Michael B. Jordan To Direct And Star In A Remake Of ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’

Buy Me A Coffee

Michael B. Jordan is about to rob theaters of their attention once again, but this time, he’s not just punching bad guys in a boxing ring—he’s getting behind the camera for a heist of Hollywood proportions!

The 37-year-old actor (who apparently ages slower than fine wine) has decided that starring in movies just isn’t enough anymore. No, no. Now he’s directing and starring in the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair. Yes, the one where a super-rich guy decides art theft is his cardio. Amazon MGM Studios is letting Jordan call the shots, so expect some jaw-dropping action, dazzling visuals, and maybe even a cameo from his abs (because why not?).

If you’re thinking, “Wait, didn’t we already have a Thomas Crown Affair with Pierce Brosnan doing his best ‘007-but-make-it-artsy’ impression?” You’d be right! Brosnan was the debonair art thief back in 1999, where he went toe-to-toe (and lip-to-lip) with Rene Russo’s insurance investigator. But hold on, it goes deeper—this isn’t just a sequel. Oh no, it’s a reboot of a reboot! The OG version starred none other than Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway in 1968. That’s right, the “Granddaddy of Cool” McQueen himself.

And now, Jordan’s next mission—besides looking amazing in every single frame—is to find his leading lady. Rumor has it the casting process is being done with a magnifying glass because, well, whoever joins this art-stealing escapade needs to bring the heat. Jordan may be the king of the heist, but every crown needs a queen, right?

Plot details? Locked up tighter than Fort Knox. But the script’s coming from Drew Pearce, which means we can expect some slick dialogue and maybe a plot twist or two that’ll leave us scratching our heads and loving every minute of it.

So, prepare yourselves for The Thomas Crown Affair 3.0. It’s coming to theaters, courtesy of Amazon MGM, and it’s probably going to make us all consider a side hustle in stealing art—just kidding, FBI, we’re totally law-abiding citizens. For now.
