Will Smith to bring It Takes A Thief to the big screen

This is the type of news that makes me think a.)
Hollywood doesn't know what its doing, b.) Producers have no imaginations, and c.) Big stars will do anything for a
f***ing paycheck.Will Smith, who did soooooo well bringing Wild, Wild West to the big screen a few years back, will take on the Robert Wagner role in an updated version of It Takes A Thief. Now, this was a very cool show. I loved it as a kid. But why do they insist on remaking these shows? It's not the premise/plot of a show that makes it great, it's the combination of a certain star at a certain time in TV history. (I've talked about this so many times on these pages I really don't have the energy to go into it anymore.)
I don't care who they have writing this or who they have directing it, I can tell you right now it's going to be lame. It has to be.
