A grown-up Hardy Boys movie with the oddest of couples as the two siblings?!?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I didn't think the news could get any weirder this morning after that Nicolas Cage starrer THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE bit of news, but I was mistaken.

So, get this. It's not only a HARDY BOYS-as-grown-ups comedy called HARDY MEN, but who are playing the two grown boys? Ben Stiller... okay, you can see that. Who's the other? Nope, it's not Owen Wilson. Try again. It's not Vince Vaughn. No on Jim Carrey. Yes, I'm sure it's not Owen Wilson.

Who is it?

Tom Cruise.

Hooowwwwhhhaaaa?!?

And it'll be directed by Harry's favorite working filmmaker, Shawn Levy, who also recently jumped onto the FLASH flick.

We know the siblings will not be speaking to each other at the beginning of the movie and we also know that they'll have to put past differences aside to take on the case of their lives, etc, etc.

Count this too bizarre for me to hate on the surface. Plus, I liked NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM. Sue me. Goddamn, this is such a weird project. Are we sure they didn't move April Fools Day?
