You know that unexpected outburst of joy that happens when you find a $ 20 bill in an old coat pocket? Here is the equivalent of entertainment news: Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller Bridge, who previously played together in Solo: A Star Wars Story, is creating and playing a new version of the romantic spy thriller Mr and Mrs Smith for Amazon Prime Video.
Donald Glover announced the news through an amusing series of Instagram stories, which you can still watch if you act fast.
The award-winning writers / producers / actors are working on what is described as ‘a new twist and iteration’ in the 2005 New Regency film, in which Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were a married couple who had a moody home life their relationship is significantly spiced up when they realize that they have each led double lives as assassins working for competitive businesses, and they are assigned to kill each other.
Glover and Waller-Bridge play in the series and serve as executive producers. Co-creator and executive producer Francesca Sloane (Atlanta, Fargo) will serve as the forerunner, and Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, en Jenny Robins will also produce all executive power. It is unclear whether Glover and Waller-Bridge, who are both incredible writers, will also write one of the episodes or they will just be responsible for overseeing the creative direction of the program. It may make me a basic bitch, but I’m totally into this. Some sexy geniuses who make a sexy, action-based relationship thriller? Sounds to me like streaming catnip, and like the gift we need in a post-pandemic world.
Glover, a versatile actor, rapper, producer, writer and director, makes music under the alias Childish Gambino, and rose from the early YouTube fame and became one of the defining voices of his generation. He is also the star and creator of the award-winning FX series Atlanta. Waller-Bridge is best known for her work on the unique and amazing Amazon series Fleabag, and but she also worked on Kill Eva and HBOs Run, and was one of the writers of the upcoming James Bond movie No time to die. The two multi-hyphens collaborated in Ron Howard’s 2018 film Solo: A Star Wars Story, who played Lando Calrissian and droid L3-37 respectively, and Glover had previously shouted Waller-Bridge’s talents in public, so it’s clear they’re having a good relationship.
Mr and Mrs Smith debuts exclusively on Amazon Prime Video 2022.
