Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap and Brad Pitt’s Plan B in Talks to Remake ‘The Thin Man’

Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment and Brad Pitt’s Plan B shingle are in talks to obtain the remake rights of the comedy-crime movie “The Thin Man,” TheWrap has learned.

According to insiders with knowledge of the project, the rights to “The Thin Man” only recently became available. LuckyChap and Plan B had been eyeing this for some time prior to the strikes. No discussions of who will star are happening in respect to the SAG-AFTRA strike; however both companies would produce together.

“The Thin Man” is a 1934 hardboiled detective novel by author Dashiell Hammett, featuring the characters of Nick and Nora Charles. It was adapted into a successful film series starring William Powell and Myrna Loy that ran from the 1930s to the 1940s.

Cutting Class: Brad Pitt slasher is getting a 4K release

Back in 1989, just a few years before he broke into the Hollywood A-list level, Brad Pitt starred alongside Donovan Leitch, Jill Schoelen, Roddy McDowall, and Martin Mull in the slasher movie Cutting Class – and MVD Rewind Collection has announced that they will be celebrating the 35th anniversary of Cutting Class by giving the film a 4K release on January 16th!

Directed by Rospo Pallenberg from a screenplay written by Steve Slavkin, Cutting Class has the following synopsis: High school can be murder. Just ask Paula (Jill Schoelen, The Stepfather). Her overprotective father disappears during a weekend hunting trip. She’s being romantically pursued by Brian Woods (Donovan Leitch, The Blob), a creepy classmate who recently graduated from a mental institution. Her jealous jock boyfriend Dwight (Brad Pitt, Moneyball) is looking for any reason to release his juvenile rage. The lecherous school principle Mr. Dante (Roddy McDowall, Fright Night) is after her student body, and her friends and teachers are rapidly falling victim to a silent, shadowy mass-murder. As the body count rises, Paula begins to suspect that any one of her reckless suitors could be the twisted killer. But unless she learns his identity soon, her high school education will quickly come to a nasty end.

Brad Pitt Launches New ‘Petite Fleur’ Champagne

Champagne, the French say, is a measure of grapes, soil, time and love. In Brad Pitt’s case, you can add a touch of rosé.

Having successfully launched Fleur de Miraval (the only maison in France dedicated exclusively to rosé champagne) three years ago, the actor and his partners are releasing a surprising new bottle this fall: Petite Fleur (translating to “little flower”).

It carries a pink shade and fresh notes of spring flowers, which have become the house signature.

Equally familiar to the house’s previous releases, Petite Fleur is a limited brut blending Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Cote de Blancs chalk-rich soil, specifically the fields around Mesnil-sur-Oger, France and Pinot Noir from the neighboring village of Vertus.

Pitt is cool and calm in the series of photos that feature a European backdrop. From roaming cobblestone streets to rolling up in a vintage car, Pitt is meant to exude Mediterranean luxury in the portraits. Of course, he also sips on De’Longhi drinks in the photos.

“For me, coffee is not just a simple drink, it creates connections, it allows you to carve out a moment dedicated to yourself, take a break and enjoy the moment,” Pitt said in a statement.
