Taylor Russell Exits "The Thomas Crown Affair" Remake
Taylor Russell will no longer be involved in Amazon MGM Studios' reimagining of 'The Thomas Crown Affair,' where she was set to star opposite Michael B. Jordan.
Production on the movie, directed by Jordan, is underway in London.
Russell had dropped from the movie due to creative differences, and the studio will be recasting her role as progress continues toward the film's March 5, 2027 theatrical release date.
'The Thomas Crown Affair' also stars Kenneth Branagh, Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira, Pilou Asbæk and Aiysha Hart.
Drew Pearce wrote the script, with plot details being kept under wraps, following a previous draft written by Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson, which was based on the original film.
Jordan and Elizabeth Raposo are producing the picture for Outlier Society, alongside Charles Roven via Atlas Entertainment. Patrick McCormick and Toberoff Productions' Marc Toberoff also serve as producers.
Alan Trustman (writer of the original 1968 film starring Steve McQueen) is an executive producer.
Russell is best known for her standout turns in Trey Edward Shults' A24 feature 'Waves,' for which she won the breakthrough actor award at the Gotham Awards, and Luca Guadagnino's 'Bones and All,' which earned her the emerging actress prize at the Venice Film Festival and nominations from the Gothams and Independent Spirit Awards.
Russell will be seen next in the Korean thriller 'Hope' by Na Hong-jin, opposite Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander and Hoyeon; starring in Frank Ocean's upcoming film opposite David Jonnson; and in talks for a remake of 'Single White Female' with Jenna Ortega for Sony.
She recently made her stage debut in director Jamie Lloyd's critically acclaimed revival of Lucy Prebble's play, 'The Effect,' which had a run in London and New York.
Russell made her directorial debut with the short documentary 'The Heart Still Hums,' which she co-directed and won best documentary short at the Palm Springs International ShortFest.

"Buffy" Reboot Adds Kingston Vernes to Cast
Yara Sameh Kingston Vernes (The Survivor) has been cast in the highly anticipated Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, which has a pilot order at Hulu. He will be a guest star in the pilot, with the character envisioned as a major recurring if the project goes to series. Ryan Kiera Armstrong stars as the new slayer — an introverted high-school student named Nova — in the untitled Buffyverse offshoot, which Sarah Michelle Gellar executive produces in addition to reprising her iconic role as Buffy Summers. Vernes will play Carson, a Junior Olympian and popular student at New Sunnydale Academy who is the object of Nova's (Armstrong) crush and starts noticing her after a life-changing event. In addition to Armstrong and Gellar, Vernes joins previously cast series regulars Faly Rakotohavana, Ava Jean, Sarah Bock, Daniel Di Tomasso, and Jack Cutmore-Scott. Oscar winner Chloé Zhao is directing the pilot, written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman. No additional information has been provided about the project, referred to as the next chapter in the Buffyverse, which comes from 20th Television and Searchlight TV. In a promising sign, a writers room is opening to work on additional scripts, with a March start eyed if the pilot is picked up to series. Vernes was most recently seen in HBO Films' "The Survivor", directed by Barry Levinson and starring Danny DeVito, Ben Foster, and Peter Sarsgaard. He previously played young Mank in David Fincher's Netflix film "Mank" and also appeared in Paul Schoulberg's "So Cold the River". read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
