Its been announced for ages, nearly a year now, but its all been quiet on the Get Smart front for a while now. For those that aren't familiar with the series, which starred Don Adams and Barbara Feldon you need look no further than Inspector Gadget, which was a cartoon inspired by the tv show. If you don't know that either, get out.
The TV show was one of my favourites. I used to watch it avidly on one of its re-runs (I'm only a pup and therefore not old enough to say I saw it first time round). I especially loved the chemistry between the two main characters 86 and 99 (not to mention the bit in the opening titles where the door slammed on his nose! Class!).
Looks like we got a starter for the big screen adaptation. The guys over at Cinematical got the news first by the looks of things, but Peter Segal is set to start filming in March next year for a 2008 release. As they quite rightly pointed out, without Mel Brooks and Buck Henry penning the film, we canonly hope we don't get a revisit of the Inspector Gadget movie... oh dear God...
Steve Carrel will PLay Maxwell Smart, and it looks likely that Anne Hathaway will be teaming up with him as Agent 99. Funny, Carrel also appeared in another remake of a hit 60's comedy show recently... any guesses "Witch" one?
