Reader, I love an art heist film, and there are very few good ones. The Mastermind is one. Entrapment is another (don’t look at me like that). But The Thomas Crown Affair has always been been top of this list, both the Steve McQueen/Faye Dunaway 1968 version and the 1999 versions, the latter Pierce Brosnan gem a video store classic in this house.
Now, Michael B. Jordan is restarting the affair, directing his own version with a screenplay by Drew Pearce and Jason Hall and a sublime cast: the Oscar-winning Sinners star himself, alongside Adria Arjona, Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira, Kenneth Branagh, and Pilou Asbæk.
The trailer promises Vincent Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” as a target, high-speed chases, and plenty of luxurious destinations. You son of a bitch, I’m in!
The Thomas Crown Affair hits cinemas March 5, 2027.
