Well, now the biggest surprise is coming. Regency Pictures, a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox, has a script treatment in the works of a prequel reboot of the popular 2005 film, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie would not be reprising their roles, but would instead be replaced with younger (and cheaper) actors to tell the story about how they became spies.
This appears to be the newest and most effective tactic in Hollywood, reboot a series and reproduce it with a lower budget and no name actors. The series itself sells the tickets, and they have less chance of a loss on their hands. The one upside I can see from it is that we might find some genuine talent in the search for these reboots.
What do you think about all these reboots? Do you think this sounds like a great or horrible idea?

The first Mr. and Mrs. Smith was great in my book. I could watch it again and again. I think it's silly to reboot it. I just dont get why the industry is obsessed with the term right now. Just make it a stand alone film. Don't "reboot" Daredevil, just make a new movie that is not an origin tale and tell a good story. I think it's dumb to do another origin Spider-man. We all know how it started, just establish that this is a different world that the previous incarnations and tell the story.
