The Thomas Crown Affair 2

John over at the MovieBlog provides scoop material again, this time with the jaw-dropping news that there's a The Thomas Crown Affair 2 in development. No news yet as to whether Rene Russo will return, but Pierce, now freed up from the domain of the Broccoli family, seems attached. And they're using Topkapi as their source material!! (At which point, dear Readers, your Blog-mistress fell onto the floor hyperventilating at her new found gift for prophecy. Had never heard of the film myself until a few months ago when I caught it on TCM and was dazzled and annoyed in turns-- they really should of had a leading lady who could speak proper English-- and knew, just *knew* that somehow Pierce would end up in its remake. Ahhh, to be young and right about movie-related things...)
