Jordana Brewster is Mrs. Smith? ... so *tear* beautiful

[fembuck]

Moviehole reports that Jordana Brewster (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, The Fast and the Furious) has been cast in ABC's "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" pilot. She'll take over the role made famous by Angelina Jolie in the feature, which co-starred Brad Pitt.

The site adds that the pilot picks up six months after the end of the film and follows our typical suburban married couple - who just happen to be undercover assassins on the side – as they struggle to keep the spark in their marriage going, even as they try to save the world.

The project is being targeted for a fall 2007 premiere. Doug Liman and Simon Kinberg are reprising their roles as director and writer, respectively. Liman, Kinberg and Dave Bartis will executive produce.

Filming is expected to start in March

How do you replace the smokin' hotness of Angelina Jolie? With the inferno of hotness Jordana Brewster! This may be sacriledge but I think Jordana will make a even more smokin' Mrs. Smith. Now if they cast Steven Strait as Mr. Smith I don't think I would be able to make it through an episode of this show without swooning (you know 4 or 5 times).

Jordana on my screen every week (hopefully, if the show doesn't suck), so ... *tear* beautiful...

I think this one depends on if the creators wanna stay close to what Angie and Brad look like but I could kinda see it.

One other concern with Rodrigo is, I don't think he can speak English without a slight accent, and I think a foreign Mr. Smith would be too much. Still, pretty ;)

but he does give off that cheap Brad Pitt vibe.

LOL. Harsh but true!

I think he's too scrawny for anyone to take him seriously as a secret agent or whatever.

Yeah, I think you're right there. He's old enough for the role, but he's got that boyish thing going on. It's like he'd pull a gun on you, but you'd be convinced you win if you could get him into a tickle fight.

I could see this one but if I remember correctly he has a horrible time at an American accent.

Aww, boo. This was one of my favorite choices, but if he has a crap American accent then he must be veto'd. They would have looked together though, and Charlie can do scary and mean pretty well.

Ding, ding, ding! I think we have a winner, or at least in my book, where we both agree.

I love the idea of Michael in the role. And like you I am sick to death of the Lee/Dee/Sam/Kara quadrangle that's been going on. The whole thing has seriously made me detest Lee and Kara, and wonder if Sam and Dee would let me wipe my feet on them if I came across them on a rainy day.

Michael is fine as hell, has proven that he has mad chemistry with feisty, difficult women, is just a tiny bit older than Jordana which works, and though we've never seen Anders clean up I'm sure Michael could do sauve and debonair.

Now all we have to do is convince the casting agents ...

I've heard of extending unrequited love to get ratings but I think at this point it's overkill and they're going to get a lot of bitter viewers who don't want to see Lee/Kara or anything to do with the two of them by the time they get there.

In my mind, Michael looks late 20s, early 30s and could pull off even younger or older (as well as rugged or clean) than that given all neccessities. Those are some prime characteristics in a spy, but maybe I'm thinking too practically and now that we have come to the correct conclusion, there's no way in hell he'll be Mr. Smith. More to the point, now that I'm envisioning him in the role next to Jordana, I'll probably hate whoever they do end up casting.

(Also, this dude better be freakin' hott whoever he is 'cause I really can't get over Jordana kissing girls unless she's kissing a smoking hott dude.)
