Just in case you weren't aware, MAD was a magazine that did parodies of pretty much everything. They also had their own original skits, and one of their most well known ones was Spy vs. Spy

Warner Bros and Imagine Entertainment have been developing a film for Spy vs. Spy since 2011, with Ron Howard originally on board to helm the movie. Things obviously fell through, so it appears Rawson Marshall Thurber is now in talks to direct. He's known for helming movies such as Central Intelligence, Skyscraper and DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story. This is being developed as a comedy action movie, so it should be up his alley. 

Basically, Spy vs. Spy was a skit that involved two beaked-nosed spies trying to kill each other. It was a wordless comic strip, that had nothing but the spies themselves and the booby traps they would set up. 

Making a live action movie out of something so simple seems like an interesting choice, to say the least. However, if done well, it could be a decent hit. Also, it would introduce a part of the MAD world to a new generation.
