Back in 2007, it was reported that then girlfriend/boyfriend Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had such a great time filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” (much to Jennifer Aniston’s chagrin) that they were considering reprising their roles in a sequel.
Jolie confirms that there have been attempts to write scripts, but nothing clicked.
“People have tried,” she recently told Vanity Fair in a piece that mentions she may retire from acting, but would also love to co-star with Pitt again. “And it’s strange: do we have kids in the movie? We’ve thought about that, but it becomes personal now that we actually have kids. And if we work on it, we pull from our own life, which is funny to us, but you feel strange sharing too much. We did ask somebody to look into ‘Mr. & Mrs.’ to see if they could crack a sequel, but there wasn’t anything original. It was just, Well, they’re going to get married, or they’ve got kids, or they get separated. Never great.”
Well, that officially closes the book on that one, but never fear, there’s already a younger reboot/prequel version in the works. No really. It’s called, “Mr. and Mrs. Jones.” Someone call Doug Liman? We hear he’s looking for a gig.
