‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ Comes to TV With First Trailer

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

The movie itself ultimately turned subsumed by what occurred throughout its manufacturing: Jolie and Pitt turned romantically concerned after which obtained married. The 2 ultimately 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 unsure what meaning 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 totally different this time — as an alternative of a pair who learns of their spouses’ secret identities, two strangers are paired to imagine an identification as a married couple as a part of their jobs as spies. So the stress shouldn’t be the shock of studying of a deception, it’s the suspense of seeing if they will pull off a shared deception. Check out the trailer beneath:
