After being in development since 1999, "Get Smart The Movie," has finished production and is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 20, 2008.
The remake will star Steve Carrell as Max, Anne Hathaway as 99, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Agent 23, Bill Murray as Agent 13, Alan Arkin as The Chief and Masi Oka (Heros) as the nerdy anyalist pal Bruce, according to Wouldyoubelieve.com website.
Bernie Kopell ("Doc," from "The Love Boat" and part of the original Get Smart TV series), will be doing a cameo and there are rumors that the original Agent 99, Barbara Felton may also make a surprise appearance in the new action comedy.
T.V. ads will apparently push "The Rock," in first position, Anne Hathaway in second and ironically Steve Carrel, the star, in third. Mel Brooks, Buck Henry and Leonard Stern, all members of the original TV version were not even contacted by the movie's creative team until shooting was well under way and their contribution was "minimal" at best, according to the Get Smart web page.
There are numerous intense action scenes as well. This is NOT the sedate action of the TV series, but intense James Bond-like style action. The humor is also reported to be "crass and crude" with the "subtlety of Al Sharpton." Expect to see lots of vomit jokes, ass jokes and scatological humor throughout the movie.
