Michael B. Jordan is set to direct and star in a remake of classic heist movie The Thomas Crown Affair,Deadlinereports.
Jordan will play Thomas Crown, a millionaire adrenaline junkie who orchestrates a bank heist out of boredom. Just when he thinks he’s gotten away with it, he comes up against a skilled female insurance investigator, and Thomas may just have met his match – intellectually and romantically.
This will be the third version of the movie: the original, released in 1968, starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, while a 1999 remake saw Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo take the lead. Moonstruck helmer Norman Jewison was in the director’s chair in ‘68, while Predator director John McTiernan helmed the ’90s version.
