Lily Gladstone cast in The Thomas Crown Affair
The 38-year-old actress and the 64-year-old actor are joining forces with Michael B. Jordan, who is starring in, directing and producing the project through his Outlier Society banner.
However, details about Lily and Kenneth's characters are being kept under wraps for the time being. By contrast, it is known that Taylor Russell - who previously starred in the Netflix series Lost in Space - is set to portray a suave private detective in the film.
The original Thomas Crown movie - which starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway - followed a woman who was hired to investigate the culprits of a multi-million dollar bank heist.
Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo starred in a remake of the film in 1999.
The upcoming movie is taking place in Europe, and the art of thieving remains a central theme of the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Drew Pearce has written the script, while Patrick McCormick and Marc Toberoff will serve as producers. Alan Trustman, who wrote of the original film, has been hired as an executive producer on the upcoming movie.
The romantic thriller is scheduled for release in March 2027.
Meanwhile, Lily previously became the first Native American to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Killers of the Flower Moon.
And the film star has admitted that she takes her responsibilities as a "role model" very seriously.
Speaking to The Talks, Lily explained: "Given the community that I come from and the structure of what's expected of you at every stage of your life, you are constantly a role model for the generation to step right behind you.
"I've always operated in this space of: 'There's somebody watching what I'm doing.' You conduct yourself a certain way when you know your younger cousins are watching what you're doing!
"So any pressure does feel immense when we're talking about a film like Killers of the Flower Moon. But that's the gift of being part of a greater community, not just my family, not just my tribal nations, but all of it, everyone. We love seeing our own succeed."
Lily is always conscious that she's representing an entire community, rather than just herself.
The movie star said: "It doesn't feel like it's all for me, or all about me. It's about all the kids that I've gotten to do some theatre coaching with. This also felt like it was something I was sharing with them, you know?"

Love true crime? Here are 10 of the latest documentaries to binge
Our love of true crime is not a new phenomenon. Long before podcasts and dramatic re-enactments, newspapers catered to a morbidly fascinated public, taking off in the 1880s when the Jack the Ripper murders coincided with the invention of the rotary press. The middle classes took tours of London's underbelly where the crimes took place, hoping for a vicarious thrill. Now we have documentaries to sate that thirst. Here are 10 of the latest binge-watches allowing us to explore the darker side of humanity from the safety of the sofa. Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story While this doco about Britain's worst serial killers, husband and wife Fred and Rosemary West, features 'recently discovered' police interviews (no mention of how they were 'lost') and interviews with relatives of some of the victims, there's little new information. For viewers not familiar with the horrifying crimes carried out by the Wests against at least 12 women (including, horrifyingly, one of their daughters), the three-part series reveals the whole sordid story, and the footage of Fred West directing police where to dig up the family's Gloucester garden is one of the most chilling true-crime moments on camera. Netflix Loading Hey Beautiful: Anatomy of a Romance Scam This bingeable three-parter starts like all docuseries about women being swindled on dating sites, but takes some extraordinary turns. Just when you think the reveal is coming, there's another juicy twist. It follows three women who fall in love with the same handsome man online – who just happens to need money urgently transferred to him. Frequently. Each of them had video calls with him (who went by different names), and despite not having met him in person, trusted him. The series follows their attempts to uncover the truth and leads to some extraordinary revelations – and the truth about the man whose identity these scammers have stolen. This is a seriously gripping one. Disney+ The Mortician For most of the first episode, I was a little underwhelmed by this tale of the Lamb Funeral Home scandal in California, which begins with David Sconce, who reluctantly joined his family's business, and set about trying to undercut his rivals in the crematorium game. Freshly out of prison, he's one of the main interviewees, so I knew there was more to come. And man alive, do things escalate quickly. Sconce starts out bulk-burning bodies to save money, but his desire for profit soon sees him and his associates – many of whom were gang members – committing increasingly heinous crimes. I'm talking war-crime level. This one is not for the squeamish. Max Australian Crime Stories Let's not forget Australia has its own share of grisly crime. Nine's long-running series, now in its fifth season, examines a different crime in-depth each episode, from historic unsolved murders, such as that of Sydney designer Florence Broadhurst in the 1970s and the disappearance of journalist Juanita Nielsen in 1975 to more recent crimes such as the story of barrister Nicola Gobbo, aka Lawyer X. The latest season also has a grim treat for hardcore crime fans – the tale of serial killer Derek Percy, who came to the attention of Victorian cops in the mid-1960s when he began stealing female underwear and mutilating dolls with razor blades. Strap in. 9 Now Surviving Ohio State Loading Australian filmmaker Eva Orner had to be talked into working on this tale of sexual abuse at Ohio State University by producer George Clooney, feeling she wasn't right for the job. But Orner's