“You’ll do well, son!” : Brad Pitt’s answer to Donald Glover for Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Available on Prime Video and already the top-rated No. 1 platform, Mr & Mrs Smith stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine in the shoes of a pair of secret agents teaming up for the best and above all for the worst.

Although they don’t know each other, the two strangers are recruited by a mysterious spy agency that offers them a life of luxury and a new identity as a married couple named John and Jane Smith to carry out their missions.

But every tempting offer comes at a price, and their cover story gets even more complicated when they develop real feelings for each other. Which is more risky: espionage or marriage?

You should know that the series is a remake of Doug Liman’s 2005 film Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which starred the glamorous duo Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but there is a major difference between the series and the film. This feature film was already an adaptation of the 1996 TV series of the same name with Scott Bakula and Maria Bello.

A phone call with Brad Pitt!

Despite being resistant to remakes, Donald Glover still embarked on the adventure of a new version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith because he loved Doug Liman’s film, as he explained. entertainment tonight :

“When I saw the original, I thought, ‘This is a good date movie.’ A show I could watch with my wife.”

While preparing for the role, Donald Glover thought it only natural to call on a previous performer, namely Brad Pitt:

“I said to him, ‘I just need some advice,’ and he avoided the subject with his natural charm. He said, ‘Oh, you’re good at it, son.’ It was great. He gave me good advice without specific instructions.”

If we understand Donald Glover’s intent, the fact remains that the tone of the series is completely different from the movie, and that’s a good thing. The Mr. and Mrs. Smith series is a refreshing new interpretation that has found its audience on Prime Video.
