Steve Carell is so great. If you didn’t see it, he was awesome as Uncle Arthur (originally played by Paul Lynde who was simply hilarious all the time) in the movie Bewitched (which overall sucked).
Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway are at work on the remake as spymasters Maxwell Smart and Agent 99, taking over for the late Don Adams and Barbara Feldon, now 75. The movie is set for release in June 2008.
Director Peter Segal (50 First Dates, Tommy Boy) says the challenge was figuring out a way to update a silly Cold War comedy for the world after 9/11, finding things to laugh at in the face of global fear.
“We try to show the disconnect between government agencies as we saw right after 9/11 when the CIA and FBI weren’t really communicating,” Segal says. “We wanted to make sure we were politically satirical.”
I’m really looking forward to this one.
