"TMZ is reporting that Tom Cruise is talking to Ben Stiller about starring in an updated version of the classic “The Hardy Boys” for Fox. Shawn Levy who directed Ben in “Night at the Museum” is also in talks to helm the movie. Production of the movie is expected to start this October.
Sources say that Tom is hoping comedy will make him a box office King again. The film is tentatively called “The Hardy Men” and will follow the boys as men."
Boys?!?

Posted: 2/5/07 at 4:30pmUm, so it's a buddy detective movie. So friggin' what? What made the Hardy BOYS unique was that they were teenagers, getting involved in mysteries and action that was (presumably) beyond their years.

Will they go skinny dipping or at least take showers?
We must prioritize.

Posted: 2/5/07 at 10:29pmNot since Madonna kissed Britney and sucked the very life force out of her has a performer been in this much jeopardy. Run for the hills, Ben Stiller, run for the hills!

Posted: 2/5/07 at 11:15pmIs it set in the Retirement Home for Boy Detectives? Maybe Sarah Jessica Parker can join them as Nancy Drew.

At least someone is putting this in perspective.
Did you guys not see ALL THE RIGHT MOVES? This could be HUGE.

What do we care? Will there be a premiere? Will we be invited? Will there be photogs?

Posted: 2/6/07 at 2:38pmI am not as nanti-Cruise as everyone else, I have more of an anti-Stiller mentality. Funny though, Stiller spoofed Cruise in an SNL Celebrity Jeopardy skit a few years ago. He was pretty funny.
