The Thomas Crown Affair

John McTiernan
"The first Thomas Crown Affaire was the story of a hold-up, ours is a romantic movie. It's about the meeting of two very strong personalities, satisfied with being single and unable to maintain long-term relationships."

"The original was centered in the traditional bourgeoisie of Boston. In our version, he's a self-made man who won a scholarship for Oxford and continued to climb the ranks. Twenty years later, he possesses a considerable fortune and is in search of a new challenge."
