As we first told you, Jordan stars and produces Thomas Crown Affair through his Outlier Society, alongside Taylor Russell. The previous movies focused on a rich playboy who steals art. In the 1968 Steve McQueen original that co-starred Faye Dunaway, he's matching his wits against an insurance investigator, while in the 1999 Pierce Brosnan version, the protag meets his match in a detective played by Rene Russo. Plot details on Jordan's version are under wraps.
As previously reported, Drew Pearce wrote the script for the new pic. A previous draft was written by Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson and was based on the original film.
Patrick McCormick and Marc Toberoff will also serve as producers. Toberoff's company is also a production company on the film with Outlier Society. Outlier Society's Elizabeth Raposo is also a producer on the pic. Alan Trustman, writer of the original 1968 film, is an executive producer.
With Mission: Impossible films winding down and Amazon MGM Studios in the early days of 007, The Thomas Crown Affair is being primed as another high-end thriller series. With that in mind, Russell could be creating her own version of the iconic Bond girl.
The 1999 Thomas Crown Affair from MGM minted $69.3 million domestic and $124.3M worldwide, unadjusted for inflation.
Currently on March 5, 2027, Disney and Warner Bros/DC Studios have untitled movies.
