(“Look out, Brad, it’s after your Blackberry!”)

Regency is some kind of studio-within-a-studio at Fox, and it turns out they’ve been infected by the bad ideas like so much poop thrown by monkeys.  Which is to say they’re rebooting Mr. and Mrs. Smith, without Brad or Angelina, and calling it (wait for it…) Mr. and Mrs. Jones.

In the 2005 movie that created the Brangelina phenomenon, the actors played an outwardly milquetoast married couple who had no idea they were both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other. Jones will serve as an origin story about a similar couple, showing how a pair of twentysomething spies are set up as a fake married couple when they graduate agency training. [Vulture]

Hot damn, a vehicle for hot, young starlings and a take off of The Proposal?  All this needs now is Betty White showing up to call everyone a c-sucker.  Hmm, I wonder what Riker and Picard think about this…
