Johnny Depp would like to star in a Thin Man remake now, please

When we do count the clock that tells the time, we note that nothing ‘gainst Time’s scythe can make defense—not even Johnny Depp, who (to put it in less English Lit 101 terms) certainly ain’t getting any younger, and who has only a few more years to play all of the many dream roles he’s kept under his boho floppy hats. Today it’s Nick Charles, dapper drunk detective of Dashiell Hammett’s The Thin Man series, which Depp is reportedly pursuing as a remake with his Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides director Rob Marshall at the helm.
