Austin Powers? The Godfather? Wild Things? Our writers on the franchises they would like to revive

This summer, several franchises are being revived, but the Thin Man series is one that deserves a reboot. The original series, which starred William Powell and Myrna Loy as husband-and-wife detectives Nick and Nora Charles, consisted of six films from 1934 to 1947. The films were known for their glamorous 1930s setting, witty banter, and crime-solving. A new Thin Man film would require charismatic leads with great chemistry, a complex plot, and a scene-stealing dog. The leads should be able to ad-lib their own jokes and look stunning in evening wear. The film should have a happy ending and a cavalcade of saucy co-stars. The formula for a Thin Man film is timeless and can be repeated indefinitely. The series is due for a revival, and with the right ingredients, it could be just as fun and entertaining as the originals. A new Thin Man film would be a great way to bring back old-fashioned fun to the big screen. With its lighthearted tone and witty dialogue, a reboot of the Thin Man series could be a great addition to modern cinema.
