Hollywood star Michael B. Jordan is currently planning a modern remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, which is based on the 1968 and 1999 heist films of the same name. After a thorough casting process, Jordan seems to have found his female counterpart for the film. Taylor Russell, who was previously featured in Waves, both Escape Room movies, and Bones and All, has joined the project.

Deadline reports that Russell was the actor selected by Jordan to play opposite him in the heist film. It wasn't an easy casting process, as several other talented performers auditioned. Nevertheless, after a screen test with Jordan himself, she was selected as the next woman in charge of investigating the rich dude who likes to steal (the character was played by Faye Dunaway in 1968 and Rene Russo in 1999).

Jordan is heavily involved in the film as a producer via his Outlier Society banner alongside Elizabeth Raposo.
