"Does this billionaire thing really work?" Adria Arjona asks Michael B. Jordan across a restaurant table. It is a teasing introduction to a Thomas Crown who soon swaps dinner conversation for gadgets, high-security break-ins and rooftop leaps.
"The Thomas Crown Affair | Official Trailer" passed 1.2 million views in its first 15 hours on Amazon MGM Studios' channel, a sharp departure from the usual start for its short uploads. Jordan directs, produces and stars, with Arjona playing Miss Bennett and Kenneth Branagh playing an art collector who wants his Van Gogh back.
The trailer gives Bennett more to investigate than a missing painting. She reads Crown's art collection as a guide to his character: a risk-taker with commitment issues. He, in turn, wants to know whether she is hustling him. Between their exchanges, an investigation board tracks a string of international art thefts.
Then comes the complication: Bennett says Crown's motive is personal. Branagh's collector asks why he is being targeted, and the trailer supplies its own pointed phrase: "REVENGE IS A WORK OF ART". It promises a cinema release on March 5.
Crown has been a vehicle for leading-man charm before, with Steve McQueen opposite Faye Dunaway in the 1968 original and Pierce Brosnan opposite Rene Russo in the 1999 remake. Viewers are revisiting that history in the comments, alongside James Bond comparisons and wordplay about Jordan's multiple jobs on this film. The new trailer gives them another dynamic to discuss: Bennett is assessing Crown while he tries to work out her game.
