The original series followed Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin), a reporter who investigates mysterious crimes that have a supernatural or sci-fi element.
The show was rebooted a few years ago with Stuart Townsend as Kolchak but was cancelled after a few episodes. The original was a major influence on producer Chris Carter and inspired him to create "The X-Files".
Johnny Depp and Christi Dembrowski will produce the pic with the notion of a Depp playing Kolchak.
No writer is involved at this point, but with Wright in the mix it's expected he, Depp and Dembrowski will rework the project from the ground up.
