Get Smart

[frankie_fan]

Like Mr. Marshmallow said about Transformers...

But like I ALWAYS say, after the trailers and photos start to pour out, people's minds changed and I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie.

That's how I feel about this and Speed Racer. They're probably saving the best parts ('Sorry about that, Chief.' 'I demand the Cone of Silence!' '...and loving it!') for the next trailer.

I saw the trailer during Harry Potter. I was excited.

Nothing news-worthy, but here's how the story will go, courtesy of ComingSoon.net:

When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23 (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). Smart is partnered instead with the only other agent whose identity has not been compromised: the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). As Smart and 99 get closer to unraveling KAOS' master plan - and each other - they discover that key KAOS operative Siegfried (Terence Stamp) and his sidekick Shtarker (Kenneth Davitian) are scheming to cash in with their network of terror. Given little field experience and even less time, Smart - armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm - must defeat KAOS if he is to save the day.

Also from ComingSoon.net, they made a trip to the set. Here's the story:

I did some searching and it has been confirmed that, according to USA Today, as well as the shoe phone and the opening, the Cone of Silence will be in the movie!

Thanks for putting this great info, frankie_fan.

I may not go to Comic-Con (mainly because I'm from Australia), but I got this great scoop from the Warner Bros. Panel at Comic-Con, courtesy of YouTube.com:

So there you go, straight from Comic-Con!

Now, if only they showed a sneak peek of Speed Racer...

[frankie_fan]

Speaking of sneak peeks, Ain't It Cool news was at the Get Smart panel, and they give us a walkthrough of the footage that was shown:

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

Oddly enough, the action is pretty big. It's not like NAKED GUN or something, but it's like these characters are in a real dangerous situation, which I can't wait to see... especially since their main bad guy is Terence Stamp.

I saw the shoe phone. I saw Carell try painfully to use a mini harpoon gun, tether attached... by the end of the sequence he had pierced his own lip a couple times and somehow made a small web of zigzagging tether. I saw Hathaway enter a henchmen filled elevator and walk out of it a floor up, all the men crumpled on the floor. I saw Alan Arkin tackle someone. I saw James Caan playing the president. I saw Hiro (Masi Oka) and Nate Torrence (from TV's STUDIO 60) making some gadgets. I saw Carell riding in a jet fighter holding a bag of his own disgustingly thick puke... the jet makes a turn and the puke doesn't stay in its little baggie.'

I personaly wished that I could see this footage myself, but there you go!

According to AICN, Agent 13 (who'll make a cameo in this movie) is going to be played by Bill Murray (Groundhog Day).

Those who don't remember Agent 13 from the TV show, he was always stationed inside weird places like mailboxes, lockers and washing machines.

Also, from the Comic-Con Panel, Hymie the Robot will appear in the movie as well, although it's not known who'll be playing him.

sweet!

The Life Aquatic was a great movie

Glad to see the people behind the film are really going all out trying to stay true to the source material.

Because Get Smart just wouldn't be Get Smart without Hymie or Agent 13

And, All right Bill, this totally makes up for those two Garfield flicks you did.
