The movie model noticed two of essentially the most stunning folks on this planet — Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie — enjoying a married couple who don’t notice that each are assassins till they’re employed to kill one another.

The movie itself finally turned subsumed by what occurred throughout its manufacturing: Jolie and Pitt turned romantically concerned and then obtained married. The two finally divorced, however on the time of the film’s launch, the attract of seeing some reflection of their actual relationship onscreen was an enormous cause why Mr. & Mrs. Smith turned successful, and wound up grossing virtually half a billion {dollars} worldwide.

I’m undecided what which means for this new TV model of the identical premise, with Donald Glover and Maya Erskine within the Pitt and Jolie roles. The idea is barely completely different this time — as a substitute of a pair who learns of their spouses’ secret identities, two strangers are paired to assume an id as a married couple as a part of their jobs as spies. So the strain will not be the shock of studying of a deception, it’s the suspense of seeing if they will pull off a shared deception. Take a have a look at the trailer beneath:
