Stahl Staying Thin

Permanent Midnight: author and screenwriterJerry Stahl ("Bad Boys 2") is developing the screenplay for the film remake of "The Thin Man", for director Rob Marshall says Heat Vision.

Stahl is a perfect choise for this...


The 1934 film starring William Powell and Myrna Loy, based on Dashiell Hammett

book, follows an alcoholic former P.I. named Nick Charles and his wealthy heiress wife Nora who investigate a murder that involves an eccentric inventor and his bizarre family.

Five sequels were produced.

David Niven and Maggie Smith's memorable roles in 1976  comedy classic "Murder By Death" were directly inspired by the series.

The new film will keep the period setting of the book, but employ a contemporary sensibility.

Johnny Depp is attached to star and produce with .Christi Dembrowski and Kevin McCormick.
