Taylor Russell exits ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ mid-production due to creative differences as the studio begins recasting.

Taylor Russell has officially left The Thomas Crown Affair, the upcoming remake directed by and starring Michael B. Jordan. Her exit, confirmed by Deadline, was due to creative differences, even as filming continues in London.

Russell was originally set to play an insurance investigator opposite Jordan’s modern-day version of the stylish thief, a role made iconic by Faye Dunaway in the 1968 original and Rene Russo in the 1999 reboot.

But Russell isn’t slowing down. She’s starring in Na Hong-jin’s Korean thriller Hope alongside Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, and Hoyeon from Squid Game. She’s also in Frank Ocean’s upcoming film and is in talks for a Single White Female remake with American actress Jenna OrtegaJenna Ortega.
