I misread the title. I thought it said "Stiller and Cruise are hardly men".

lol..that was funny the first time someone said that

 

[Cinemaman]

Personally I loved Mr and Mrs Smith

It was very big disappointment for me

 

[Hunter Rider]

I was just reading an article about the film in Entertainment Weekly, it really sounds promising. Levy said in an interview that they wanted the film to be more like films like Midnight Run and Mr and Mrs Smith rather then a Starsky and Hutch farce. He said this film will be more about sibling rivalry....I really like the sound of it.

Mr and Mrs Smith and Midnight Run are both great so that bodes well

 

[Dark Donnie]

I know it's opinion, but I really don't know how you can dislike Mr and Mrs Smith

I hated script, but that's another story and I am too lazy to talk about it

Odd,since the script was witty and tight apart from the last act

TMZ has learned that Ben Stiller is in talks with Tom Cruise about starring in an updated version of The Hardy Boys at 20th Century Fox.

Tentatively titled The Hardy Men, the comedy would be directed by Stiller's Night at the Museum helmer Shawn Levy, who was just announced as the new director for Warner Bros. Pictures' The Flash.

The "Hardy Boys" detective novels date back to 1927, though a variety of ghost writers using the pen name of Franklin W. Dixon kept Frank and Joe Hardy perpetual teenagers.

The site says The Hardy Men would have them finally grown up, but up to their old tricks once more.




No. Just...no. Hardy Men? Are they serious? The title sounds ridiculous: granted, with effort it could be pulled off succesfully, but the title annoys me. The book series was good; I hope they do it right.

For me it was terribly done. It had so much cliche stuff and things were like I have already seen it in other movies, which were much better.

I guess people like this movie only because of awesome cast, so that's all.

No i liked it b/c the script was accurate and spot on not cliche

Well, that's actually your opinion. I just explined you mine.

Well it's not my opinion that it was accurate at displaying the little things that grate in a relationship and then mixing it with the fact both were assassins,it just is,you may not have liked the story but i'm not debating that i'm telling you that the script is a good portrayal of that type of relationship

So then what's the reason of argue?

Are they still making this?

Ed Solomon Adapting The Hardy Men
Source: The Hollywood Reporter February 12, 2009


The Hollywood Reporter says that Men in Black writer Ed Solomon has been hired to adapt The Hardy Men, a comic riff on the classic young-adult mystery novels about two brothers who solve crimes.

Ben Stiller and Tom Cruise remain lined up to star, with "Night at the Museum" franchise helmer Shawn Levy attached to direct.

Stiller and Stuart Cornfield of Red Hour Films are producing with Bob Kosberg. Levy also is producing through his 21 Laps.

The Hardy Boys adventures revolved around the mystery-solving efforts of teenagers Frank and Joe Hardy, amateur detectives who often helped their father, a private investigator.

The film adaptation would explore the reunion of the estranged, grown-up brothers, who work together to solve a new mystery.

[That-Guy]

Ugh... I hope they get a better director than the "Night at the Museum" guy.

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

I remember this being announced years ago and hearing that Stiller and Cruise were signed on and being very interested in seeing it. I've seen these two on the MTV movie awards working together and they have such entertaining chemistry. Goofy, with a touch of class. They really do seem like siblings in a way. So I'd like to see this, if it ever gets made.

Shawn Levy: The Hardy Men is the greatest movie I haven’t yet made. And it is the thing I get asked about most. We never cracked the script. In spite of some noble efforts with myself and Tom [Cruise] and Ben [Stiller] and a few different writers, we never cracked it. We still haven’t cracked it. We can’t make it until we crack it…
Is it a third act thing or is it a whole act thing?

Levy: It’s kind of a tone thing. It’s kind of like, how do people want that Ben Stiller/Tom Cruise collaboration? Because we’ve tried versions that are more straight ahead action-comedies. We’ve tried versions that are more action. We’ve tried versions that are more subversively self-referential, self-aware comedy. We just haven’t gotten it quite right. It remains the biggest idea I’ve ever had, but haven’t yet pulled off.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

This looks interesting.I'll see this movie when it comes out.

 

[Secret Fawful]

The Hardy Boys series was amazing because not only did it have great mystery and atmosphere but they were also great pulpy action adventures. Which means A. I expect them to screw this up and B. who the hell is going to play Che-

DUN DUN DUUUUUUN
