Kenneth Branagh, Producer Charles Roven Set For ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ At Amazon MGM


'The Thomas Crown Affair' has added Kenneth Branagh to its cast, bringing aboard Oscar winner Charles Roven to produce.

While plot details are being kept under wraps, both the original 1968 film from United Artists and the 1999 remake from MGM were heist stories revolving around a wealthy, thrill-seeking man who orchestrates a high-stakes robbery simply for the challenge, only to find himself entangled in a complex cat-and-mouse game with a brilliant investigator. As you’ll recall, Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway starred in the first Thomas Crown Affair, directed by Norman Jewison, while Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo toplined the ’90s remake, helmed by Die Hard ‘s John McTiernan. Currently, the company is in post on Mercy, a sci-fi thriller for Amazon MGM starring Chris Pratt, Rebecca Ferguson, Kali Reis and Annabelle Wallis, which is slated for release in theaters on January 23, 2026.
