Ed Solomon has been hired to write Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller's updated take on The Hardy Boys.

The Men In Black and Bill & Ted screenwriter will script comedy The Hardy Men for the pair, which explores the lives of amateur detectives Frank and Joe Hardy as they reunite as adults to solve a mystery, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Stiller's Night At The Museum director Shawn Levy is attached to helm, while the latest writer to pen a draft of the script is Simon Kinberg.

The Hardy Boys books began in 1927 and were published by Grosset & Dunlap with authors often writing under the pseudynom Franklin W. Dixon. The Hardy adventures continue today in a series of stories titled The Hardy Boys: Undercover Brothers.
