Kenneth Branagh and Lily Gladstone have joined the cast of Michael B. Jordan’s remake of ‘The Thomas Crown Affair.’
Taylor Russell is already on board as a suave private detective. Character details for Gladstone and Branagh have yet to be disclosed.
Jordan is not only set to star but also direct and produce the reimaging for Amazon MGM. Charles Roven has also joined the project to produce the film via his Atlas Entertainment banner.

The original movie starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway and involved a man who organises bank robberies for sport but meets his match when he falls for (or maybe not) the insurance investigator hot on his tail. The 1999 remake starred Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.
Drew Pearce wrote the script for the remake after a previous draft was written by Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson, which was based on the original film.
Patrick McCormick and Marc Toberoff of Toberoff Productions will also serve as producers. Alan Trustman, who wrote of the original 1968 film, is an executive producer.
