Would You Believe?
After a long search, Warner Bros has finally decided on a name to fill the shoes of Maxwell Smart in its GET SMART movie: Steve Carrell of ANCHORMAN and THE DAILY SHOW.
Maxwell Smart, originally played by Don Adams, was an inept secret agent, code name Agent 86, that worked for the United States’ secret agency CONTROL. The forces of CONTROL were always working to thwart the plans of the evil force KAOS. Smart eventually fell in love with and married Agent 99, who he often worked with.
Steve Koren (BRUCE ALMIGHTY) is writing a script specifically centered around Carrell’s strengths.
Andrew Lazar, Chuck Roven, Jimmy Miller and Eric Gold are producing.
