Thomas Crown is switching things up! It’s been confirmed that Joseph Shirley is set to compose the score for Michael B. Jordan’s upcoming remake of The Thomas Crown Affair!
Michael B. Jordan’s upcoming remake is the second of the original 1968 film starring Steve McQueen. It follows the equally successful 1999 film starring Pierce Bronson. The film centers on Thomas Crown, a multi-millionaire who plans an art heist for no reason other than pure boredom. As he crosses paths with an insurance investigator, the pair fall in love and find themselves caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Jordan stars as well as directs, his second directorial effort following Creed III. He’s joined by Adria Arjona, Kenneth Branagh, Lily Gladstone, and Danai Guiria. Grammy-winning musician Jon Batiste was previously reported to score the film, but he’s no longer involved for unknown reasons. He has since removed all posts pertaining to the film off his Instagram.
Joseph Shirley got his start as a score programmer, frequently working with Academy Award-winning film composer Ludwig Göransson. After working as an additional composer on the first two seasons of The Mandalorian, Shirley would score The Book of Fett and would go on to replace Göransson on The Mandalorian’s third season. Shirley also took over scoring duties for Creed III due to Göransson’s commitments to Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Shirley has also scored Jackass Forever, Is God Is, and The Gallerist.
The Thomas Crown Affair drives into theaters on March 5th, 2027.
