Michael B Jordan's "breathtaking" heist thriller remake gets seriously cool trailer

The first full trailer for Michael B Jordan's upcoming heist thriller is finally here. Directed by and starring the Sinners actor, The Thomas Crown Affair is described in the synopsis as a "visually breathtaking, sensual, and unexpectedly moving heist thriller, where the most dangerous man in the room is the one nobody's watching".

The film's first trailer delivers on that promise, taking viewers on a high-octane thrill ride in just under two and a half minutes.

We see Jordan in character as Mr Crown, liaising with Adria Arjona's Ms Bennett, grappling up high-rise buildings, driving expensive sports cars, and stealing priceless artwork.

Bennett is then told by Kenneth Branagh's character to retrieve his missing Van Gogh painting for a £10 million reward.

A twisted cat-and-mouse game ensues to catch Mr Crown, who has so far stolen five famous pieces from across the globe as part of a plan that is thought to be about something "far bigger than theft".

"Revenge is a work of art," flashes across the screen, with Branagh's character promising to "break" Crown.

The cast of The Thomas Crown Affair also includes Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira, and Pilou Asbæk.

The upcoming remake is based on the 1968 movie of the same name starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, which was then remade in 1999 with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.

As well as The Thomas Crown Affair, Jordan is set to appear in a movie remake of the TV show Miami Vice, called Miami Vice '85.

The Thomas Crown Affair comes to UK cinemas on 5 March.
