Michael B. Jordan is set to bring a new version of The Thomas Crown Affair to cinemas.
The first trailer now been released. The actor will play the main character and also direct the film, which is based on a story that has already been told twice before.
The new film, however, sparked massive attention for another reason. Two writers from the 1999 version, Kurt Wimmer and Leslie Dixon, have been given credit for the new screenplay, even though they did not work on this film.
They will share the credit with Drew Pearce, who wrote the latest version.

The decision, meanwhile, came from the Writers Guild of America but the reason behind it has not been shared.
This can also change the credits for Jason Hall, who was named in earlier promotional material.
The story first came to cinemas in 1968, with Steve McQueen playing Thomas Crown as a man who robbed banks.
The 1999 version, starring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo, changed his crime to stealing valuable artwork.
Jordan’s version, moreover, seem to follow the same idea with his character once again going after expensive art.
