Mr. & Mrs. Smith Also Being Rebooted?

Mr. & Mrs. Smith Also Being Rebooted? - ComingSoon.net

New York Magazine's Vulture* is reporting that the 2005 20th Century Fox action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith that brought together Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (in many more ways than one) is being given the reboot treatment by Regency, one of the development arms of Fox, with Akiva Goldsman attached to produce.

The original movie showed what happened when a married couple, both working undercover without the other one's knowledge, end up on the opposite side of the world of espionage having been hired by competing agencies to kill the other. According to the story, the new movie would involve a pair of 20-something secret agents who are set up in a fake arranged marriage as covers after graduating the academy. Although it's thought that these would be different characters and not exactly a prequel to the earlier film, it would allow Fox to continue it as a franchise without paying the hefty sum Pitt and Jolie would want for a sequel. As mentioned in the article, this tactic is similar to the mindset that created the comedy prequel Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd a number of years back.

Wonder why, that movie was actually pretty good.

Is there any particular reason? This isn't a franchise. It wasn't even a bad movie, and it was even pretty successful in theaters... This makes no sense.

says its..

they dont wanna pay pitt and jolie the money for the sequel and they wanna make it a franchise.

"...20th Century Fox.."

It was a fail when they casted Brad Pitt...lets just hope Matthew Mcconaughey isn't the new Mr. Smith

who would replace those two to make a hot movie?? anyone

Id rather see a Madea Vs. Ms. Doubtfire Movie....action pack

they would probably cast the 2 main stars from those f**king twilight movies to capitalize on there recent overnight success.

Don't forget we should petition for that Avatar reboot asap! James Cameron needs to step his s**t up...let's get Michael Bay to do both....

sounds more like a prequel then a reboot.......
