Pierce Brosnan is set to return to the big screen as master thief Thomas Crown in a remake of Peter Ustinov's 1964 crime caper Topkapi. Brosnan hopes to cleverly implant his Thomas Crown character into the 'Topkapi' plot, which revolved around the theft of a jeweled dagger from a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. The new film will be called "The Topkapi Affair."
