New Series!
When Atlanta’s Donald Glover called Francesca Sloane suggesting they cocreate a series inspired by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s hit 2005 film, Sloane wasn’t sure it would work. “But then he explained the idea of taking something that is such a saturated genre and subverting it,” she says. “That felt absolutely intriguing.” The result is eight episodes of what Sloane calls “a remix” featuring Glover and Pen15’s Maya Erskine as John and Jane Smith. “We focus on the quieter moments,” she says, while promising there will still be elements from the film: “shoot-’em-ups and really exciting action.” Despite lots of nods to the original, the series does switch up the movie’s premise. These Smiths are not unhappily married when we meet them. They’re new hires that a mysterious agency orders to play husband and wife while undertaking dangerous kill missions. “We really wanted them to be strangers so that we can see the entire relationship unfold in front of our eyes,” Sloane explains. “That way, you’re seeing two people learn to be vulnerable when real feelings come into play as they face daily life-and-death situations.” — Ileane Rudolph
