\"Johnny<\/a>Guest blogger Andrea Tuccillo writes:<\/p>\n

So I think maybe I\u2019m a little psychic. Or maybe just super intuitive.<\/p>\n

Way back in February of last\u00a0year, I wrote a post about franchises<\/a>, focusing specifically on The Thin Man<\/a> series and also referencing the shoulda-stopped-after-one Pirates of the Caribbean<\/a> series. Little did I know over a year later these two franchises would be magically combined! How is this mash-up possible, you ask? Picture Johnny Depp <\/a>as Nick Charles, the cocktail-sipping, fast-quipping detective originated by William Powell<\/a>, and you\u2019ll get what I mean.<\/p>\n

According to the Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, it seems Warner Bros. is remaking the 1930s-through-’40s franchise (six films over 13 years) with Captain Jack Sparrow himself in the lead role. Word is, Depp\u2019s been trying to convince his Pirates 4 director Rob Marshall <\/a>to direct him on this film, too. Mind you, all of this is still in its early stages – there\u2019s not even a script yet. But it\u2019s an interesting prospect, no? We already know Depp has wit and swagger – plus he can rock a thin mustache.<\/p>\n

Who do you think will snag the role of Nora, Nick\u2019s sassy, wealthy wife and partner in solving crime, originally played by Myrna Loy<\/a>? Cate Blanchett<\/a>? Or am I just saying that because I believe she can do no wrong?<\/p>\n

Two franchises merging into… a remake. Hollywood’s really working overtime, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
