Michael B. Jordan‘s ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ remake has been given a 2027 release date.
The 38-year-old actor and director will helm and star in the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios project, which will be released theatrically and in IMAX on March 5, 2027, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Taylor Russell was previously confirmed to star alongside Michael, who will also produce via his production banner Outlier Society alongside Elizabeth Raposo.
Russell underwent a long casting process that included meetings, auditions and a screen test with Jordan in London at beginning of the year, before landing the role.
Patrick McCormick and Marc Toberoff will also produce, with Alan Trustman, writer of the original film, as executive producer.
This will be the third ‘Thomas Crown Affair’ movie, with the original 1968 movie pairing Faye Dunaway as Vicki Anderson, an investigator hired to discover the culprits of a multi-million dollar bank heist, and Steve McQueen as the orchestrator of the crime, Thomas Crown.
The 1999 movie featured Pierce Brosnan as a rich playboy who enjoyed the thrill of stealing art, opposite insurance investigator Rene Russo.
Plot details on the new film have not yet been revealed.
‘The Fall Guy’ scribe Drew Pearce has written the script, after Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson penned a previous draft.
