Coming Soon To A TV Near You

Dark Horizons Garth Franklin reported yesterday that:

"Director Doug Liman is bringing [last summer's] Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie action-comedy Mr. and Mrs. Smith to television in the form of a series on NBC. Liman confirms a nationwide search will be launched to fill the roles played by Pitt and Jolie - a married couple who are surprised to learn they both lead secret lives as paid assassins".

Despite all of the rumors, which turned out to be true, that swirled around the film at the time of its release, I enjoyed the movie very much. Of course the chemistry between Brad and Angelina on screen was undeniable and spilled over into real life... I highly recommend the film to anyone who hasn't yet seen it. It's a fine and fluffy Popcorn flick.

In order for the premise to work on a weekly basis though, the chemistry between the two leads has to, in some way, be even stronger than it was in the film, or it will fall flat. It will be interesting to see if Liman can pull this one off.

On an unrelated subject:

Don't forget that the 12th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will air tomorrow night, January 29th on both TBS. and TNT at 8:00 PM. While I might check it out once or twice, during the telecast, my attention will likely wander away...
