Pierce Brosnan was recently asked at the junket for Chris Columbus’ fantasy-adventure Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, whether he had an update on the proposed sequel to his 1999 thriller The Thomas Crown Affair. He stated:
“We’ve got the fourth script in and this is the closest we’ve gotten in structure to making sense. It’s very very hard. Now we have the character, it’s not really fleshed out, so we have to work on him, Mr. Crown, and her, Miss Moore, another affair, more art, but it has to be an unexpected surprise.” (ComingSoon)
Last mentioned almost two years ago, The Thomas Crown Affair sequel was to be based on the 1964 Peter Ustinov film Topkapi and Eric Ambler’s novel “Light of Day.” Paul Verhoeven was to direct and Angelina Jolie to co-star with Brosnan.
Although there is very little news about this sequel it’s unlikely that this will be the last time we hear of it. In the meantime Brosnan has his hands full with the upcoming release of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief which is out in cinemas February 12.
When do you think the Thomas Crown Affair sequel will come together?
