![]() John and Jane Smith are an ordinary suburban couple with an ordinary, lifeless suburban marriage. But each is hiding something the other would kill to know: Mr. and Mrs. Smith are actually highly paid, incredibly efficient assassins, and they work for competing organizations.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith discover a new source of excitement in their marriage, when they’re hired to assassinate each other…and that’s when the real fun starts. The result is the ultimate action spectacle, as Mr. and Mrs. Smith put their formidable skills to work and their marriage to the ultimate test.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie star in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a sexy action adventure, filled with globetrotting action, state-of-the-art special effects and incrediblestunts. It’s also a comedy with extraordinary characters having some ordinary problems. What became a big-event motion picture had somewhat modest origins.
Screenwriter Simon Kinberg wrote the first draft of the screenplay for his Master’s thesis at Columbia University Film School. “The idea came from my passion for Hong Kong action films,” says Kinberg, who went on to write or co-write XXX: State of the Union and X-Men 3. “The Hong Kong action films were cool, sexy and kinetic, and all that became the impetus and framework for my original draft.”
