Get Smart: Steve Carell to Return as Agent 86 in Movie Sequel

7 October 2008 9:57 AM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news

Though there doesn't seem to be much public demand for a Get Smart sequel, would you believe bumbling Maxwell Smart is returning to theaters anyway?

The recent Get Smart movie is based on the classic TV series that stars Don Adams and Barbara Feldon as spies, working for the government agency known as Control. The series ran for five seasons and inspired a couple reunion movies and a short-lived sequel series.

The 2008 film adaptation stars Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway as Agents 86 and 99. It premiered on June 20th to mixed reviews. That didn't seem to hurt the opening weekend grosses which totaled $38 million. After that, mediocre word-of-mouth and reviews seemed to catch up with the movie and ticket sales slowed down significantly. The movie grosses declined to $20 million in week two, $11 million in week three, and a bigger decline from there. In the end, Get Smart became a moderate financial success,

Since its initial run ended in 1970, it's been resurrected for a feature-film adaptation (1980's aptly named The Nude Bomb), a 1989 reunion TV movie (Get Smart Again), a short-lived 1995 television show also called Get Smart, and this year's big-budget blockbuster adaptation. Part of its venerability can be attributed to the ripeness of its satirical target; though the James Bond series regularly skirted self-parody—at least before 2006's scowling, cold-blooded Casino Royale—it offers a rich cornucopia of goofy conventions begging for spoofery. In a role that won him three Emmys, Don Adams stars as a secret agent whose stupidity and incompetence never seems to get in the way of saving the day. Barbara Feldon co-stars as Adams' love interest and foil, a foxy fellow...

Unless you've been locked in a telephone booth somewhere, you're well aware that the new Get Smart movie is being released in theaters this week. It's a remake of the classic spy-spoof television series that stars Don Adams, Barbara Feldon, and Edward Platt.

The new movie stars Steve Carell as Agent 86, Anne Hathaway as Agent 99, and Alan Arkin as the Chief. Others in the film include Dwayne Johnson, Terence Stamp, David Koechner, Terry Crews, Masi Oka, Nate Torrence, Ken Davitian, Dalip Singh, Bill Murray, and Patrick Warburton.

As we discussed several months ago, most of the castmates from the original series have passed away while others were either not invited to participate or opted not to.

Dick Gautier, who played Hymie the Robot, was initially going to play the President of the United States but that fell through when James Caan became available. Gautier was offer a smaller role and
