Michael B. Jordan x 'The Thomas Crown Affair' - official trailer

The remake we didn't know we needed? This one's been a long time arriving - apparently US actor/director Michael B. Jordan, 39, pitched the idea for a remake of the already classic 'The Thomas Crown Affair' to MGM in 2016. Then Amazon acquired the film studio, creating Amazon MGM Studios to create content for an insatiable public catered for across ever-growing numbers and styles of platforms. Jordan fans are elated that he's got the action-with-a-heart movie which has starred Steve McQueen and Pierce Brosnan in previous versions made, and due for release in March 2027. Some argue that there's no point remaking a movie that's already hit the peak with those two outstanding actors; purists dismiss remakes altogether; others worry about trends towards dilution, emotional over-stimulation, and too much tech for storytelling. But the story of a billionaire thief and an insurance investigator whose cat and mouse game leads to unexpected outcomes is one of those with ongoing appeal, judging by the excitement around this new version, which Jordan directs, produces, and stars in. "The real heist is Michael B. Jordan taking every single job on set," says one YouTube viewer. He's left the score to Jon Batiste, and even in the trailer that's ramping up the tension.
