Johnny Depp’s ‘Thin Man’ remake reportedly hits skids
LOS ANGELES - Johnny Depp’s ‘Thin Man’ remake won’t be coming soon to a theatre near you. According to Deadline.com, Warner Bros has slowed down the process on the presumed blockbuster, with attached director Rob Marshall moving on to ‘Into the Woods’. That leaves ‘The Thin Man’ without a director, leading actress or green light; Warner Bros. has received a budget for the project, but nothing has been accepted just yet. Per Deadline.com, the party line is that Depp needs a break. A closer look at the last couple of months, however, paints a slightly more bleak outlook. For starters, there was the Depp-led ‘Dark Shadows’, which Warner Bros released on May 11 and for which the profit margin is slim at best. Budgetary problems are also at the forefront of Depp’s current project, ‘The Lone Ranger’. Disney is producing that reboot, and while director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer were forced to drop the budget down to $210 million, it has reportedly shot up to $250 million — a number that Disney previously bristled at last year. To make matters worse, Depp’s personal life is in the news as well. The actor announced that he had split from his long time girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis, after 14 years together. The pair have two children.
