Per Deadline, the bidding has begun on an action-drama from Leon Chills titled Shadow Force. Kerry Washington and Sterling K. Brown are slated to both star in produce the film that is already being described as a “fresh take on Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” It’s not very often these days that Tinsletown hints that they might be paying attention to our various dream casting screeds on Twitter, but at any rate, this is promising.

There are no further plot details as of yet, but we can only hope that film will include no less than six sweeping, emotionally wrought monologues if you’re going to court the Scandal alum and Emmy-winning This Is Us standout. Deadline believes the project should find a home sometime early next week.

    It would be odd if the movie was hyped as a stale take on Mr. & Mrs. Smith!This is an incredible casting coup, though. Fingers crossed!!

    Which Mr and Mrs. Smith? 1941 Hitchcock comedy or the 2005 Pitt/Jolie action comedy?

    ‘a “fresh take on Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”’You can repackage dog shit, but it’s still dog shit. Someone finally figured out that you can put Kerry Washington and Sterling K. Brown in a movie together and your demographic won’t question a goddamn thing about how stupid the premise is.
