Stalker which is an account of the infamous serial killer Richard Ramirez who killed 14 victims.
It is thought that Franco is also eyeing up the role of Ramirez for himself. The real Richard Ramirez is currently awaiting the death penalty in California.
Screenwriter Nicolas Constantine has promised that the upcoming movie will focus more on Richard Ramirez the human being than dwell on the acts of violence that landed him the name; The Night Stalker…
“This isn’t a horror film. Nor does it glorify Ramirez in any way. Philip Carlo painted an amazing portrait of Ramirez the human being, and how he became that monster. James Franco shares that vision, and we all agree that he’s the one actor, and now director, who can do that vision justice. He read the material and responded to it immediately.”
