The New Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt

They were a rumored couple while filming the wild scenes during the blockbuster action hit 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie began falling in love while filming the movie, and apparently were very competitive during the training of the scenes as well. But it is time for the pair to move on - there's a new Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt - or at least a new Mr. and Mrs. Smith coming to a small screen near you.

Pitt and Jolie have been replaced for the television version of the big-budget film by Martin Henderson and Jordana Brewster.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the ABC adaptation – Henderson's first American television project – will be a pilot for a possible series. It was announced last week that Brewster has landed the coveted role of Mrs. Smith. The sexy star will take over where Angelina Jolie left off when the spy versus spy drama hits TV in America next year.

Now the Australian press is claiming that Mrs. Smith has a mate. Kiwi actor Martin Henderson, who began his career on New Zealand television, is to step into the role Brad Pitt made famous in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

His New Zealand manager Karen Kay said the Mr. and Mrs. Smith pilot was "the most talked about" new television show in the United States. "It's a fantastic opportunity. Since he first walked into my office when he was 19 years old I knew he would be an international star."

Both have some very big shoes to fill, and it will be interesting to see if the television version can excite American audiences.
