Hollywood flick Mr and Mrs Smith, which apparently turned its 'reel' life couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie into 'real' life lovers is reportedly going to be remade for the small screen.
Director Doug Liman and screenwriter Simon Kinberg are said to be teaming up again to make a TV version of the 2005's hit film. But instead of the original stars reprising their roles, the filmmakers will be casting new unknown faces as married assassins in the latest incarnation of the movie.
"We're going to do a nationwide talent search and find basically the next Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie," Contactmusic quoted Liman, as saying.
