Kenneth Branagh, Lily Gladstone Added to Cast for "The Thomas Crown Affair" Remake
Yara Sameh Academy Award winner Kenneth Branagh and Academy Award nominee Lily Gladstone have joined Michael B. Jordan in Amazon MGM's reimagining of the heist thriller "The Thomas Crown Affair." Additionally, Charles Roven has come aboard to produce the movie via his Atlas Entertainment banner. The veteran producer was behind last year's remake of "Road House" for the studio. Jordan is not only starring in the heist feature but also directing as well as producing it with his Outlier Society banner. The company's Elizabeth Raposo is also producing. The original Thomas Crown, made by United Artists in 1968, starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway and involved a man who organizes bank robberies for sport but meets his match when he falls for (or maybe not) the insurance investigator hot on his tail. The 1999 remake starred Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. Sources say the action of the reimagining is taking place in Europe while still keeping the art thieving theme. Production begun Monday in London, and the project just added Black Panther star Danai Gurira to its call sheet. Taylor Russell is also in the cast. Jordan is playing the billionaire with the art-loving sticky fingers, while Gurira will play Jordan's confidante, and Russell is the suave private detective. Character details for Gladstone and Branagh are being kept under the umbrella. Amazon MGM has set a March 5, 2027, theatrical release for the romantic thriller. Drew Pearce wrote the script for "Thomas Crown" after a previous draft was written by Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson, which was based on the original movie. Patrick McCormick and Toberoff Productions' Marc Toberoff will also serve as producers. Alan Trustman, who wrote the original 1968 movie, is an executive producer. Branagh won the Oscar in 2022 for original screenplay for his film personal drama "Belfast", which also earned him nominations for directing and for best picture. He already had five previous Oscar nominations under his belt. As an actor, he appeared in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" and will next be seen opposite Ryan Reynolds in "Mayday". Gladstone became the first Native American to be nominated for an Academy Award for best actress, thanks to her starring role opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon". The role also earned her the 2023 Golden Globe for best actress in a drama motion picture, the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Award for female actor in a leading role, best actress of 2023 by the New York Film Critics Circle, and the National Board of Review. Gladstone appeared in Hulu's limited series "Under The Bridge" in another role that earned her various accolades, an Emmy, SAG, and Indie Spirit Award nominations among them. She can currently be seen in Andrew Ahn's "The Wedding Banquet" for Bleecker Street. 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 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer 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 Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Lily Gladstone to be seen in 'The Thomas Crown Affair'
Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone has bagged a pivotal role in Amazon MGM Studios' reimagining of The Thomas Crown Affair, which will be helmed by Michael B Jordan. The character details of Gladstone have not been revealed yet. Oscar winner Kenneth Branagh is also a new addition to the cast, as per Variety. Jordan and Taylor Russell lead the cast of the film, which shoots this summer and is slated for an exclusive theatrical release on March 5, 2027. While plot details are being kept under wraps, both the original 1968 film from United Artists and the 1999 remake from MGM were heist stories revolving around a wealthy, thrill-seeking man who orchestrates a high-stakes robbery simply for the challenge, only to find himself entangled in a complex cat-and-mouse game with a brilliant investigator. Drew Pearce wrote the script for The Thomas Crown Affair, with Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson penning an earlier draft, based on the original film. Patrick McCormick and Toberoff Productions' Marc Toberoff will also serve as producers, with Alan Trustman — who penned the 1968 original — serving as executive producer.
