· Angelina Jolie has signed to star opposite Pierce Brosnan in the sequel to The Thomas Crown Affair, which the former 007 is hoping to turn into a franchise to rival Bond, according to the Sun. The Topkapi Affair starts shooting next year in Egypt and Russia after Jolie wraps Wanted, an action thriller in which she stars opposite James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman.

Meh. I was hoping Brosnan would continue making awesome decisions like The Matador and Seraphim Falls. The film may be good, but a sequel to a remake that was just OK starring one of my most loathed actresses today just doesn't fill me with hope.

I really liked The Thomas Crown Affair and not just because of Rene Russo. As long as the sequel is as slick and clever as the first, I'm all for it. Angelina Jolie's addition can't be a bad thing either.

The Thomas Crown Affair is a seriously underrated film. I loved it.


The brilliant scene in which a swarm of men in buisness suits and bowler hats pull a switcheroo makes the film so worth it.
