Classic studio film-noir is a thin theatrical category. This page covers announced neo-noir and noir-drenched crime titles—especially Amazon MGM/Orion's A Colt Is My Passport—plus elegant-thief and shadow-crime projects that studios themselves have described in noir terms. Only titles with public announcements appear here.

Cross-genre titles appear on more than one FilmBase page when that helps readers browsing mood—for example a heist comedy under both Action and Comedy—without changing the studio listing or distributor.

Movies

A Colt Is My Passport

Upcoming · Orion Pictures / Amazon MGM Studios

Gareth Evans's remake reimagines the 1967 Nikkatsu yakuza thriller as a noir-drenched story set in 1978 Detroit. Amazon's CinemaCon materials and Laughing Place coverage used noir language explicitly; Deadline reported Sope Dirisu and Tim Roth among the cast.

Without a locked weekend, treat as the announced theatrical horizon for Orion/Amazon MGM.

The Thomas Crown Affair

Upcoming · Amazon MGM Studios (theatrical / IMAX)

Michael B. Jordan's Thomas Crown Affair remake is a stylish crime romance with heist architecture that sits adjacent to neo-noir glamour rather than street-level classic noir. About Amazon lists theaters worldwide.

FilmBase lists it here for readers following elegant-thief cinema; the Crime page carries the same listing.

How to Rob a Bank

Upcoming · Amazon MGM Studios

Leitch's heist comedy is brighter than classic noir, but it is one of the few large theatrical crime-heist openings left. It remains wide on current calendars after the plan shifted.

Readers seeking pure noir tone should prioritize Colt; Rob a Bank is contextual heist programming.

Festival and specialty neo-noir

Upcoming · Specialty distributors

Weekly calendars continue to add limited neo-noir and crime-thriller titles after festival bows. Those entries appear on Metacritic's rolling schedule as distributors lock weekends.

TV Series / New Seasons

Crime series with noir atmosphere

Prime Video / Paramount+

Prime Video's Terminal List Season 2 and Paramount+'s Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 are contemporary crime thrillers rather than classic noir, listed on Den of Geek's calendar.

They appear here only as adjacent viewing for noir-leaning audiences, not as film-noir classifications.

Why Film-Noir is a careful page

Studios rarely brand new films as classic "film-noir" on wide calendars. What does appear are neo-noir and noir-drenched crime pictures. Amazon MGM/Orion's A Colt Is My Passport is the clearest example in this cycle: Gareth Evans remaking a 1967 Nikkatsu thriller as a 1978 Detroit contract-killer story, described in CinemaCon coverage with explicit noir language.

The Thomas Crown Affair brings glamorous heist romance rather than alleyway fatalism, yet it belongs in a noir-adjacent reading list for elegant-thief cinema. How to Rob a Bank is brighter heist comedy—useful context, not a shadow-drenched noir.

When specialty distributors announce limited neo-noir features after festivals, those titles belong here with Sources. For now, Colt is the headline theatrical, and crime series on Prime Video and Paramount+ are listed only as atmospheric adjacency.
