Mayor Luis Eduardo Garzón invited Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and the producers to get to know the city and realize the mistakes they made. Adaptations and TV series reboot In 2007, a pilot for a spin-off television series was made for the network ABC. Set six months after the end of the film, it was written by Simon Kinberg and directed by Doug Liman. Kinberg described the proposed television series as "Married... with Children with guns." The roles of John and Jane were played by Martin Henderson and Jordana Brewster. On website The Futon Critic, Brian Ford Sullivan criticised the chemistry between Henderson and Brewster and ended his review stating, "While there's always a few gems that get locked away in the networks' vaults each year, this decidedly isn't one of them". ABC decided not to commission the series. The film is parodied in Treehouse of Horror XVIII, a 2007 episode of the animated television series The Simpsons. In June 2010, Jolie said that she and Pitt had inquired about a sequel to the film but were dissatisfied with the story. Jolie remarked, "We did ask somebody to look into Mr. & Mrs. to see if they could crack a sequel, but there wasn't anything original. It was just, 'Well, they're going to get married, or they've got kids, or they get separated.' Never great." In July 2011, it was announced that Hong Kong studio New Asia Entertainment Group would produce a remake entitled Assassin Couple. Donnie Yen and Cecilia Cheung were to star in the lead roles and the studio stated that, while the film would have some similarities with Mr. & Mrs. Smith, it would feature a new storyline. The budget for the film was set at $18.7 million. In February 2021, Amazon Studios announced that a television series reboot based on the original film, starring Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, was set to be released on Amazon Prime Video in 2022. However due to creative differences with Glover, Waller-Bridge exited the project in early September 2021 and her part was set to be recast. In April 2022, it was reported that Maya Erskine took over the role from Waller-Bridge.
