Pierce Brosnan will return as Thomas Crown in The Topkapi Affair

Pierce Brosnan, who can be seen next month in New Line Cinema's After the Sunset, is to star in a sequel to MGM's heist movie The Thomas Crown Affair.
The follow-up is to be called The Topkapi Affair and will call on material from 1964's Topkapi, an MGM film, and the Eric Ambler novel which it was based on, called "The Light of the Day."
The Topkapi Affair will not follow the 1964 movie's storyline exactly. Brosnan will return as Thomas Crown.
Beau St. Clair says Crown will have a "post-Sept. 11" sensibility. "New York during 'The Crown Affair' was thriving. Now his values, all the things he does, have been affected (by Sept. 11). We want to take the character further, crack him open, put him in an international backdrop."
The script is by Harley Peyton.