outsider status didn't hinder her investigation into the horrifying story of what went on at the university at the hands of sports medicine doctor Richard Strauss. The once-respected physician worked in the athletic department for 20 years, from 1978, during which time he abused at least 177 male students. Strauss was known among the students as 'Jellypaws', and the university received complaints about his behaviour as early as 1979, but nothing was addressed until 1996 – and even then, he kept his job. This is another tough watch. Max Scamanda An adaptation of a true-crime podcast (an ever-growing genre), this is the story of America's own Belle Gibson: Christian blogger Amanda Riley, who fabricated a moving tale of battling terminal cancer for financial gain. If you haven't heard the podcast, prepare to be outraged, as the already comfortable (and white) Riley, beloved in her church community, scams not only her fellow congregation members out of money, but also former friends, with her online 'journey' of dealing with Hodgkin's lymphoma for more than a decade. As well as the crime itself, this series examines the idea of societal bias – would Riley have attracted so much sympathy (and cash), had she been from a different race or socioeconomic background? Disney+ Grenfell: Uncovered This one is an extremely difficult watch, examining the horrific 2017 fire that broke out at a London tower block, killing at least 72 people, and uncovering the ways in which the disaster could easily have been prevented. Opening with the first emergency call, it follows a linear narrative of the horrific fire, interspersed with accounts from survivors, bereaved families and emergency workers. Then there are the experts whose commentary on the cladding, which caused the fire to rip through the building, is beyond damning. The corporate greed and malfeasance that led to the completely unavoidable deaths of dozens of people are rage-inducing. Netflix Trainwreck: Poop Cruise I want to say I'm including this as a palate cleanser, but given what happens (the clue is in the title), that's perhaps not the best description. When an engine fire disables the electricity on board a cruise from Texas to Mexico, it plunges the ship into darkness – and stops other things plunging down the toilets. The plan is to tow the ship to port, but after it drifts out to sea, passengers are left without running water and toilets for four days. But the biggest horror, according to passenger accounts, is the red bags supplied for 'pooping' in. And that's before a free bar is opened, the toilets start overflowing and things turn into a fecal-themed Lord of The Flies. Netflix Exposed: Naked Crimes This true-crime series is peak America – at once titillating, voyeuristic and exploitative. Comprising cobbled-together clips of various crimes being committed by naked perpetrators, it also features firsthand accounts from cops, witnesses and the occasional nude criminal themselves. The (mercifully) grainy footage is culled from CCTV, home security cameras and police body-worn cameras, and the crimes range from everything to DUI arrests to petty theft. While some of it is amusing, it's hard not to feel for the birthday-suited crims, many of whom are clearly not in their right minds. Unbelievably, this cheaply produced series is in its third season. Max Lucy Worsley Investigates Loading The historical crimes featured in historian Lucy Worsley's latest series are no less brutal than modern ones, but watching dramatic re-enactments of bloodthirsty murders at such a remove is somehow less stressful. Worsley examines the Jack the Ripper murders, and how the breathless newspaper accounts of the murders became the prototype for all true-crime stories that followed, the motives behind the 1605 Gunpowder Plot, and the case of Queen Mary I, aka 'Bloody Mary', among others. Lovely Lucy and her posh bob ensure this one is more of a cosy true-crime binge, but no less compelling. ABC iview

Lena Dunham's London move sparked creative reawakening
Lena Dunham enjoyed a creative reawakening after moving to London. The 39-year-old star was born and raised in New York City, but Lena's decision to move to London and marry Luis Felber has reignited her creative spark. The Girls creator - who tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Soho - told Variety: "In my 20s, I had never had anything even resembling writer's block. I didn't even know what it was. But post-Girls, I felt run-down and unsure of what I wanted to make. And then one day, I just woke up to a real creative fervour." Despite this, Lena admits that she can feel like an outside on the London social scene. She said: "I tend to ask lots of questions, and if someone is open to hugging, I will usually hug them — and sometimes I have trouble modulating the volume of my voice. All of those things, people seem to almost find suspicious." Lena's latest project is the Netflix series Too Much, which has been partially inspired by her own life experiences. She shared: "It's certainly not quote-unquote based on a true story, but like everything I do, there is an element of my own life that I can't help but inject." Lena shot to international stardom on the back of Girls, and the actress now admits that she wasn't ready to cope with the pressures of fame and success. She explained: "When fame came, I felt like, 'I have to play this out,' because attention on the thing you make is going to let you make more. "I just was very unguarded. I didn't understand the difference between journalists and friends, between public and private, what you keep for yourself, what you share. There was so much that I didn't get." Meanwhile, Lena recently claimed that she's matured a lot since starring in Girls. The TV star has often been outspoken on social media and in interviews, and Lena admitted to making a lot of mistakes during her 20s. She told the BBC: "We all have to acknowledge our own complexities and sensitivities but it's hard to wrap your head around that when you're in your 20s."
