Actor Michael B. Jordan (37) has chosen his next film after ‘Creed 3’. His second directorial work is a reinterpretation of ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ in which he starred. Report first.
Jordan has already teamed up with production company Amazon MGM Studios, which wants to release the film in theaters worldwide. Plot details are still being kept under wraps, but Michael Bakari Jordan will direct from a script by Drew Pearce (49). Pearce is known for films such as Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, and The Fall Guy.
Patrick McCormick (“Elvis”) and Marc Toberoff (“Bad Boys: Ride or Die”) are producing alongside Michael B. Jordan. Alan Trustman, who wrote the 1968 original, is executive producing. This new version is now the third iteration of the romantic heist tale. The first 1999 remake starred Pierce Brosnan (71) and Rene Russo (70).
Michael B. Jordan currently has several projects in development, including “The Thomas Crown Affair,” his next John Clark film “Rainbow Six” and a sequel to “I Am Legend” with Will Smith (55).
