If you’ve been missing the use of good old fashioned dynamite in modern action films, strap on your color-coordinated fedora for Ron Howard’s Spy Vs. Spy movie. John Kamps will write the live action film based on the long-running MAD Magazine comic strip, for what would basically have to be a “physical and highly visual action comedy with two spies going mano a mano in ruthless fashion.†I hope they keep the same creepy, manic energy of the original strips, though once you introduce the whole “talking†element, there’s no telling where they’ll go with it. I for one can see Stephen Colbert gleeful driving a tank down a city street; it would be nice if it could just be for a movie.
