It seems Hollywood’s finest actresses are in the running to star opposite Johnny Depp in Rob Marshall‘s The Thin Man, Deadline reports. Depp will star as former private eye and current drunk Nick Charles.
Though no one has yet been offered the part of Nick’s wife Nora, here is the list of ladies meeting with Marshall next week: Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Isla Fisher, Eva Green, Carey Mulligan, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, and Kristen Wiig.
Novel The Thin Man was originally penned by Dashiell Hammett, and brought to the screen as a film series in the 30s, followed by a TV series in the 50s.
Discuss: Any of these ladies seem like a particularly good fit?
AThin Man remake? Well, if it raises the profile of what is a great book and some fine films then I am behind this. Never seen the TV show however. Now to celebrate, in the words of Movk Charles, how about a drink?
I meant Nick Charles. Guess I already had that drink…
