Mr. and Mrs. Smith scribe Simon Kinberg has been brought in by Fox to do a rewrite on the Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller starrer The Hardy Men. Mark Perez penned the original script.
Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) is aboard to direct the feature which follows the grown-up adventures of the Hardy Boys, teen detectives of literary fame. The story revolves around the Hardy Boys, now grown up and estranged, reuniting to solve a mystery. Kinberg will start from scratch and is expected to take the story in a new direction.
As of right now the studio is eyeing a January 2008 shoot.
