Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Audiences wanted to seeMr . & Mrs. Smith 2 , but it never come about - why ? Doug Liman’sMr . & Mrs. Smithbrought a twist to espionage films as well as romcoms , with a combination of action and love story that surprised critics and witness . The film was also a boxful office hit and the chemistry between the lead role player was undeniable , but a sequel never materialized , for some intellect . Mr. & Mrs. Smithwas written by Simon Kinberg and was loosely based on the 1996 CBS show of the same name , and hadBrad Pittand Angelina Jolie as the titular couple .
Mr. & Mrs. Smithfollowed John and Jane Smith , a bored , married couplet who have been keeping a big mystery from each other for years : they are assassinator working for compete agencies . When they ’re both assigned to kill the same criminal , they memorise the truth about the other - but that ’s only the outset of their problems , as they are later assigned to shoot down each other . Mr. & Mrs. Smith ’s success was overshadow by Pitt and Jolie ’s off - screen family relationship , but still , the picture show was very well received and the possibility of a continuation was there .

Mr. & Mrs. Smithhad the potential drop to spawn at least one more film , and there was interestingness from Jolie and Pitt to continue the story . In an interview withVanity Fairin 2010 , Jolie share that they ask somebody to look into it , but there were no original ideas for it . According to her , it was all about either the characters getting married , becoming parent , or finally separating , which are not exactly the most original theme there can be . Months before Jolie ’s statements , a prequel was reportedly in ontogenesis , purportedly titledKeeping up with the Joneses , and without Pitt and Jolie attached to it . In the end , neither the prequel nor an actual sequel came to be .
Just two years after the release ofMr . & Mrs. Smith , a pilot for a spinoff TV series was made for ABC , written once more by Simon Kinberg and directed by Doug Liman . Jordana Brewster and Martin Henderson replaced Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt , but there was not enough alchemy between them , and the web decided to not commission the series . possibly the Smiths are just not meant to be on TV , as the original serial aired from September 1996 to November of that same yr , and only nine out of the 13 episodes made ultimately end up on the air .
WhileMr . & Mrs. Smithcould have easily continued in one or even two more films , the story is self-coloured enough to throw itself and does n’t really need a continuation or a spinoff of any kind . Given that there were n’t any original ideas or angles for a second photographic film , it ’s much better off as a single narrative than a dealership – and with everything that happened off - CRT screen , the film will be remember for years to come for dissimilar reasons .
