Lily Gladstone cast in The Thomas Crown Affair
Lily Gladstone is set to star alongside Sir Kenneth Branagh in Amazon MGM's re-imagining of The Thomas Crown Affair. The 38-year-old actress and the 64-year-old actor are joining forces with Michael B. Jordan, who is starring in, directing and producing the project through his Outlier Society banner. However, details about Lily and Kenneth's characters are being kept under wraps for the time being. By contrast, it is known that Taylor Russell - who previously starred in the Netflix series Lost in Space - is set to portray a suave private detective in the film. The original Thomas Crown movie - which starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway - followed a woman who was hired to investigate the culprits of a multi-million dollar bank heist. Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo starred in a remake of the film in 1999. The upcoming movie is taking place in Europe, and the art of thieving remains a central theme of the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Drew Pearce has written the script, while Patrick McCormick and Marc Toberoff will serve as producers. Alan Trustman, who wrote of the original film, has been hired as an executive producer on the upcoming movie. The romantic thriller is scheduled for release in March 2027. Meanwhile, Lily previously became the first Native American to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Killers of the Flower Moon. And the film star has admitted that she takes her responsibilities as a "role model" very seriously. Speaking to The Talks, Lily explained: "Given the community that I come from and the structure of what's expected of you at every stage of your life, you are constantly a role model for the generation to step right behind you. "I've always operated in this space of: 'There's somebody watching what I'm doing.' You conduct yourself a certain way when you know your younger cousins are watching what you're doing! "So any pressure does feel immense when we're talking about a film like Killers of the Flower Moon. But that's the gift of being part of a greater community, not just my family, not just my tribal nations, but all of it, everyone. We love seeing our own succeed." Lily is always conscious that she's representing an entire community, rather than just herself. The movie star said: "It doesn't feel like it's all for me, or all about me. It's about all the kids that I've gotten to do some theatre coaching with. This also felt like it was something I was sharing with them, you know?"
