Michael B. Jordan Directs Remake of The Thomas Crown Affair

Michael B. Jordan is set to both direct and star in a new remake of 'The Thomas Crown Affair' for Amazon MGM Studios, following his successful directorial debut with 'Creed III'. This project marks the third adaptation of the story, originally released in 1968 starring Steve McQueen and remade in 1999 with Pierce Brosnan. Jordan's production company, Outlier Society, will produce the film alongside Elizabeth Raposo, with a script written by Drew Pearce. The new film aims for a theatrical release, continuing Amazon MGM's collaboration with Jordan after their successful distribution of 'Creed III'. The search for Jordan's co-star is underway, with the role expected to attract numerous big-name actresses. The plot details remain under wraps, but the core narrative will revolve around a wealthy thief and his romantic entanglement with a female investigator.
