Who's up
The sequel to "The Thomas Crown Affair" just got a lot more intriguing with the announcement that Paul Verhoeven will direct it. The Dutch master of suspense, eroticism and violence was in great form with his most recent thriller, "Black Book." He ought to give Pierce Brosnan's jewel-thief story a massive injection of adrenaline and hormones.

It opened in fourth place, pulling in a paltry $6.7 million in its first weekend. If I were Brian De Palma (whose "Redacted," the story of U.S. soldier on a Baghdad murder spree, debuts Wednesday), I'd be worried.
