Michael B. Jordan’s “Thomas Crown Affair” Gets Major Production Boost

URGENT UPDATE: Michael B. Jordan’s highly anticipated remake of the classic crime thriller, Thomas Crown Affair, just received a significant production update that has fans buzzing. The film, produced by Amazon MGM Studios, is slated for release on March 5, 2027, and early reports indicate that everything is progressing smoothly.

In an exclusive interview with ScreenRant, producer Charles Roven confirmed the exciting status of the project on the red carpet at the PGA Awards, stating, “I’ve got two movies that I’m in post-production on, so those are my bright lights at the moment.” Roven is co-producing alongside Jordan, who is also directing and starring in the film.

The film will feature a star-studded cast, including Adria Arjona, Kenneth Branagh, Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira, Aubrey Plaza, Ruth Negga, and Pilou Asbæk. Notably, Taylor Russell was initially set to join the cast but exited due to creative differences.

The original Thomas Crown Affair premiered in 1968, starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, while the 1999 remake featured Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. While neither film was a critical darling, both achieved commercial success, with the original grossing $14 million on a budget of $4.3 million and the remake earning $124 million against a budget of $48 million.

Jordan expressed his admiration for the 1999 version, stating, “I loved the 1999 version as a kid — Pierce Brosnan, the slickness, the art.” He explained that when he pitched the project to MGM, he envisioned a reimagined narrative that resonates with today’s audience. “I didn’t want a reboot. I wanted a reimagination. The first two films were about rich white guys stealing for fun. That doesn’t land today. Ours is more personal,” Jordan emphasized.

This update marks a pivotal moment for the project, heightening expectations as production progresses. Fans are eager to see how Jordan’s vision will redefine this classic tale for a modern audience.

As the film continues to move forward, anticipation builds for its release in just over three years. Stay tuned for more updates as this thrilling project develops!
