Well, now I have heard it all. Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller are making a movie together. Not just a movie, they are playing the Hardy Boys as men.

Shawn Levey (The Pink Panther, Night at the Museum) will be directing. I am still trying to wipe the Panther remake from my mind.

The idea of the story is that the brothers have been estranged for years, but now must come together to solve the biggest mystery of their lives.

The Hardy Men is being described as an action/comedy. Anyone else getting a bad feeling about this?

Simon Kinberg will handling script duties. Kinberg has previously written Mr. & Mrs. Smith, XXX 2: The Next Level and X-Men: The Last Stand.

The plan is to start production in 2008.

Add on:
As I understand it, the film will be based more on the 70’s television series, which starred Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy, than the actual books.
