TMZ has learned that Ben Stiller is in talks with Tom Cruise about starring in an updated version of The Hardy Boys at 20th Century Fox.
Tentatively titled The Hardy Men, the comedy would be directed by Stiller’s Night at the Museum helmer Shawn Levy, who was just announced as the new director for Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Flash.
The “Hardy Boys” detective novels date back to 1927, though a variety of ghost writers using the pen name of Franklin W. Dixon kept Frank and Joe Hardy perpetual teenagers.
The site says The Hardy Men would have them finally grown up, but up to their old tricks once more.
