From Jolie to Brewster: The New Mrs. Smith
Filed under: Action, Casting, 20th Century Fox, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Home Entertainment, Remakes and Sequels
When I heard that director Doug Liman and screenwriter Simon Kinberg were planning to bring their Mr. & Mrs. Smith to network television, my brain spit out a pair of automatic responses: 1. Hmm, guess that means no sequel any time soon, and 2. I wonder who they'll get to play the roles made famous by the stunningly photogenic pair known as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Well, based on the news that Moviehole.net just dished out, the female half of the equation has been set ... and it's a lovely one indeed.Panamanian mega-cutie Jordana Brewster has been cast as Mrs. Smith. And if the name and this pic aren't enough to jog your memory, I'm hoping you'll remember the beautiful Ms. Brewster from her work in movies like The Faculty, The Fast and the Furious, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and (ugh) Annapolis. For those looking for some evidence as to Jordana's skills with quips and/or guns, feel free to give the sunny little indie flick D.E.B.S. a rental. (Not a great film, but a colorfully fun one.)
No word yet on who'll be playing Mrs. Smith's other half when the duo hits the small screen, but I'd be expecting an announcement sooner than later: ABC wants to have the Smith series ready for broadcast this autumn.

When I read the headline, I honestly thought for a second that the role of Mrs. Smith had gone to Soleil Moon Frye.

YES. I will defiently be watching this show. I thought the movie was fantastic and would love a sequel but I guess the show will do. And as mentioned if you are doubting Brewster in the part, watch DEBS. The movie is VERY campy but quite entertaining. But the best part is the incredibly gorgeous Jordana Brewster.

LOL, it'd be fine for Jordana Brester to play Mrs. Smith on the small screen, if it'd been someone like Jennifer Love Hewitt who did the movie. But, honestly, how can they cast anyone else to play Mrs. Smith after Angie?
