“Creed’s” Michael B. Jordan is starring in MGM’s second remake of “The Thomas Crown Affair.”
The reboot is in early development stages and has no producer, writer or director attached. Jordan teamed with MGM on “Creed,” which was distributed by Warner Bros. and performed well with $172 million worldwide.
The original “Thomas Crown Affair,” directed by Norman Jewison, was released in 1968. Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway starred in the film in which McQueen’s character masterminded a Boston bank robbery of $2.66 million without meeting any of the four thieves. Dunaway played the insurance investigator who realized that Crown had orchestrated the heist.
Director John McTiernan’s 1999 remake starred Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. The film was a solid hit, grossing $124 million worldwide.
Jordan came to Hollywood’s attention as a drug dealer in “The Wire” and in the indie drama “Fruitvale Station.” He starred as Adonis Creed, son of Apollo Creed, in “Creed.”
Jordan is repped by WME. The news was first reported by the Hollywood Reporter.

Question about The Three Musketeers. If there are four of them, why is it The Three Musketeers? Also where the ? are their muskets? I've never once seen the Three Musketeers with muskets.

Athos, Porthos and Aramis were the Three Musketeers. d'Artagnan joins them and eventually becomes a musketeer. -

Oh and why is Orlando Bloom on that poster twice? (3 Muskateers).

Or its just the same film studios and production companies doing the movie and the roles specifically call for the kind of chemistry they had in focus. Tea sippin ass. -

How did he "make" her his costar? Pretty sure Kristen Stewart originally had the role and backed out when will got offered the male role. -

Margot Robbie>> Kristen Stewart in acting and looks anyway.
The question will be if Floyd Lawton (Will) smashes Harley (Margot) like in the comics and cartoon movie.
