‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ Trailer Lands Ahead of Release With Michael B. Jordan as a Glamorous Art Thief

Some stories never stop tempting Hollywood, and the tale of a bored billionaire who steals art for the thrill of it may be the most seductive of them all. It has already been told twice on the big screen, and now it’s getting a third spin. A fresh look at ‘The Thomas Crown Affair‘ has arrived, and it has plenty of style to go with the suspense.

The project has been a long time coming. Jordan has been associated with it for over a decade, first cast in a remake for MGM in 2016, fresh off the success of the original ‘Creed.’ Since then, the film has evolved a lot, with MGM acquired by Amazon and Jordan stepping behind the camera as well.

Amazon MGM Studios has now released a new trailer for the film, which opens in theaters on March 5. The new footage promises plenty of glamour, intrigue and double-crosses. The release marks the latest look at Jordan’s take after an earlier teaser and a first trailer that debuted at CinemaCon.

Jordan directs, produces and stars in what the studio calls a visually breathtaking, sensual and unexpectedly moving heist thriller. The tagline sells the idea that the most dangerous man in the room is the one nobody’s watching. Amazon MGM has also rated the film PG-13 for violence and action, some sexuality, nudity, strong language and smoking.

Jordan leads an ensemble that includes Adria Arjona, Kenneth Branagh, Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira and Pilou Asbæk. Arjona plays Nadia Bennet opposite Jordan’s Crown. Taylor Russell was originally cast in the role previously played by Faye Dunaway and Rene Russo, before Arjona took over.

Behind the camera, the screenplay is credited to Drew Pearce and Jason Hall. Jordan produces alongside Elizabeth Raposo, Marc Toberoff, Patrick McCormick and Charles Roven, with Alan Trustman, writer of the original film, serving as an executive producer. The film also features an original score by Grammy winner Jon Batiste.

Jordan is following in famous footsteps. The 1968 original was directed by Norman Jewison and starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, while the 1999 remake, directed by John McTiernan, starred Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo and Denis Leary. That version was produced for $48 million and earned $124.3 million at the global box office.

The timing also puts Jordan in a strong position. He arrives with an Oscar for Best Actor, which he won earlier this year for ‘Sinners.’ It’s a notable moment to be directing himself in a classic, and it raises the stakes for how audiences will receive this version.

The basic premise stays familiar. The film follows a billionaire who steals priceless artworks while falling in love with the woman investigating him. Earlier promotional material showed Jordan’s Crown stealing a painting with such finesse that he isn’t caught.

That leaves a lot of room for the new trailer to build on. The story has always depended on charm, chemistry and a cat-and-mouse game between thief and investigator. If the footage is any indication, Jordan is leaning into all three.

This is also a continuing partnership between the actor and the studio. The film reunites Jordan with the studio that released his 2023 directorial debut, ‘Creed III.’ It also fits his larger deal with Amazon MGM, where his Outlier Society banner has a first-look film deal.

With the release date set and fresh footage out, the marketing push for ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ is clearly ramping up. The cast is stacked, the pedigree is strong and the premise has already proven it can work twice. The question is whether Jordan can make a classic heist feel new.

Fans will get their answer when the film arrives in theaters in early March. Until then, the new trailer offers a glossy preview of what Jordan has in store.
