Lou Diamond Phillips to Play Serial Killer Richard Ramirez in NIGHT STALKER Movie
Lou Diamond Phillips is set to star in a new movie called Night Stalker in which he will play notorious real life Los Angeles serial killer Richard Ramirez.
The indie drama is being written and directed by Megan Griffiths, and the story follows a lawyer who, “in order to save another man from execution, attempts to evoke a confession from the aging Ramirez.” The film will incorporate Ramirez’s real killing spree which took place from 1984 to 1985, but movie's plot is fictional.
Ramirez was convicted on 13 counts of murder and five attempted murders among other crimes. He died of lymphoma on Death Row in 2013. This sounds like it will be a fascinating film.
