Michael B. Jordan has selected his sophomore directorial effort, opting to helm a reimagining of “The Thomas Crown Affair.” Jordan had already been reported to be starring in the Amazon MGM Studios production back in 2016.
“Thomas Crown Affair” will get a worldwide theatrical release. Jordan is producing via his Outlier Society banner alongside Elizabeth Raposo. Plot details are under wraps, but Jordan will direct from a script by Drew Pearce. A previous draft was written by Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson, which was based on the original 1968 film starring Steve McQueen.
Patrick McCormick and Marc Toberoff will also serve as producers on “Thomas Crown Affair.” Alan Trustman, writer of the 1968 film, is an executive producer. This new movie is the third version of the classic romantic heist story, after the 1999 remake starring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.
