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.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun Mourns Ziad El Rahbani
Rana Atef President of Lebanon, General Joseph Aoun, mourned the passing of iconic musician and playwright Ziad Rahbani, who died today at the age of 69 after an extraordinary artistic journey. In an official statement from the Lebanese Presidency, Aoun said, 'Ziad Rahbani was not just an artist—he was a complete intellectual and cultural , phenomenon. He was a living conscience, a rebellious voice against injustice, and a truthful mirror of the suffering and marginalized.' Aoun praised Rahbani's unflinching dedication to truth, saying: 'He wrote the pain of the people and played the strings of truth without compromise. Through his purposeful theater and his music—rich with innovation that blended classical, jazz, and Oriental influences—he offered a unique artistic vision and opened new windows of Lebanese cultural expression that reached global heights.' The president highlighted Rahbani's roots, saying: 'Ziad was a natural extension of the legendary Rahbani family, which gave Lebanon so much beauty and dignity. He was the son of the great Assi Rahbani and Fairuz, our ambassador to the stars. To her, we extend our deepest condolences today. Our hearts are with her in this immense loss, as we also offer our sympathies to the esteemed Rahbani family.' Aoun concluded his tribute by affirming Ziad's lasting legacy: 'Ziad's many exceptional works will remain alive in the memory of the Lebanese and the Arab world. They will inspire future generations and serve as a reminder that art can be a form of resistance, and that words can be a stance. May Ziad Rahbani rest in peace, and may his vibrant music and plays continue to shine as beacons of freedom and calls for human dignity.' Ziad Rahbani was among the most influential and innovative figures in modern Arab music and political theater. Born into an exceptional artistic household as the son of Fairuz and the late Assi Rahbani, he quickly forged a distinct path—blending deep musical sophistication with biting political satire and black humor. His voice, spirit, and artistic vision left an indelible mark on Lebanese and Arab culture. 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 Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall 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 Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
