About Mr. & Mrs. Smith Movie:

Mr. & Mrs. Smith is an American action comedy film directed by Doug Liman and written by Simon Kinberg. The film stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the lead roles. Besides being a box office success, Mr. & Mrs. Smith also established Pitt and Jolie’s personal relationship.

In July 2000, it was announced Summit Entertainment had purchased screenwriter Simon Kinberg’s spec script Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Weed Road Pictures slated to produce. Kinberg had written and sold the screenplay while working as a grad student for Columbia University’s film program.

Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman were originally cast as the leads when Doug Liman received the script. However, Kidman’s shooting schedule conflicted with Liman’s at the time and she had to exit the film, and Pitt dropped out as a result. Liman then considered Will Smith and Catherine Zeta-Jones as the leads. Liman also considered the pairing of Johnny Depp and Cate Blanchett for the film. Gwen Stefani also auditioned for Jane Smith. The casting of the two leads was set once Liman was able to sign Angelina Jolie. Once Jolie was signed, Pitt re-committed to the film.

Kinberg had an idea for a screenplay after listening to a couple of his friends who went to marriage therapy. He thought it sounded “aggressive and mercenary” and felt “it would make an interesting template for a relationship inside of an action film.”

Mr. & Mrs. Smith was released in the United States on June 10, 2005 and received mixed reviews from critics. The film grossed $487.3 million worldwide, becoming the seventh highest-grossing film of 2005.

In February 2021, Amazon Studios announced that a television series reboot based on the original film, starring Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, was set to be released on Amazon Prime Video in 2022. Due to creative differences, Waller-Bridge exited the project in early September 2021 and in April 2022, it was reported that Maya Erskine had replaced her in the main role. On February 2, 2024, the TV series was released on Amazon Prime Video to critical acclaim.
