Revenge is a Work of Art
Amazon MGM has released a teaser poster for Michael B. Jordan’s upcoming reimagining of The Thomas Crown Affair. In addition to starring in the movie, Jordan is back in the director’s seat after making his directorial debut on Creed III. It also looks as if Jordan is following in the steps of his frequent collaborator, Ryan Coogler, as the poster highlights that this project is filmed for IMAX.
Jordan will lead the film with a cast that also includes Kenneth Branagh, Adria Arjona, Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira and Pilou Asbæk. He directs from a script from Drew Pearce and Jason Hall. The story is by Alan R. Trustman and Drew Pearce and is based on a screenplay by Alan R. Trustman. Jordan also produces the movie with Elizabeth Raposo, Marc Toberoff, Patrick McCormick and Charles Roven. Meanwhile, executive producers include Jason Hall and Alan R. Trustman.
The official synopsis reads,
“Academy Award winner Michael B. Jordan directs, produces, and stars in a visually breathtaking, sensual, and unexpectedly moving heist thriller, where the most dangerous man in the room is the one nobody’s watching.”
The teaser is set to premiere tomorrow, but you can check out the poster below. The film is due out on March 5, 2027.
Jordan’s Baby
Back when Jordan had found out he was nominated for an Academy Award for Sinners, he was just about to head into editing for The Thomas Crown Affair. He said, “So I’m going to be celebrating in a dark room, cutting together a movie for 2027. That’s a baby of mine that I’ve been wanting to make for a really long time, so I’m excited about it. I think it’s not going to be what exactly people are expecting as well. When you’re re-imagining something, it’s not a remake. It’s not a reboot. It’s a re-imagination, and I’m really excited about it because I really care about this movie and its title.“
Jordan also previously explained what the previous incarnations meant to him when he said, “I loved the 1999 version as a kid — Pierce Brosnan, the slickness, the art. I didn’t grow up going to museums, so that film showed me a different side of New York. My mom’s an artist — so I was raised around paints and leather dyeing. It shaped my taste more than I realized. Later, I saw the 1968 Steve McQueen version — the split screens, the style. After Creed, MGM asked what I wanted to do next. I said, ‘Thomas Crown Affair. I need that.’”
