The Nude bomb. When it explodes it disintergrates people's clothes off.

I wanted to not like this because I hate all of these movies based on old TV shows..but I used to love watching reruns of Get Smart when I was a kid, and Casting seems right, so I think I'm in.

USA Today has published this first photo of Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway in Warner Bros.' Get Smart, the big screen adaptation directed by Peter Segal for a June 20, 2008 release.

Based on the 1965 Mel Brooks/Buck Henry-created series, Carell and Hathaway play spymasters Maxwell Smart and Agent 99, respectively - roles originaly played by the late Don Adams and Barbara Feldon, now 75.

While the show was a silly Cold War comedy, the movie will "show the disconnect between government agencies as we saw right after 9/11 when the CIA and FBI weren't really communicating," Segal told the newspaper. "We wanted to make sure we were politically satirical."

The anarchy group known as KAOS is back for more foiling, and the mockery tends to stay closer to bureaucratic bungling.

"Obviously, Max works for CONTROL, and there's a lot of infighting within Washington over who's responsible for which parts of the world," the director added.

The story focuses on KAOS' blackmailing the United States by threatening to give away launch codes for nuclear bombs that are in the hands of bad guys.

"Max has to figure out where the bombs are and stop them, ultimately saving the world," Segal said.

The film updates the relationship between the two heroes, telling an origin story of how Smart became an agent and met 99. In this version, she is the veteran spy who takes the newcomer under her wing.

Segal explained, "99 is a little more kick-(butt) and tougher, more emancipated. She's more the female James Bond, teaching him the ropes."

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Terence Stamp, Alan Arkin and Ken Davitian co-star

Steve Carell is over exposing himself in media and the hollywood. I really like his work and I hope he doesn't fizzle out.

mmm... naked bomb + anne hathaway = omg



just watch 'havoc' for proof.

 

[aeillill]

I also grew up watching this on Nick at Nite, I have so much hope for how this will turn out especially since the original creators (max brooks!) are invovled, and I think Steve Carrell can make a good Maxwell Smart.

I just hope they don't ruin it, because it would be so easy for them to, but I have some faith.

Anne Hathaway on Get Smart's Agent 99

At the New York junket for her new Jane Austen semi-biopic Becoming Jane, actress Anne Hathaway talked with ComingSoon.net about her upcoming role of Agent 99 in Warner Bros. remake of the Mel Brooks television show Get Smart.

We asked her if it was as daunting stepping into the original Agent 99 Barbara Feldman's shoes as it was portraying the beloved author of her new movie. "I learned on 'Ella Enchanted' that you'll never make everyone happy," Hathaway responded. "Even if you make a cute movie, if it's based on a beloved person, a beloved book, a beloved TV series, anything beloved, you will never be able to make everyone happy. It was proven to me again with 'Becoming Jane' so by the time I got to 'Get Smart,' I really just wanted to hear that Mel Brooks, Leonard Stern and Barbara Feldman approved of my casting and they all did. Once I had that in my back pocket, I just said, 'Okay, I feel really comfortable going off and creating now.' I couldn't get Jane Austen's approval, but the people's reaction to the film has made me feel good. In that sense, I feel more audacious playing Jane Austen, but I was equally intimidated."

We also wondered how hard it was to play the role opposite the hilarious Steve Carell without laughing through every take, since Agent 99 is supposed to remain completely stoic and serious during his shenanigans. "I lost it on-camera and ruined a really great take once, and so then, the pressure was really on for me and I never wanted to do that again, and so I just started to work on deep breathing. I found that biting the inside of my lip helped a lot. Below frame, I was just pinching my wrist. I mean anything I could do to distract me. A lot of our scenes together didn't shoot until the end of the film, so by that point, we were really comfortable with each other, and we really just took off and had so much fun. I hope everyone else enjoys this as much as we did, but it is completely impossible to keep a straight face."

"You know he can't keep a straight face around?" Hathaway asked enticingly. "Alan Arkin. We did a scene where Alan had us all in stitches, but the rest of us were off-camera so as long as we didn't make a noise, we could just be busting a gut. Steve was on-camera with him and he just kept *****ing up the takes. It was wonderful!" So it looks like Steve Carell has his own kryptonite in his form of his Little Miss Sunshine co-star, the Oscar-winning actor who is playing the Chief in Get Smart.

Next up for Hathaway is playing a coked-up model in Jonathan Demme's dark comedy Dancing with Sheba, co-starring the long-absent Debra Winger as Hathaway's mother, and we'll have more with Hathaway before Becoming Jane opens on August 3 in select cities. Get Smart is scheduled for a release on June 20, 2008.

Steve Carell 'Psyched' for 'Get Smart'

Steve Carell knows how to use a shoe phone. Not only did he grow up watching "Get Smart," but he's made calls with the device as secret agent Maxwell Smart in the movie remake of the 1960s TV show.

Carell told a crowd of Comic-Con fans Friday that he's "very psyched" about the film, which he described as a "comedic 'Bourne Identity.'"

"It's probably the most fun I've ever had doing anything in my life," said the 43-year-old actor. "I have such respect for Don Adams and what he did, and I think we're all trying to honor the original and take absolutely nothing away from it.

"Frankly, I don't think I could ever be as good as he was. I'm just trying to do the best that I can within the context of the movie and it's an honor to be able to do it."

The film, due next summer, retains the feel of the original TV show, said director Peter Segal.

"That show was born in the Cold War era, but we've got a lot of political things to satirize today," he said.

The "Get Smart" cast includes Anne Hathaway as Agent 99, Alan Arkin as The Chief, Terence Stamp as Sigfried, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Agent 23 (a new character) and Masi Oka as Bruce "the gadget guy."

Jaime the Robot and Agent 13, both characters from the original show, are also part of the new movie, Segal said, and Bernie Koppel (Sigfried in the TV series) makes a cameo appearance.

"It's be both extremely funny but there will be action and jeopardy," Carell said. "I'm very psyched about it."

The best thing about playing a secret agent?

"I get to look like I am athletic, coordinated, intelligent and sexy," Carell said, "when in real life, I am none of the above."
