hollywood reporter :
abc has given the green light to "mr. & mrs. smith," a one-hour pilot based on
the hit feature that starred brad pitt and angelina jolie.
the film's writer, simon kinberg, penned the pilot script, about john and jane
smith, a married couple who both work as assassins. he described the series
project as "'married ... with children' with guns."
the pilot takes place about six months after the events in the 2005 feature,
which grossed more than $186 million in north america. the smiths have bought
a new house in a new suburb and have re-established their businesses, but the
attraction and sexual spark they had found at movie's end has dwindled, and
they are back dealing with marital issues.
"in a way, the show is all about the marriage," kinberg said. "it is a show
about any married couple trying to balance professional and home life."
the film's director, doug liman, is on board to shoot the pilot.
