As a die-hard fan who has followed Michael B. Jordan’s meteoric rise since his breakout role in “Fruitvale Station,” I can confidently say that his decision to direct and star in the new “Thomas Crown Affair” is nothing short of exhilarating! With his impressive acting chops, directorial debut with “Creed III,” and knack for choosing captivating projects, this film promises to be a masterclass in storytelling.
Michael B. Jordan has chosen his next project following the success of his directorial debut, “Creed 3,” which was a spin-off continuation of the Rocky franchise. As one of the most celebrated rising stars from the 2010s with films like “Chronicle,” “Fruitvale Station,” “Just Mercy,” and “Black Panther” under his belt, Jordan’s breakout role was as Adonis Creed in 2015’s “Creed.” Now, fans are eager to see what film he will direct next after the success of “Creed III.” His upcoming project is a remake of the classic heist film, “The Thomas Crown Affair.
As reported by Deadline, Michael B. Jordan is set to both star in and direct a new adaptation of The Thomas Crown Affair, which will be produced by Amazon MGM. Jordan has previously collaborated with Amazon MGM, having distributed Creed III, and his production company, Outlier Society, holds a first-look deal with Amazon. Notably, MGM is planning for a theatrical release of this film. Drew Pearce (known for The Fall Guy) will write the script for The Thomas Crown Affair, and the search is now on to find Jordan’s co-star.
The Thomas Crown Affair Legacy Grows
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but marvel at the latest revival of the iconic Thomas Crown Affair saga, which is now making its third grand entrance on the big screen. The first captivating rendition dates back to 1968 under the skilled direction of Norman Jewison and featuring the charismatic duo, Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. Fast forward to 1999, John McTerninan took the helm, with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo leading the cast. Both adaptations revolve around the enigmatic Thomas Crown, a billionaire with a knack for theft. The original tale unfolds around a daring jewel heist, while the latter focuses on the stealing of priceless artwork. Regardless of the medium, The Thomas Crown Affair is essentially a love story between Crown and the female agent tasked to solve his crimes. Both films were critically acclaimed, with the 1968 version earning an Academy Award nomination for “The Windmills of Your Mind” in the Best Original Song category, while the 1999 adaptation grossed a staggering $124 million worldwide on a budget of just $48 million.
In contrast to the 31-year interval between the initial and remade Thomas Crown Affair, this latest adaptation has been announced 25 years following its predecessor. This presents an opportunity for the film to offer something fresh and acquaint a new audience with the narrative, who might not be familiar with it. Jordan has been pursuing the Thomas Crown Affair since 2016, spurred by the success of Creed. With Creed III highlighting his directorial skills, he now stands poised to finally bring the project to fruition after years of development attempts.
