I saw a screening of this new Carell film last night and I hoped it would be better.
Carell is a perfect stand-in for Adams, and not just because he bears an uncanny physical resemblance to Don. His style already has a lot in common with Adams own surreal brand of comic genius and hey, it doesnt hurt that he's an incredibly talented guy in his own right. Besides, consider the alternatives. Word is that before Carell landed the role both Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell were considered as possibilities to defile the cone of silence. CONTROL needs Steve Carell.
He saves the poor script. I dont expect it to be on screen long.. Look for this on DVD I bet buy late summer 08.
Get Smart is based on TV Series in 1960s. A bumbling Agent 86 named Maxwell Smart (Steve Carrell) and his more-competent partner Agent 99 (Anne Hathway).
I think this is gonna be a good movie......look at the cast..... Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Alan Arkin, Terence Stamp, Bill Murray
Hmmm it has one thing going for it. You can't do a self referential camp-up of a camp self referential TV show. God I hope they don't fuck up another one.
oh shit I used to watch that show with my dad that's awesome they're making a movie out of it. I think Steve Carell could pull off being Maxwell Smart. He better have the shoe phone that's all I can say xD
WHA!!? I loved the show when I was a kid. I used to watch it on Nick at Night. I think i would be really wary of this but...Steve Carell as Maxwell Smart?! That oughta be good.
