Benicio Del Toro as Richard Ramirez

In 1984 and 1985, Ricardo “Richard” Ramirez, right, committed a series of abductions, rapes and robberies that terrorized Californians from Orange County to San Francisco. Media dubbed him “The Night Stalker.” “21 Grams” star Benicio Del Toro would be perfect to channel Ramirez’s intensity.
