There are rumors that the Rob Marshall remake of The Thin Man might not be happening. Apparently Warner Bros, which has recently cancelled several big projects during pre-production, isn't happy that a lead actress hadn't been found to star opposite Johnny Depp, who most recently starred in the WB's recent disappointing Dark Shadows. Warner denies anything, claiming that the film had yet to be greenlit, or maybe, just maybe, they are realizing that Depp outside of a pirate film doesn't guarantee box office.
