Michael B. Jordan to Lead New Thomas Crown Affair
Michael B. Jordan is set to direct and star in a new version of The Thomas Crown Affair, returning the classic art-heist story to the big screen. Jordan will play Thomas Crown, a global art thief, in a film written by Drew Pearce and Jason Hall.
The new movie follows two established adaptations: the 1968 film starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, and the 1999 version led by Pierce Brosnan. Both films centered on the sophisticated criminal at the heart of the story, whose high-profile art thefts drive the plot.

Jordan’s involvement as both star and director places him at the center of the production. The project is also notable for bringing Pearce and Hall together to write the screenplay for the new art-heist feature.
Release Date Set for March 2027
