Angelina may join Topkapi

You know what would be a great heist? Angelina stealing my pants.

The Topkapi Affair is the sequel to the Thomas Crown Affair remake, and it's a heist film I really want to see get made. Brosnan has been trying to get it into production for a while, using the heist classic Topkapi as the source material. Until now he hasn't had much success, but this new bit of news just might finally get the wheels turning.


Moviehole has posted a rumor that Pierce Brosnan has offered Angelina the opportunity to co-star with him in the Topkapi Affair. Thomas Crown featured a sexy cat-and-mouse game between Brosnan and Rene Russo (perhaps her most sexy role other than that scar-comparison scene in the Lethal Weapon series), but Russo declined to come back for the sequel.

It feels like we've already seen this movie before, and yet I can't wait. Come on, people! The Thomas Crown series is as much about sex as it is about stealing things that don't belong to you. forget the precious art- I'm hoping Brosnan manages to steal her skirt.

True to the original, the Topkapi Affair will be filmed in Turkey where the story is set. Let's hope that Angelina's participation is enough to get this movie into production.
