Trailer: The Thomas Crown Affair

Oh, thank god! Another remake of The Thomas Crown Affair! About time! Sliding into the tailored suit previously worn by Steve McQueen and Pierce Brosnan, Michael B. Jordan takes on the role of high stakes thief Thomas Crown (and also directs, proving that Creed III was no mere curiosity piece), with rising star Adria Arjona looking to go supernova in the role of investigator previously essayed by Faye Dunaway and Rene Russo. “Old white guy” Kenneth Branagh is also in the cast, and guess what? He’s the bad guy! Fuck, didn’t see that one coming! He even mutters the immortal words “I’m gonna break you” while hovering menacingly over Michael B. This looks like good, slick entertainment…even if we’ve seen it all before. The only thing missing is a cover of “The Windmills Of Your Mind” by Kendrick Lamar…
