The Hardy Men

6/2/09 – SCI FI Wire reported that Ed Solomon’s upcoming project, The Hardy Men, will take a new look at the characters in the iconic Hardy Boys series of mystery novels.  "To me, it's really about these guys who are middle-aged men who are completely screwed up from having peaked in high school, basically, and have not evolved since then," Solomon said.  About the characters, “... because it's Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller, who are such really interesting actors, to me, it's really about these guys who are middle-aged men who are completely screwed up from having peaked in high school, basically, and have not evolved since then. They don't speak to each other anymore, live in different places, have disavowed their past, and have to come back in and sort of really deal with their own really complicated psyches.”
