Michael B Jordan to direct and star in 3rd Thomas Crown Affair remake

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael B. Jordan is to direct a third ‘Thomas Crown Affair’ remake.
The ‘Creed III’ filmmaker previously signed up to star in the Amazon MGM Studios motion picture, and he’s now also expected to helm the project.
Sources have told Deadline that Jordan is to direct the film, and he is also set to produce the movie via his Outlier Society banner, and alongside Elizabeth Raposo.
Jordan is expected to follow in the footsteps of Pierce Brosnan and Steve McQueen by portraying the titular character, after they both led 1999 and 1968 movie versions respectively.
The new motion picture’s logline reads: “A debonair, adventuresome bank executive believes he has pulled off the perfect multi-million dollar heist, only to match wits with a sexy insurance investigator who will do anything to get her man.”
Jordan’s next ‘Thomas Crown Affair’ job is thought to be finding a female lead.
Brosnan starred opposite Rene Russo, while McQueen appeared alongside Faye Dunaway in the first movie.
Plot details for the third remake are being kept under wraps, after Drew Pearce penned the script.
In 2021, Jordan admitted he had been thinking more about the roles he takes on, and the importance of signing up for films like ‘Thomas Crown Affair’ and ‘Fahrenheit 451’, which feature parts that weren’t written specifically for Black actors.
He told Men’s Health UK magazine: “You take these roles that aren’t written specifically for [you] because they have a platform, and you inject yourself and your experience into the character.
“That’s the Trojan horse. Until this past year or so, that was a lot harder to do.
“We’re in this moment in time where I think, now more than ever, places are looking for that, because if not, there are ramifications [and] criticism.”
