Warners Bros holds rights to develop a remake of the detective mystery "The Thin Man", by author Dashiell Hammett, previously adapted into a successful series of MGM features, starring actors William Powell, Myrna Loy and 'Asta', a wire fox terrier:
"...set in Prohibition-era New York City, former 2-fisted private detective 'Nick Charles' and his elegant wife 'Nora', a wealthy socialite, spend most of their time cheerfully getting drunk in hotel rooms and speakeasies. Nick and Nora have no children, but own a clever dog named 'Asta'.
