Rather than stealing victory from the jaws of defeat in Creed, Michael B. Jordan is stealing pieces of fine art in The Thomas Crown Affair. His reimagining of the 1968 Steve McQueen classic and the 1999 Pierce Brosnan remake (which I prefer) leans more on action than the others, but it hasn’t overlooked the sexy games of deception and temptation the stylish thriller is remembered for.
Written by Drew Pearce and Jason Hall, The Thomas Crown Affair stars Jordan as a billionaire businessman with a lust for life who gets his kicks by stealing works of art, until he falls for the insurance investigator hired to follow him.
The film marks Jordan’s sophomore effort behind the camera, following Creed III. Joining him in the cast are Adria Arjona, Lily Gladstone, Kenneth Branagh, Danai Gurira, and Pilou Asbæk.
Amazon MGM Studios will release The Thomas Crown Affair in theaters on March 5th 2027.
