Michael B. Jordan is ready to face a new direction and acting in the incredible remake of The Thomas Crown Affair as both the actor and the director. The Black Panther and the Creed star has now ventured into directing which, in the presence of current trends, will only make him more important in Hollywood. Its aim is to recreate and update the original storyline of 1968 which was produced and directed by Norman Jewison and starred by Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway.
The plot of The Thomas Crown Affair is centered on the figure of Thomas Crown, a rich playboy who masterminds multiple robberies without any of them being primarily needed. The Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo starring remake released in 1999 was a slinky and cool version of the story. Jordan’s fans, however, now want to go through this process with him as a director, expecting to interpret ‘Crown’.
Michael Jordan’s participation in this remake is indicative of his desire to take his career as a filmmaker further. After a successful horror fiction film which garnered praise directing Creed III, in which he served an actor and director who presented new ideas in the sports drama genre, he is ready to explore new themes. He is an actor who in the past has revealed a desire to direct with startling designs and this new project is likely to bring out the best of him both as an actor and a writer.
Even though no new casting additions have been announced along with a release date for the film, the announcement that Jordan is producing and starring in The Thomas Crown Affair has already stirred the entertainment industry. Bores and those unfamiliar with the original films are keen to understand just what this versatile actor will do to the boring etc. Thomas Crown to his own version.
With the progress of the project, Hollywood, in particular, focuses on Jordan as the marketable figure continues to rebuild his career, on screen and outside the screen.
