Get Smart: Steve Carell and The Rock field questions at Comic-Con!


Quint over at AICN was pleased with the Get Smart Footage he was shown at Comic-Con. This pleases me a lot as Quint has damn good taste in movies. I am a huge fan of the original Get Smart and really look forward to this remake with Ann, The Rock, and Steve.

This'll wrap up this report. Strangely enough, the most engaging and interesting footage shown on this whole panel was from the GET SMART movie. I've been pretty positive on this since it started gathering up a cast... mostly because of the cast it was attracting. I love that Terence Stamp, David Koechner, Ken Davitian (naked fat dude from BORAT), Terry Crews (IDIOCRACY president), Masi Oka (Hiro!!!), Alan Arkin and Ann Hathaway are there to support Steve Carell.

And the footage they showed today was pretty damn funny. Ann Hathaway (playing 99) kicks all sorts of ass. She has her shit together and beats the living hell out of the baddies in her path. Carell is, of course, a bumbler, but a lovable one.

At the screening Steve Carell and Duane "The Rock" Johnson answered questions via a panel. Here are some things learn:

Quote:
-Carell said this film is kind of a comedic Bourne Identity... it's almost set in a world that parallels this one. A real world setting for some slap-stick characters. He said he always finds it funnier when the characters in a comedy don't know that they are indeed in a comedy.

-Carell also said he was a huge fan of the original and doesn't believe he'll ever be as good as Don Adams, just hopes to serve his memory well.

-He didn't know he was offered the role straight away. He thought he was going into an audition when he took his first meeting on it, complete with headshot and resume in hand.

-The Rock plays Agent 23, Maxwell Smart's mentor.


Rest of Quints thoughts are HERE.
