The Hardy Men?

Remember the tweener books series “The Hardy Boys”? Well turns out, they’re making it into a movie… sort of.
The Hardy Men features the dynamic duo of sibling detectives which are being played by Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller, set to take place after the Boys have become Men–several years after their initial adventures.
Simon Kinberg (Mr. & Mrs. Smith) has been tapped to do a revamp on the screenplay that has yet to satisfy the movie studios, and I can understand why. Not only is the story not based on any of the books, but it’s also supposed to be a comedy with Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller. I haven’t laughed at anything either has done in years, except for Cruise’s wooden performances in the last few movies.
The series began in 1927 and has been written by several ghost writers throughout the years, including a 1970’s TV series The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries.
The studio is eyeing a January 2008 start date for filming.
